[Air-l] cultural history of the Internet

[Bill Stewart]

Hi, I'm happy to report that many of the Internet developers are 
particularly happy with "When Wizards Stay Up Late" as a faithful 
record of the origin of the Internet.  For example, the developer of 
packet switching, Paul Baran, described it approvingly as the work 
of professional historians.  I also found it a great read, and dug out 
the Amazon link for you:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684832674/qid=10056
04006/sr=2-1/107-4901325-1823754

Reference Rita's email thanking LivingInternet.com for digitizing 
archival materials, please note this gives too much credit - the site 
links to more than 2,000 external sites containing archival and 
other materials, and only the green background pages are actually 
from the main site...

All the best,
Bill
