Connectivity evolved rapidly in the early 1980s. In 1980 I served on the
board of CSNet, which connected have-not CS departments (including Bell
Labs) via dialup and X.25 links onto the periphery of the magic circle
of Arpanet.
By 1982 it was not extraordinary that I could via international email arrange
all aspects of a trip to visit lively universities of the AUUG.
