From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: scj@yaccman.com (Steve Johnson) Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 11:17:09 -0800 Subject: [TUHS] TUHS Digest, Vol 14, Issue 63 In-Reply-To: <20170116164421.GJ6647@mcvoy.com> Message-ID: This comment reminded me of an internal talk I attended at Bell Labs.  It had the single most powerful slide I've ever seen in a talk.  It was a talk about internal networking, and the slide looked like your standard network diagram -- lots of circles with lots of lines connecting them.  The computation centers were networked.  UUCP was on there, and datakit. But dead in the middle of the slide was a circle that had absolutely no connections with anything.  Of course, somebody asked about, and was told "Oh.  That's the networking department..." As I recall, said department ceased to exist about a month later... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry McVoy" . . .
