- Well I'm not sure how you'd put a date on when the "Honeywell dinosaurs" were
- invented but Ethernet dates from 1980. The original spec:
-
- "The Ethernet, A Local Area Network: Data Link layer and Physical Layer
- Specifications (Version 1.0)" Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel, Xerox. 1980.
-
- That's at least 12 years ago - how long do some people need? Let's spell it out
- for those who aren't sure - Local Area Networks have caught on.
