Project:Early Internet History And Documentation

This is NCommander's notepad for reconstructing the history of the early Internet and what I plan cover in the near future

The Early Days

The early days represent periods of time prior to the creation of the first multitasking systems. This era primarily consisted of single user machines like the [PDP-1], or big iron like the [IBM 1401]. This section most consists of backstory and context for the broader project.
