    Right, my bad. I read TCP/IP. It’s still early.

    I believe that makes you older than Arpanet, which is what I was really asking.

      🤣🤣🤣 Quite alright. It’s 5AM somewhere on the planet, no?

      If you had asked me if I was older than Arpanet, then no. It first came online a few short years before I was born.

      Even though the “IP” in TCP/IP came four years after TCP, the introduction of TCP is frequently cited as the “birth of modern networking”, and as such, the Internet.

        Gotcha. I was born in '80 so I only read about such things. My dad had Internet at the house for work as early as '86, but I didn’t really start using it until '88 or so
