What timezone did you say you were in again? This is the problem when
expressing historical events...
the ARPAnet
got converted from NCP to TCP/IP in 1983; ... have a more
precise date?
No, it was Jan 1. It wasn't so much a 'conversion', as
that was the date on which, except
for a few sites which got special _temporary_ dispensation to finish
their preparations, support for NCP was turned off for most ARPANET
hosts. Prior to that date, most hosts on the ARPANET had been running
both, and after that, only TCP worked. (Non-ARPANET hosts on the
then-nascent Internet had always only been using TCP before that date,
of course.)
Thanks; I'll amend my notes accordingly.
