at least one "history" site reckoned the third node was connected in

believe that perhaps there were only three left by then...
One of the original 4 was my Alma Mater, UC Santa Barbara. I can
say that even though it was one of the first four, its presence wasn't
well known and nobody outside a select few in EE knew it was there.
