| 611335 | 2007-11-14 00:54:00 | On November 22, 1977, as it motored down the street somewhere south of San Francisco, a souped-up delivery van sent some information to a computer lab at the University of Southern California, 400 miles away . No one can quite remember what the information was, but that really doesn't matter . What matters is the way it traveled . ( . theregister . co . uk/2007/11/12/thritieth_anniversary_of_first_internet_connection/" target="_blank">www . theregister . co . uk) My first mother-in-law worked for that SRI group and helped outfit that van . :nerd: |

| 611339 | 2007-11-14 03:30:00 | How many mothers-in-law have you had? I must say that I often introduce my wife as 'my first wife', which she is. Sometimes people don't know how to react! | Richard (739) | ||
| 611340 | 2007-11-14 03:39:00 | My 1st first wife passed away on Feb 28th, 1992. My oldest son passed away on Feb 28th, 1993 I remarried in 1997, and my Mother in law (#2) from that marriage died in 1999. |

| 611341 | 2007-11-14 19:23:00 | What can I say. Teach me not to be flippant. You have had more than your share of sorrow in your life, and I hope the fates are now treating you more kindly. Cheers |

| 611342 | 2007-11-14 19:36:00 | What can I say . Teach me not to be flippant . You have had more than your share of sorrow in your life, and I hope the fates are now treating you more kindly . Cheers Not to worry . . it's long ago and past tense now . I never thought that you were being flippant at all . . . it's just life . Seriously . . . please don't feel like I have been offended . . . I have not been . Here's some personal and self-taught sage advice though from someone who's been there: "Don't marry a pre-made family" . It may work for some, but it's a hard road to travel . |

| 611343 | 2007-11-15 00:04:00 | Wow, thats unbelievable. I love this part though: "I was the only guy who could sit in a room where a demo was going on and tell that the packet radio network was actually working," said Cerf. "I have hearing aids, and they would pick up the signal. It sounded like crinkling paper. So when the crinkling paper noise stopped, I would kick the technicians under the table and he would re-power the equipment." :lol: Awesome:thumbs: |
