For years I taught my students that the Ethernet was invented at the
University of Hawaii in 1971!
OK, it was wireless, but that brings up another surprise, that wireless
ethernet came before wired :-)

This April 13th Webinar will trace the history and development of Ethernet
as a 10 Mb/s product up through the release of the DIX (DEC-Intel-Xerox)
spec in 1980. This was the starting point for the ongoing IEEE 802.3
Standard activities. Speakers include Gorden Bell, Dave Liddle, Bob Metcalfe
and seven other pioneers who were there for the transition.
