And what was the first operating system to have

internet access? Did Windows for Workgroups have this or was that
just LAN networking? OS/2 Warp had dial up internet access for
IBM's ISP as well as a SLIP dialer for other ISPs, when released
in 1994, but not a full TCP/IP stack until Warp Connect in 1995.
I assume Unix, Linux, AppleOS or AmigaOS must have had this prior
to that? I remember all those damn AOL floppy disks for all the
windows users. FORMAT A: was a good use for them.
I used PPP (or it might have been SLIP) on Ultrix LONG before
1995. And it also makes a difference as to what you mean by
"internet access". UUCP could fall into that criterion, and has
been built-into certain operating systems for a *very* long time.
Peace... Sridhar According to what I've read, the Burroughs B5000
and Manchester
Atlas were both Harvard architecture and the GE-645 was von
Neumann. Am I correct in my understanding?

That's funny, these two messages relate to threads from 2008 but they
don't show up in the cctalk archive. Looks like they've been waiting
3 years to get out.
