Webinar: Ethernet's Emergence from Xerox PARC: 1975-1980

[Nigel Johnson Ham]

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 :-)

cheers,

Nigel
