<div class="">I remember those days, you had to give our your
email address relative to a well-known backbone site. For
example, when I started at HP, my email was
!hplabs!hpda!hpesoc1!dwalker. You would find maps that listed
all of the major backbone sites and how they were connected,
then you could construct route for your email message.</div>

That's interesting. In 1986 my email address was just
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:twakeman@hplabs.com">twakeman@hplabs.com</a> Of course I might have been physically closer
to the building than you were. I was in Corporate Engineering about
a half hour walk from both the HP labs building and Xerox Park.<br>
