Phear the implied generation gap. You could of taken that
statement two ways. Going one way, my response to you
is  to focus in on "of its time",  not before or after, at that
particular point. My response to you using another possible
interpretation is: you obviously know what a "baddest boy"
is since you mentioned your circa-70's "impressive" modem.
Irrelevant or contradictory, take your pick.  ;-)

And neither am I. Additionally, I haven't lived through those times.
I didn't talk of nuke wars. Don't load unintended meaning on my
behalf. The country needed a robust communication network. The
nuke thing comes when some people are explaining why it needed
to be a redundant system. There are many different ways to think
of why/when/where the internet took form or even what it actually
is. What about the telegraph? I know enough to know of my own
limitations on this topic. Sure dude, whatever you say...Aloha and
word and stuff to you too. Also note that I don't capitalize the
Net or Internet. That in itself can imply a certain properness to its
origin and/or current state of existence. I'll stay out of that one.....
