I am pretty sure the person in the striped shirt at a Teletype is Dan Murphy, one of the TENEX architects.

Note that Lick and Dick Watson were filmed in the courtyard between the Tech Square buildings. (from Tom Van Vleck via email) Edward Vielmetti 14:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the Robert Kahn link. It was a link to a disambiguation. It now points to the correct artice, Bob Kahn. BTW, I was the original submitter of this to the internet (I held one of only two copies in existence until a few days ago). I will try to add a screenshot here. I edited out the link to IP because that was not the original source of the video. The original source was Digg. I know because that was the first place I let the word out about the video.D4r7h3v1l 00:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There should actually be quite a few copies of this film in existence - I'm actually holding one in my hand right now, on VHS, which I've had since 1988. This film was screened by CNRI at a very early Interop conference, and due to demand, they later made it available to people on videotape. I ordered my copy pretty late, and they told me that they only had a couple left at the time, so there should be a good number of them out there, somewhere. The only difference between the one currently on Google Video, and the one that we got after the conference, is that our copies had the "countdown" at the beginning of the film edited out, and a crawl tacked on to the beginning that said: "This film is being made available by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives to participants of the 2nd TCP/IP Interoperability Conference, sponsored by Advanced Computing Environments, and is intended for educational use only. No further reproduction, transmission, distribution, or sale of this copy is permitted." Pat Barron 03:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

notes from the Digg comments

Music at the beginning is Mozart Horn Concerto No.1 In D, K.412, #1: Allegro

"Nope, the cash machine was real. The cards were Cool Cash Cards from Coolidge Savings. They had envelopes with precounted cash (was it $20 or $50) in them, because they couldn't count bills. It was a year or two before Harvard Trust had them."

recommended contemporaneous reading: "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" which chronicles the "net" from its inception (and of course the part played by Bolt, Beranek and Newman). Edward Vielmetti 04:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Superfile trivia

I think its very noteworthy to include the trivia about the superfiles. Its one of the things that is in this film that can be compared with the present state of technology. 12.5 GB files will probably still be considered big until the 2010s. So I'm going to add the trivia back in that User:Wafulz removed. Please discuss this here before removing it again. -- Suso 02:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
