Unless you were on Arpanet, to me, you’re a plebe.

Newbie! I was on the Arpanet in summer of 1973. That summer I was doing robotics research at Caltech but headed for grad school at MIT. I was reading Marvin Minsky's MIT email, because no one at MIT bothered with a password at the time. (I still feel guilty because I may have accidentally deleted a message.)
