I recall logging on through a friend over at Cornell to pull up some bio research in the mid 70s.

Take a look at who calls the shots for those schools and in the government. It’s all the same.

The schools were doing government research. .the point was to interconnected the system to share data.

It was.

I was a programmer at Cheyenne Mountain back then and we had a "multi-path network" covering a good part of the world.

It was part of NORAD.

It was. It was an ARPA-funded project (back before they added the D to the acronym).
