The quote, for those struggling with browsers and paywalls. I was able 
to see it in a Tor browser:


   Before becoming the dominant networking protocol, Ethernet was
   challenged by several other technologies. In the early 1980s, Mr.
   Metcalfe said, when Mr. Boggs took the stage at a California
   computing conference, at the San Jose Convention Center, to discuss
   the future of networking, a rival technologist questioned the
   mathematical theory behind Ethernet, telling Mr. Boggs that it would
   never work with large numbers of machines.

   His response was unequivocal. “Seems Ethernet does not work in
   theory,” he said, “only in practice.”

A keeper indeed.

Open it in an incognito browser window then.



Anyway, the New York Times is all about Rupert Murdoch now as far as I’m
concerned. Not exactly trusted.


That's the New York *Post*.

LIE.

I’m glad that Boggs invented ethernet. I remember when I first heard about
it; I was at a seminar for Covis in 1980 - all their Star Terminals in the
room were connected via ethernet. Later that year I had a job interview
with Andy Moore to possibly work at Sprocket systems in San Rafael
(Lucasfilm) and they also had a network of star terminals all over the
facility.

I didn’t have a degree so I didn’t get that second call. But it was good to
see my friends at work there, one eventually got an Academy award for his
work on Star Wars.
