Due to business models some of this content will take long to be taken to the web but after a while many publishers will simply port it over directly.

In Canada DATAPAC is built by Trans-Canada Telephone System on the equivalent standard and Nortel X.25 equipment is successfully exported to Europe and Asia.

In the US Compuserve, Tymnet, Datanet 1 and Telenet also use X.25 as their main protocol.

Prohibitive costs of equipment and usage in Europe place this technology out of reach and consideration for TinyTalk.

Its influence as the enabler of accessible, affordable and well performing networks can hardly be overestimated.

Contrary to myth and the impression most PC-history-books give, the 2 nd one is Digital Researchs CPM 86 which is very similar to IBM-DOS 1.0 but has more features and is a lot more expensive.

UCSD-Pascal which is built around the University of California at San Diegos Virtual Machine.

After having concluded that data networks is out of their reach they do not perceive anything more of the ongoing data revolution yet.

Instead they are interested in the newly accessible black and white xerographic copier technology.

Its purpose is to extend networking benefits to computer science departments at academic and research institutions that could not be directly connected to the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Net), due to funding or authorization limitations.

It had been reluctantly incorporated into the ongoing IP-work at DARPA (Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn) in 1978.

The 7-layer OSI RM on the other hand (Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model, aka the 7-layer OSI burger) is in the works at ISO (International Standardization Organisation) and CCITT but not ready for publication yet.

Unixs name is a pun on the earlier Multiplexed Information and Computing Service timesharing OS.

They had been preceeded by the Columbus Dispatchs text news a year before.

TinyTalks intelligence arm again misses out on these events.

It would only be in France where the interactive Prestel system, aptly renamed Minitel would have great success by virtue of being coerced onto the population by the French post office and a large amount of subsidies for the mandatory terminal hardware by that stateliest of states.

Emile learns about this and network layering in general in the reading room of the University of Vienna and is intrigued.

TCPIPv4 will still be the most widely used internetworking protocol suite.

Acorns Developers are not satisfied with existing 16- and 32-bit processors.

Colleagues Sophie (then Roger) Wilson and Steve Furber read some of the UCB papers on RISC CPU design.

They decide to try for themselves and start developing the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine).

He learns about the existence of Unix, more on networking and inter-networking and other related stuff.

He buys newly available books on OS use and computer languages and the related tools and starts to teach himself and the tiny staff the usage of computing machinery, applications and rudimentary software development.

In June, Tramiel arranges a no-cash deal to take over Atari Inc.

In the late 80s and early 90s, affordable computer CD-ROM drives and authoring software will enable multimedia encyclopedias, games, comics, animated movies, novels, learning materials and reference information on CD, often with hypertext links for navigation.
