From: bm665@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Jay Robert Hauben) Newsgroups: alt.amateur-comp,alt.folklore.computers,sci.econ,news.future Subject: ACN 5-1/2 Pt 5: Computers for the People (A History Pt V) Computers for the People: A History Part V (continued from ACN vol 4 no 4) In an article called "How We Trapped the Dinosaurs," (from Creative Computing, Nov. 1984, pg.

Technomanifestos: Interface message processor , suggested to Roberts that instead of adding networking capabilities to each of the host computers at the varied sites, they could build separate dedicated computers to route information between hosts and the network. Roberts sent out a memorandum describing Clark's idea, calling the computers "interface message processors". At a 1967 Ann Arbor computer conference where Larry Roberts presented his intial plans for the ARPAnet to memebers of the Intergalactic Network, [Wes Clark] ? www.technomanifestos.com /index.pl?Interface_message_processor

Larry Roberts Roberts, a respected computer scientist with good management skills who also had networking experience (which was a rare commodity in those days) was the ideal candidate to lead ARPA's networking project. Roberts was a shy man who was well-respected in his field. Indeed, Taylor had said that the job would put Roberts in position to become IPTO Director when Taylor stepped down, but Roberts was happy where he was and did not want to leave. www.ibiblio.org /pioneers/roberts.html   (951 words)

Interface Message Processor Roberts' plan called for each site to write the software to connect their computer to the network, which looked like a lot of work to the attendees since there were so many different kinds of computers and operating systems in use throughout the DARPA community. Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler used this report to write a final version of the IMP specification, describing communications standards for different computers, and presented it at the DARPA Principal Investigators meeting in June, 1968. After the meeting Roberts stayed behind and Clark elaborated on his concept -- deploy a minicomputer called an "interface message processor" at each site to handle the interface to the ARPANET network, so each site would only have to write one interface to the one standard IMP. www.livinginternet.org /i/ii_imp.htm   (951 words)

Silicon Radio/Larry Roberts Phone company executives told Roberts that transferring information over the Internet via a concept called packet switching would "blow up in his face." Even the academic and research communities didn't want anything to do with a publicly accessible Internet system. Although he was convinced the concept of computers communicating with each other would be "the next step of evolution for the computer field and the next major step for mankind," not everyone shared his enthusiasm. Roberts, winner of the 1981 Erickson Award, began thinking about creating a computer network way back in 1962. www.transmitmedia.com /svr/vault/roberts   (951 words)

Pere Ubu Bios Robert worked for Digital Equipment Corporation (now Compaq) for 18.696 years repairing computers, he is now System Manager for Digital Alphas and an IBM AS/400 at a local hospital. Recognizing that a fundamental theme of Mr Thomas' work is the gestalt of culture, geography and sound, the Department of Cultural Geography at Clark University (Worcester MA) commissioned a lecture, "The Geography of Sound In The Magnetic Age," in 1996, delivered, as well, at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie, Amsterdam, later that year.

Old life left on the shelf - smh.com.au Happy to stay where he is for the time being, Roberts says he can see a long-term future for himself in computers - perhaps in a consulting position or turning his passion for animation into a commercial venture. After quitting an engineering degree, Roberts had applied for job after job - "just anything that looked OK" - only to be knocked back because he had no qualifications. Luke Roberts, 23, was working at night stacking shelves in Myer when he saw an advertisement for a computer technician. www.smh.com.au /articles/2002/08/31/1030508128116.html   (2168 words)

NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: JUST FAKING IT By JONATHAN FOREMAN In "Simone," Al Pacino is a director who uses computers to create an actress after his spoiled star, Winona Ryder, left, walks out because her trailer is too small. This only makes the world hungrier for her, and Viktor finds himself manipulating a gigantic fraud, using his computer to supply "live" interviews with Simone to magazines and TV shows.

Lawrence Roberts Home Page It was at this meeting that Wes Clark suggested the use of mini-computers for network packet switches instead of using the main frame computers themselves for switching. This experiment was the first time two computers talked to each other and the first time packets were used to communicate between computers. It shows that packet switching would work, whereas until the ARPANET was built in 1969, most communications experts claimed that packet switching would never work. www.packet.cc /internet.html   (1738 words)

InternetChronology The ARPANET program as proposed to Congress by Roberts was to explore computer resource sharing and packet switched communications and had nothing to do with nuclear war or survivability. Even though this Rand work was based on this premise, the ARPANET and the Internet stemmed from the MIT work of Licklider, Kleinrock and Roberts, and had no relation to Baran's work. It was at this meeting that Wes Clark suggested the use of mini-computers for network packet switches instead of using the main frame computers themselves for switching. www.ziplink.net /~lroberts/InternetChronology.html   (1803 words)

EARLY HISTORY OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTER Disk drives had long been used with mainframe computers but they were too expensive for the low cost home computers the industry was trying to develop. Ed Roberts decided to call his computer the Altair after the name of a planet in a StarTrek episode Les Solomon's daughter was watching. By the early 1970s there was a vast number of people who had had some experience with mainframe computers and would love to have a computer of their own. www.sjsu.edu /faculty/watkins/pc.htm   (724 words)

Altair History Now, you can argue the point, but it is generally accepted that the MITS Altair, circa 1975, was the first mass produced, commercially successful personal computer, and Ed Roberts, with some help, masterminded its creation and success. The Altair was called a "Hobbyist Computer" because few users could afford enough parts and peripherals to built a "complete" computer system. The Altair was not called a Personal Computer. www.virtualaltair.com /virtualaltair.com/vac_history.asp   (562 words)
