This is the current 3420 Boelter Hall
See, it is 3420
This is the old 3420 Boelter Hall, whichhas become 3424 Boelter Hall now
Someone just used a marker to make the"0" a "4" now. Typical engineer solution...
(-___- )
Because of this notice, I think that the firstARPANET message was sent from this
3424 Boelter Hall, not the one I showed
in the first two photos
A look of the two rooms (on the left)and the hallway
Man, the Engineering School should spend some money to create a plaque or, better yet, make 3420 Boelter Hall a exhibition room. Come on, this is a huge thing! Can you imagine what the world is like now if this groundbreaking research project didn't succeed back in 1969? :P
maybe Stanford would have more money to do it!!
ReplyDeleteTina: Yes Stanford is richer.. Not sure if they've done anything to Douglas Engelbart's lab at SRI where the first ARPANET message was sent to in 1969 though :P
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late, but I really appreciate your post.
I've linked to an update on these events, one that you're probably already familiar with.
Also, the original room was 3420, which spanned the middle of (present-day) 3420 and 3424. Here is a link to the exact location.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks for the comment Brad :)
ReplyDeleteHey Alex.. I was searching up 3420 boelter and your blog came up.
