Yes, happy memories (1972?) of sitting at a terminal next to Harvard's CRCT IMP (56Kb connections to 2 other nodes, woohoo!) late at night and picking up the phone on the side when it rang, with BBN network ops folks calling and asking me to reboot it manually...
(The IMP also functioned as a local router between the PDP-10 and the PDP-1.)
I also remember Ray Tomlinson well from the first email list on the ARPAnet, meta-appropriately about email lists, protocols, and clients.
Those were simpler times when receiving an email was done by anonymous FTP appending to your mail.txt file.
