My Dad told me rear-engine planes were popular because they were quieter for most of the passengers in the cabin, except for those near the back. But that was the 80s. The post doesn't talk about that. Maybe engines are generally quiet

I used to work in the telecom world back then. I would have thought that by 2021 the meticulously-architected ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) standard would have replaced the ancient TCP/IP protocol. Nope. Then I would be wrong again,
