Congrats to Dr. Metcalfe!

I remember to have watched the Computer Chronicles episode "Networks"
recently, aired October 1985, which has Bob Metcalfe in the studio.

The episode starts by Stewart Cheifet asking what the future of networks
will be. May be IBM's Token Ring? Or the only two years old new thing
called Ethernet? :-D

I won't spoil it. For the discussion of what might be the future, watch
