50+ years (huh?)

ARPANET started in 1968 and was formally decomissioned in 1990. Quoting the Wikipedia article:

Adoption of TCP/IP

The DoD made TCP/IP standard for all military computer networking in 1980. NORSAR and University College London left the ARPANET and began using TCP/IP over SATNET in early 1982.

On January 1, 1983, known as flag day, TCP/IP protocols became the standard for the ARPANET, replacing the earlier Network Control Protocol.

UCL is still online, and according to http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/darpa/internet-history.html, it was already online in the early 1970s. So, someone may still have an UCL account from the ARPANET time. Not very likely, but also not impossible.

    Sure, I'd found some other "early 70s" possibilities, so I made sure that the range is at least partially covered, but 50+ is a nice break point and anyone responding with that answer needs to explain themselves anyway so I left in the "huh?".

    Good Day,

      Got it. Maybe change that "huh?" to "please tell the story".
