Metcalfe’s first Ethernet Scetch from 1976

Bob Metcalfe, who invented and commercialized Ethernet, stopped by Ethernet Academy, and shared his first hand-made pre-powerpoint slide of  Ethernet cirka 1976.

I will need to look around at Xelerated for the first Dataflow architecture scetches. These are from  2000, which definately is Powerpoint days. Digital archives are more easily searchable, which makes my job easier. But I’m not sure the scetches will be as compelling as Mr. Metcalfe’s hand made one. Stay tuned for later updates.
