&gt; 22 May is the 40th for Ethernet - when Robert Metcalf wrote his memo<br>
&gt; outlining ethernet to his Boss.<br>
<br>
This memo shows that we may be a little premature (see date of 5 March<br>
1974) and said boss didn&#39;t think much of the idea!<br>

They were working on this in 1973 but the patent wasn&#39;t file until 1975.<br>
