I strongly concur. Even though I am young, I still have studied a lot of
networking history. I knew who Bob Metcalfe was.
However, his InfoWorld article had some points which just made him look
like a complete newbie to this arena. He didn't do research, and
therefore looked like a Web-Magazine-of-the-Month editor, using buzzwords
and appearing to have no clue of what was really going on.
Take it as you please,
