For the curious... Paul Baer continued working for BBN after they swallowed BARRNet, although he, I mean I, ended up as a telecommuter supporting their national operations rather than their Western Region. After some time as a proposal writer and a sales support engineer, I have spent the last 12 months as a product manager in their Internet Advantage (connectivity services) group. I was living in State College, PA until Dec. of 1995, at which time my partner and I moved to New Orleans (where she is teaching at Tulane University). This fall I will be returning to graduate school at LSU in Baton Rouge, enrolling in their Environmental Planning and Management program to study ecological economics, a relatively new field that is attempting to draw some recognition to the fact that the human economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the ecosphere. --Paul Baer >>From: Rob Gutierrez <[email protected]> >>Subject: re: the original thirteen NSFNET regionals >>To: [email protected] >>Date: Tue, 3 Jun 1997 16:40:00 -0700 (PDT) >>Organization: The Ranma Project >>X-Comment: The Ranma Project used to subtitle Japanese cartoons >>MIME-Version: 1.0 >>Sender: [email protected] >> >>> >Does anyone remember the NSF-sponsored regional networks?
