Like, oh, just to pick an example, Usenet back in the dialup days.Now that's a fond memory. I still vividly recall scrambling to figure out how I was going to convince Large Midwestern University to pay the phone bills that ballooned quickly with usage.
But it was worth it. The peer-to-peer interactions with people engaged in similar computing efforts elsewhere provided a wealth of information, so if assessed purely on a bang/buck basis, it was a huge win.
Yes...in retrospect. The problem is to identify the expenditures that will turn out to be huge wins in retrospect, at the time. There are lots of other costs that people pushed regulations to get institutions to support that didn't produce return - but they're now forgotten. (Well, by everyone except the principals, and sometimes even them.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
