I've been privately informed of a possible typographical error in this text.

Having so far only had one cup of coffee, I am certainly having some difficulty 
with the concept of something preceding itself.

But I hadn't even finished that cup when typing the previous note, which I'd 
love to blame for the error...

Anyhow, yeah, I meant Alohanet preceded Ethernet, as I hope folks guessed from 
the parenthetical.  But this being a history discussion, it's worth documenting 
the correction.
