[ih] Ken Olsen's impact on the Internet

My memory is that mostly all the hardware vendors, still living in 
the world of proprietary software locked into their hardware, 
resisted TCP/IP.  I'm think I remember a trend where user demand 
forced them to add TCP/IP in parallel with their proprietary network 
standard and then eventually, the bulk of the traffic went to the 
Internet via TCP/IP since users (e.g., big corporations) in fact 
didn't want to be locked into a single vendor.
