The beginning

Snooped around WebCT on Monday, May 28, the official start of the course, but couldn't find anyone. I spent a while online tracking down a copy of the textbook, or maybe not the textbook, Internet: The Complete Reference. Seems it was last published in 2002, and I found a dusty, new copy in Leicester, England, for $2.50 + postage of $25.

I'll put it on hold till I find out  if it will be useful. I suspect it was the textbook for a previous offering of NET11- Internet Communications, which is the reason I've started this blog. I have to keep a Learning Log.

Found some activity on the discussion board on Tuesday, May 29. Introductions were made on the message board- a friendly mob. I suspect many of them have far greater technical experience than moi. But I have my secret weapon.

I haven't got around to writing this up till Saturday, June 2, so this bit is retrospective.
