The network was the computer?


What happened to http://thenetworkisthecomputer.com/[1]? It used to point to a Tribute website regarding Sun, but now it just points to Oracle.

I guess all things pass.

P.S. Startling how back then (1984[3]!!) "The network is the computer" could nowadays be translated as "All your stuff's in the Cloud" (2006[4], 22 years later). I guess they were ahead of their time.
