Over the next 48 months the US will enter into the biggest corporate breakups in history.pic.twitter.com/vyV8V9SHiZ

AT&T sure got around. They signed our paychecks on the Voyager 2 Encounter with Jupiter project at JPL. Not sure how they were involved, but the entire floor where I worked above Mission Control was filled with floor-to-ceiling sized computers. We stored all the data on reels. /1

In-between the times Voyager sent data back (every 4 hours), we worked on another project that AT&T also had some part in: converting ARPANET email systems to Internet usability. We'd get so excited when our beta test emails took only 20 minutes to hit all the nodes. Magic! /2
