I doubt that. It was only 30 years ago and lots of teens used it. I was one. If you're Jim DeFrisco, thanks for the work! My 64 had a REU and a 1351 mouse in high school and that was very useful!
Strange that none of your examples are capitalized in the RFC then. How very odd. Just face it, it's wrong. No one is going to think the word "host" means the guy who started a party in a RFC.
For example, the word "conversation" in the RFC doesn't refer to two people chatting about the weather, does it?
Or how about "bit"? It wasn't a drill bit, or a bit of money, or a bit part in a movie, was it?
So according to your rules, they should have been capitalized.
Just face it, engineers and programmers are terrible spellers and worse at grammar. How many times (manytimes?) do you see "backup" when they mean "back up"? Hint: one's a noun, the other a phrasal verb.
"All caps means "we have a specific definition for this term, and we're using the term in that specific sense here"."
No, that's what the glossary is for. No one capitalizes the word over and over and over. That's just nonsense.
People who should have known better capitalized WORDS needlessly. Why would a WORD like host need to be capitalized? It's just a WORD like any other, it's not an acronym.

AFAIR you couldn't change the system font.
"Where, exactly, do you see "bit" and "conversation" defined in that RFC, or any contemporary RFC?"
The same place I see "host" defined: ie, nowhere. The word "host" is dropped in the first few sentences:
"The software for the ARPA Network exists partly in the IMPs and partly in the respective HOSTs"
So according to you, again, this means that "IMP" is actually a word that is different from a real imp, and not an acronym?
Where is "host" defined in RFC 1?
Yes, I am sure in 1969 that RFC 1 was going to be in the hands of many non-technical people.

I don't know but it's a decent movie. Can we still watch this movie these days?
Sounds like you're just 10 years older now. I don't think anything has changed in the fast food business.

Wow what a concept!
If you're going to write Donut's, why didn't you also write Mind's?
I don't know, I think the fact you were able to read the story and write the comment shows success at government providing you with free education.

"to its supposed 7 year lifespan"
Did you ever bother to read how they arrive at that figure? It's not 7 years on continuously, it's on 8 hours a day and off the rest.
I like you. You should log in to provide some balance to the tech fanboys.
So I guess air travel is out too.

Exactly why you don't bring your own research to your doctor, he took decades to be wrong, you took months to be right.
If EVERYONE only makes shoes we all starve in a week. Therefore making shoes is bad.
Logic.

That's just aging.

Then how do you stop it? With difficulty? Seems a flawed design.
