[NetBehaviour] _arc.hive_ ----------------------Dying--------------------

[Alan Sondheim]

It _is_ odd. I know Jean-Paul was early involved with train scheduling - 
if I remember correctly, his initial break with Merleau Ponty was over the 
protocol for the EOT (end of train) codes. Sartre later said - among the 
ruins of passenger train A40 - that it was his first existential crisis, 
brought on by the train wreck itself. His concept of the 'slimy' came out 
of the spoiled jello tins in the dining car. Later, asked about his 
railroad career, he insisted that all his books weren't worth nearly as 
much as a good switching algorithm - and of course his role in early 
TCP/IP development in this regard is almost always overlooked.
