You and your family and friends were online in 1983? That’s quite remarkable.

No, but that’s when “ping” was written, which is what you said.

(And, irrelevant, but my parents were in fact both posting to Usenet in 1983.)

Kind of missing the forest for the trees, but TIL the actual application called ping was written in 1983.
