Why Stanford?

I wonder why someone at Stanford invented it? They only had the one machine (I looked at an early ARPANET host table, and there was only one machine on the Stanford IMP, SAIL) - so no real internal need. (MIT, I can see the need; with AI, DM and ML.)

Speaking of ARPANET host tables, I now there are a few online, but a Web search couldn't find them (for the above). Any you know of, could we link to? Probably from ARPANET for the moment; I don't see any need for an ARPANET-host-table-specific at the moment. Jnc (talk) 18:20, 9 August 2023 (CEST)
