Re: OT: Routing-Bits Handbook RS?

Routing bits is excellent and worth the money. I use it often to look up stuff.

What would also be good to have is a timeline of networking technology. Does this exist? F.ex, 802.1D 1990, Rfc2328 1992 etc. It would be sweet to have to get the history of things into perspective.
