Heads up bestie: the title says March 4, 1971, but the body says Saturday morning, March 4, 1972. The date in the body is the one that's happening 🙈

okay so bestie 🫶 on Saturday morning, March 4, 1972, at 0800 EST, the BBN IMP (#5) is going OFF the air 😭 It's getting moved to a brand new spot in BBN's facilities 📦✨ The NCC telephone and operators will still be around as usual during this whole thing 📞💜

We're hoping the IMP is back on the Network by early Saturday afternoon 🤞 Saturday morning was picked ON PURPOSE, bc if some stroke of fate keeps all our wideband lines down longer than we planned, it won't hit everyone else in the network as hard 🥹 We expect every other site to keep running normally the whole time ⭐

Right after the move, a new Host is joining the net 🎀 It's a PDP-1D at BBN, and it'll be used for some extra NCC functions. It is not going to be a Server site, just so we're clear 💀 We'd like the Host name to be BBN-1D, and its network address will be 197 🧚
