Host Address Changes Involving RAND and ISI

okay so this week the RAND IMP got temporarily yanked off the Network and a brand new IMP got installed at ISI 💅. Some of the people and computers from RAND moved over to ISI, and literally the RAND TENEX is now the ISI TENEX 🖥️✨.

The ISI IMP's address is 86 (decimal) and the TENEX at ISI is Host number one, so the Network Address of the ISI TENEX is 86 💖. Sometime early next week the RAND IMP gets re-installed. It's still going to be IMP number 7, and the IBM 360/65 at RAND is still going to be Network Address 7 🫶🦋.
