Indeed -- and I'd be pretty surprised too as I was in the UK at the time
and on 3 Nov 88 I remember reading all about the RTM worm & trying out
some pings & stuff from UCL NSS Gateway (which became nsfnet-relay for UK).

Then again, who cares? :-)

Nonsense. If the NSFnet was "a precursor to the Internet," then surely 
so was the ARPANET. I used the ARPANET from Norway in 1976, Norway was
indeed the second country (after the UK) to join the ARPANET. The 
"first international connection" was most certainly made long before
1988!

It was actually a Dutchman who made the first international
connection on November 17, 1988 that enabled the start of the
world wide web...
