Yep. Also, the connection to Holland only happened in December 1988, while 
INRIA in France was connected in July 1988...

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...
