Unless "First" (in quotes) signifies its node name was "First", I don't 
know how it could be the first on the internet.

Year of first internet node connectivity: 1969
Year Sun SLC Workstation was brought to market: 1990

There's a 21 year gap there.

The first e-mail communications occured sometime in the 1970s.

What are we missing here?
