Man they really glossed over the part where it switched over to twisted pair from coax. It’s like saying pancakes used to be waffles and then not bothering to explain.
oh yeah, I remember the ole coax networking what was it 10Base2 or something weird? with terminators in each end of the cable and all the machines spamming the same cable... but hey we got to game on a network and it was fun but it was a pita to run and and setup
then we moved on to hubs... still lots of collisions... and THEN the golden age of SWITCHES dawned... that was the times :D
