Wake up at the back there.  The term "Internet" was not used until
the 80s, before then it was a set of partially connected networks
including ARPANET (to which the company for whom I worked did have
limited access in 1982 but Intel didn't put their manuals on it)
and a load of UUCP machines.

And it certainly was the 8086 to which I was referring, which was
commercially available by 1980 at least.

(There was no significant WWW until the early 90s, as I recall...)
