Vlad, at the time of Nixon's resignation, I was programming in PDP-10 
assembler on the ARPAnet Datacomputer project.  The ARPAnet, at that 
point, had 46 nodes, which boggled our collective minds.  I was probably 
even more annoying than (Jim, don't go there).

The serial log, however, only dates back to 2006; the current tablespace 
implementation only goes back to 2007.  So the implementation is not 
only after Nixon's resignation, his eventual but gracious death, but 
mostly likely after your birth, possibly after your graduation from 
grammar school.
