Did you know...
... that today is the birthday of the Internet? In 1969, a
Sigma-7 computer at UCLA was linked to an SDS 940 computer at
Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California. Trivia
fans: UCLA computer science professor Leonard Kleinrock sent a
message from his school's host computer. He was trying to
write "login," but the system crashed after two letters, and
lo! The Internet was born with the first data message sent
between two networked computers. ;-)
