The user was a student programmer named Charley Kline.
The supervisor was Professor Leonard Kleinrock.
The point of origin was a SDS Sigma 7 machine located at UCLA.
The destination was a SDS 940 at the Stanford Research Institute.
From those humble DARPAnet beginnings the internet has evolved into the fairly high tech smattering of computers across the planet.
I have three fully connected servers on the 5 node 300 megabit per second network at my place and work with a bunch more servers and workstations I use as a function of my day job.
Ah, my life would have turned out much differently were it not for this plan B and the ability to do something I never intended to pursue as a career. Not to mention my late step dads recognition of "the right stuff" for a cushy coding gig when he saw it while everyone else was saying "nay" !
