20.24, Saturday 8 Jul 2000 Link to this post 29 October 1969: The first ever packet-based login crashes at the letter 'g'. Thus the internet is born. You can even see the log entry. The Internet Society mentioned this event in their extensive internet timeline. It seems to be a more readable version of the same in the Computer Museum's Internet History site. Oh, while I'm on about timelines -- the W3's www timeline is very good.
