On October 29, 1969 was established the first-ever computer-to-computer link.The first message on the ARPANET was sent by UCLA student programmer Charles S Kline at 10:30 pm on October 29, from the campus’ Boelter Hall to the Stanford Research Institute’s SDS 940 host computer. The message text was meant to be the word “login,” but only the L and O were transmitted before the system crashed. About an hour after the crash, the system was recovered and a full “login” message was sent as the second transmission.
