Charley Kline Sends the First Message Over the ARPANET
The first message sent over the ARPANET was from Leonard Kleinrock's UCLA computer by
student programmer Charley Kline at 10:30 pm on October 29, 1969, to the second node at Stanford
Research Institute's computer in Menlo Park, California.
The message was simply "Lo" instead of the intended word,"login."
"The message text was the word login; the l and the o letters were transmitted, but the system then
crashed. Hence, the literal first message over the ARPANET was lo. About an hour later, having
recovered from the crash, the SDS Sigma 7 computer effected a full login"
