Subject: [COFF] Happy birthday, the Internet!
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 07:20:50 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2104070714000.44871@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Born on this day in 1969 with the publication of RFC-1 "Host Software" by
Steve Crocker, it basically specified the ARPAnet and the IMPs.
Oh, and it really peeves me when the stupid media call it "the internet";
it's a proper noun, hence is capitalised.
-- Dave
