First ARPANET Message
“Boelter Hall, UCLA, October 29, 1969, late evening. Charley Kline sits before an SDS Sigma 7 connecting to Stanford. Foreground shows a Teletype clattering out 'LO' before the line crashes mid-LOGIN; midground reveals Leonard Kleinrock and an IMP refrigerator-sized router; the lab is lit by green CRT glow and a single overhead fluorescent in a quiet Los Angeles night.”
