Charley Kline sends first message over ARPANET

The first successful message sent over ARPANET was the word “login” on October 29, 1969. Charley Kline, a student at UCLA, sent the message from the university’s SDS Sigma 7 Host computer to the Stanford Research Institute’s SDS 940 Host computer.

This makes Charley Kline the first Internet user!
