He never said he invented it, and I believe he had more to do than you probably think with getting ARPANET going, without which the Internet wouldn't exist.

Anyway he wouldn't have had a chance, since the Rooshians I mean CCCP invented everything just before the US did. Some of it for real. :) d |
