[D66] So, who really did invent the Internet back in 1966?

[Nord]

Perhaps the most serious rebuttal on the theory of Pentagon origins 
(otherwise known as the big bang theory of Internet origins) came from 
the person who was in charge of the Pentagon Arpanet project at the time 
when the Internet supposedly began, Bob Taylor. Writing in reference to 
a mailing list invitation to attend the 35th anniversary event, Bob 
Taylor explained.

"In February of 1966 I initiated the ARPAnet project. I was Director of 
ARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) from late '65 to 
late '69. There were only two people involved in the decision to launch 
the ARPAnet: my boss, the Director of ARPA Charles Herzfeld, and me.
