Internet Almost Old Enough to Drink Booze

... Happy Birthday, Dear In-ter-net! Happy 20th Birthday, to youuuuuuu!

Albeit, a little belated.

Why just the other day, AP was reminding Ed. that the Internet was born on January 1, 1983, when about 400 computers linked to ARPANET switched to the TCP/IP communications protocol. That allowed multiple networks to coexist. Applications like the World Wide Web were developed and took root.

And SPAM would soon be known as more than just a bad choice of sandwich meat.
