Internet Crash
Only two letters were transmitted over the Internet before it crashed for the first time. The Internet was born on 20 October 1969 with the first transmission of data sent from a computer at the University of California to another one at Stanford, near San Francisco. Only two letters L and O were sent - the system crashed when the G of LOGIN was entered.
A Limerick from the cs4fn Competition
A computer was heard to complain,
it's the user who is to blame,
he shouts, swears and hits,
and smashes me to bits,
when all he needed was to restart me again.
