In the Beginning, ARPA created the ARPANET. And the ARPANET was without form and void. And darkness was upon the deep. And the spirit of ARPA moved upon the face of the network and ARPA said, ‘Let there be a protocol,’ and there was a protocol. And ARPA saw that it was good. And ARPA said, ‘Let there be more protocols,’ and it was so. And ARPA saw that it was good. And ARPA said, ‘Let there be more networks,’ and it was so.
