It's a great story!

btw, "Lo and Behold (Reveries of the Connected World)" is the name of a documentary by Werner Herzog about the history of the Internet. "LO" was the first text sent on UCLA's Internet test. They probably intended to enter "LOGIN" but the network crashed. :)

Of course the phrase itself existed long before the documentary.


For example, the phrase goes back at least as far as Shakespeare.
