Who were the first users of the Internet?

Probably one or two of these guys (you actually need at least two people!): 1. Bob Taylor, one of the original creators of the concept in 1962-1968. He had some sort of internet system between three offices. Or 2. Lawrence G. Roberts, born 1937 in Connecticut, and who received the Draper Prize in 2001 "for the development of the Internet" 3. Leonard Kleinrock, 4. Robert Kahn, 5. Vinton Cerf. These last four worked together and developed the 'internet concept' between themselves. i.e. Larry Roberts and his team created the ARPANet, which was the first significant implementation of Leonard Kleinrock's theories on packet switching, a fundamental feature of (a) the modern internet and (b) ARPANet, the first large network form of the internet.
