One of the first tangible thoughts I can remember was something called 'arpanet.' I ignored it for a good 17 years, but lately I've gotten curious. I wiki'd it, but it's mostly Greek to me. Can someone give me a summary in layman's terms?

PS: "SiprNet" was also familiar, but I understand even less about it.

Siprnet is just the classified version of the Niprnet that the DOD uses for "Secret" internet military encrypted systems. Niprnet for lack of a better word is the DOD's unclassified access to te internet. There is nothing special about Siprnet except the information is "Secret". General classified info, lower intel rated stuff...nothing crazy like from the movies...it's nothing you can break in through a firewall or access from an internet machine...it's all point to point communications using military encryption over data lines...
