Happy 20th Birthday, .COM!

[Dave Zan]

On this day, March 15, 1985, the very first .com domain, symbolics.com, was
registered. This marks the 20th year for .com domains.

Long live .COM!

Bet he's still knocking himself on the head for not registering business.com

I've one of the first 180 or so .com domains from 1987 - the domain dropped sometime in the late 90's. I guess I am a pioneer by proxy :-D
