Random thoughts of a disorganized mind...
(and though it should be obvious, while Sun pays me to think about things, they disclaim any responsibility for these thoughts, nor do I claim what I say matches in any way what Sun thinks)

Sun tied with IBM for 11th oldest .com domain name

Jottings.com has trawled through the whois records of domain name registrations and published a list of the oldest still active .com domain names - Sun & IBM tied for 11th place with both domains registered on March 19, 1986. (At the time, I was in 7th grade, learning to use my school's new Macintosh 512k and using the Apple ][+ at home, neither of which had any sort of connection to any other computers other than via floppy transfer.)

My first e-mail address was at a slightly older domain though - berkeley.edu, registered April 24, 1985.
