A little stroll down Internet Memory Lane

Here's an interesting list - the 100 oldest .com names in the Internet registry.

The one bit of context I can provide - BBN (the second name on the list) is the firm which, working on a DARPA contract, developed the original ARPANET, which grew into the Internet we know and love.

Look at the dates on these - 1985 - 1987. The first time I ever heard the word "Internet" was in the early 90s. It makes me wonder what else is floating around in cyberspace from those days. I wonder how many old gopher and Telnet sites there are hanging around from the good ol' days.
