The oldest domain names of all 

Yesterday I came across Jottings, a blog that lists among other things, the 100 oldest currently registered .com domains. Most of these were registered in the period 1985-87. Among the biggies, the list includes Northrop, Xerox, IBM, Sun, Intel, Lockheed, 3Com etc. Have a look. It's interesting to see how many of the big firms of today were prescient enough back in 1985.

PS: Jottings also offers an interesting spam fighting tool called the E-mail Obfuscator which uses clever JavaScript to fight spam generated from e-mail links. This tool could be a real blessing for those of who maintain blogs and so on.
