While celebrating the anniversary of Symbolics.com let's not overlook that the first domain name created and put into use,
Nordu.net. There is some debate (some list it as Jan 1, 1985) re registration date, hence the recognition of Symbolics.com as the first. Hats off to our Scandinavian friends!

Of course even by the end of 1985 things were still pretty sparse domain wise, with 6 .com, 1 .net and 1 .org (
see list here). What a time to be into hand reg!
