Happy 20th birthday, .COM!

[Dave_Z]

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! :tu:

Making me feel old now.. I was 27 in 1985. :P

Haha! Gotcha beat. I'm getting to the point of where events from the past no longer make me feel old- I just feel old, all of the time. :lol: (but I'm still young at heart) :hearts: :wave: :kickass:
Hey -rj-, maybe we should start a seniors discussion area.

The early 80's were around the first time that I worked with anything computer related. The first "telecine" machines were coming out and film could be transferred to video. "How do they make emulsion show up electronically? This is far out, man!"
I also recall the "punchcard" being a relatively new innovation in video editing. "You mean that this card can store all of the edit points from the session, and we can go back and make changes w/o loosing all of our work. Groovy! Maybe this computer thing is gonna catch on, after all"
