Another nice interview. Thank you! There are many things I had not known before, including of his health scare and how he got started in domain names.

I liked this quote a lot where he explains that all but one of his single word domain holdings was not hand registered by him, and how he captured his name, the one that was:

"the only one-word domain that I was able to hand-register was my surname: Lau.com. And to do that, I stayed by my computer for almost 3 days straight, submitting an email application every few minutes to register the domain. At the time, I had no idea how “the drop” worked, didn’t know how to automate emails, and was using a 14,400 baud modem to dial into my ISP each time!"​

Thanks again for an illuminating look into the life and domain career of a domain great.

Bob
