information The .nl domain turns thirty-five!

[Lox]

On Sunday 25 April, it'll be exactly thirty-five years since the .nl domain came into being. It was just a few days after .nl's creation, on 1 May 1986, that the very first .nl domain name – cwi.nl – was registered. Since then, more than six million others have been added. Back in '86, .nl was the first active country-code domain outside the US. And today it remains the world's fifth-largest national domain in absolute numerical terms.

I remember the good old days, using snail mail to get your registration done. Manual approval. Good times

So, '94... I'm getting old.
