Wow, all those old .com domains seems to be registered in 1986 and 1987 …some people back then really had high hopes for the Internet

Thanks for including my TechPatio link – I hope everybody will join in on the new site, everybody in the whole world, nothing less will satisfy me

Evan Kline October 4, 2009 at 7:14 pm

I just excitedly told me wife that her company (Philips) had one of the 100 oldest .com domains . . . and she was unexcited. *sigh* The life of a tech geek.

Thanks for mentioning the 40Tech post. I’m still undecided on the commenter/commentator thing.

christie October 6, 2009 at 8:32 pm: Hi Evan – Wow, what would it take to impress her!?

I’m leaning toward commenter – but I guess commentator sounds grander.

Greg Ellison October 4, 2009 at 9:05 pm

Thanks for posting one of my posts. If I only had a time machine I would go back and register a lot of domains. Greg Ellison

christie October 6, 2009 at 8:33 pm: Me too Greg! I probably would neglect to get the ones that would be worth $$$$$$, but I’d at least get christie.com and perhaps geeks.com, some stuff like that.

Deneil Merritt October 5, 2009 at 1:40 am

Too bad I didn’t see this on Sunday. Took a nice little break. Pretty slept all day. Even if I could go back in the past, I still could get some of those domain names. I was born in the late 80s. I would need to write a note and place it someone for my mom or dad to buy the domains. lol.

Great list of articles, by the way. Thank you for adding one of mine.

Again, Christie you’ve made our days special and all the blogging worth while. Thanks so much for the mention and sharing so many cool bytes! I love Ana’s work too; also what a joyful occasion that you won the header/logo design. I’ve been missing quite a lot for the past few weeks, but gradually catching up. And your cool bytes is a great start for me to check back those great posts for starter. =) Take care!
