-The first .com domain name, symbolics.com, is registered by the Symbolics corporation. (.com being short for "commercial" as in commercial enterprise.) Hmm, I honestly DID NOT know that. Pretty cool stuff.

So apparently you CAN actually still visit that site today. It's the oldest domain to ever exist/be maintained on the internet
