    yep, pretty cool, I have some domains from 1993, but 1950 :eek:

    Obviously a mistake in the registry as that was before the Internet :D

    If you check on InterNIC.Net,

    It shows as:

    Creation Date: 12-apr-1996
    Expiration Date: 13-apr-2010

    Cool bug. "Calculators" as we would call them, were only being developed in the 50s so I doubt that they had any concept of "Internet".

    all these sites actually forget the oldest domain name.... It's a .net if I recall properly 5 letter starting with 'a'. I just can't remember the whole thing off the top of my head.
