was Symbolics.com (domain name) bought by a jokester? When?

1. Symbolics.com: Registered on March 15, 1985, by Symbolics, a computer
manufacturer (now defunct).

2. BBN.com: Registered on April 24, 1985, by BBN Technologies, a
military contractor involved in early internet development.

3. Think.com: Registered on May 24, 1985, by Thinking Machines, a
manufacturer of supercomputers.

4. MCC.com: Registered on July 11, 1985, by Microelectronics and
Computer Technology Corporation, a research consortium.

5. DEC.com: Registered on September 30, 1985, by Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC), a leading computer manufacturer.

It's important to note that the exact order of registration beyond the
first (Symbolics.com) might vary depending on the source. However, these
five domains are well-documented as being among the earliest registered
in 1985.

I'm guessing that whoever owns the remaining assets of Symbolics let
the domain registration lapse.

Kind regards,
Alex.

No, I'm pretty sure that the domain was sold by the old owner of the
domain.

It was the first .com. It was not the first domain name registered.
For example, nordu.net was registered January 1, 1985.
