interesting, I didn't see Microsoft on that list.  It's weird seeing a .com list without any porn names.

IIRC it was created in the 70s by the military as an emergancy comunications system.  later it was connected to universitys so they could share research data.  Then the  motivated by the need for free dirty raunchy porn people flocked in droves to it after congress opened up the communication lines.

It was nice to find Apple on this list.

As well as Toad.

And aren't you overfed yet with the tradename of
Microsoft.

Let me tell the story about how this name was born. (But don't steal this story. It's copyrighted under my name).

So, that is how it all started.
Bill comes home after visiting the exibition where he saw how windows-like did the Apple OS icons look. His girlfriend embraces him. But, oops !
It's so micro and soft, she says.
That's how it all started.:rofl :rofl :rofl

I was playing MMPG's in 1982 on our University intranet, but peons like me had no access to the internet, though we knew that it existed as a way to get porn.

Can you imagine playing on a 900 baud  modem?  Of course, we thought we were **** hot because we had stolen a dumb terminal and the modem.

That's the WB Toad.

I was Toad in AW but my squad was slow to move to WB so he beat me to the name there.

I grabbed Toad Day One in AH Beta.  ;)

Lizking beat me to it. I hadn't clicked on the link before asking the question, should have known better...

Hmmmm, Hemp and facial hair, where I'd expected dogs, airliners and firearms.

Too many toads! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa!

No, I meant the Internet we know today.


I know that there was information sharing going on between the universities and stuff, I've played around on modems doing it.  I just didn't know you could open an internet browser and use a .com website then.

What kind of idiot would register MCC.com when McDonalds.com Walmart.com and a zillion others are sitting waiting to be squatted?

You couldn't.

Browsers rely on the hyper text transfer protocol (http) which wasn't developed until the early 90s.

The domain names are more to do with the physical network, they are not tied to the services that run on them (web, email etc)
