[Rich Roth]

Well - kinda - web sites maybe - this chart is kind of interesting:
     http://www.internetlivestats.com/total-number-of-websites/

There were plenty of domains, more then 50 -- most were just email, lots 
using UUCP

Dtop.com - my oldest: Created Date:1992-12-31 -- which is when the 
domain registration started,
Before that as Mik said
