[Hidden-tech] Domain Registrars

[Shel Horowitz]

Rich, I think you get the Methuselah award. I actually went online in 1987
but only stayed a few months because using it was so horrible back then.
Command line interface and numeric email addresses. I didn't go back on
until 1994 and registered my first domain at the end of 1995.
