Dotcom Web Address Celebrates Silver Anniversary:
The internet celebrates a landmark event on the 15 March — the 25th birthday of the day the first dotcom name was registered.
In March 1985, Symbolics computers of Cambridge, Massachusetts entered the history books with an internet address ending in dotcom.
That same year another five companies jumped on a very slow bandwagon.
It took until 1997, well into the internet boom, before the one millionth dotcom was registered.
Amazing that it started so slowly.
