Wow!@! 1985 that's crazy to think about
15 Mar 1985 – Symbolics.com is still a website thought it was interesting to see check it out http://symbolics.com
it would be interesting to see how many of these sites are still up today
You could be a billionaire now if you had bought the brand names of the multi-billion companies.
Ronald that is true too bad I don't have a time machine =)
Hara Kim, If I had a time machine I would be the owner of Yahoo right now basking in my billions!
I think I would choose google over yahoo =)
Hey man! I’ve just stopped by to thank you for this cool site! Keep going that way.
