Sunday Focus: Happy Birthday to the Oldest Dot.Com Company

     The first company with a registered online address

                        -----Symboilcs.com----

is 30 years old today.

     As CNN reports, email and the Internet predated The "World Wide Web".

     I owned a TSR 80 and a Model 100 (with all of 32kb of ROM!) from the late Radio Shack in the early 80's, and used "Compuserve" as an early online communication service.
    I remember seeing a SciFi movie that showed a photo on a computer screen and thinking, they can't do that! And they couldn't, at least not the early computers.

  Imagine what the personal computer in 50 years will be like. A chip implanted in your body? Not physical at all?
