Record created on 24-Feb-1996." It's but about 10 years too late to make the list! a cool domain to have would be ThE.NET, but its already taken by utsystem.edu John “TE.NET… Record created on 24-Feb-1996.”

It seems to be a relatively recent introduction. It was .org that introduced the rule and as two letter .org domains lapsed, they could not be reregistered. It might be interesting to see a list of the oldest Irish owned .com domains. I think that TE.NET is still around. (Telecom Eireann's old brand).
