i dropped inparvo.  tpc.int was long ago given to some brits.

in theory, we still have 15nanoseconds.net and .com.  invisible.net  
and palace.org are becky's (as is undesign.org) but i do nic and dns  
for those.

you got a pretty good snapshot of the list.  as you can see, the  
cooler ones like hall.org pole.org and park.org are all legacy domain  
names for sites that were in big operation, at least for a while.

well, none of us thought to exploit the limited resource at the time  
since it would be considered kind of sleazy ... i remember some guy  
wanting to sell me edgar.com.  sure, we could have made money on that,  
just like 1-800 speculators could, but then that's the kind of career  
path folks that could just as easily have sold insurance or worked in  
marketing took.  kind of amazing that 10,000 or 50,000 people all  
shared a common ethos to behave.  that behavior certainly broke down  
as the decimal point shifted leftwards.  :)
