You sure that wasn't the one that became central.co.nz was it? /wipes a tear from the eye. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:owner-nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz]On Behalf Of Craig Whitmore Sent: Thursday, 4 April 2002 11:19 To: Malcolm Lockyer; Dean Pemberton Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: OT: Old Stuff There is a Sun IPC (little bit bigger than a shoe box size) around someplace which is owned by Me (if anyone can find it). I'll give it to someone who wants to play with it Last time I saw it (_many years ago_ it was loaned to Midland Internet (Who no longer exist).. From then on.. I have _no _ idea where it got to. The only thing which may identify it is , is I changed the boot nvram to say my name before boot.. Thanks Craig Whitmore Orcon Internet

Seriously though. I wanted a Sun server at home for years. Really liked the kit and wanted to be able to have one in my rack at home just to play with.

Maybe someone wants to write the "History of New Zealand Internet". I remember registering a domain name was as easy as emailing rexcroft(a)waikato.ac.nz saying I want "blah.co.nz" and it was done.

Easy for you, I had to fill out a form... --cut-here--- We are now requesting contact info in case their is any dispute over the domain name in the future. I will be comming up with a form but at present I would like: Company or Organisation Name. Is it registered as a company? The company's address and phone number. Name of person to contact at the company with regard the DNS name and their phone number. DNS entry in "bind" format that you wish added. (As I have listed above) If the DNS name is not based on the name of the company or a suitable abbreviation then I require arguments for that name. We only allow one DNS name per company/organisation/person. We will not allow selling of DNS names. Could you please supply this information before I add it.

Those days you could register es.co.nz (you can't now if this was not taken) (but they made rules up than you can't register domains as the 3rd level being the same as the 1st level domain) (Anyone know the reason for this? (there must be a good reason)) (I want to register nz.co.nz and us.co.nz)

Some people's misconfigured and/or b0rken resolvers could get a little confused. I know, it's hard to imagine, but there are indeed people out there who have this problem.
