Definitely check out the rather weird site at the oldest domain name in the list: http://symbolics.com/

Unfortunately the original was much more hacker friendly and awesome. Lisp Machines! They sold it off several years ago and now live here: http://www.symbolics-dks.com/

And that site is downright embarrassing. It reminds me of the way a very different but still excellent kind of older software, Delphi, went after it lost steam and was sold off by Borland: it went to people who milked it for all it was worth while putting as little into it as possible.

my "awesome" referenced more of the product they were selling than the website they were/are running. But yes, they lost to Unix / AI winter and all the money dried up.

Apparently the company sold it to some guy. Here is the story - http://symbolics.com/about-symbolics/

Can't comment on how true it is.

Wonder how much he paid for it.

I have a 50 Mbps connection. After 1 minute and 10 seconds, it has loaded 3.6 MB and is still displaying a white spinning wheel on a beautiful blue background. Amazing.

Disappointed that the oldest site ever can hire a decent frontend guy, slow and buggy on chrome on my mbp.

It is not the oldest site, just the oldest .com domain.
