That is funny...

Take a random dutch company I was part of the DNS team of...

	philips.it		created:     before 19960129
	philips.de		first usenet posting 1991
	philips.fr		first usenet posting 1993

Sorry, these ones didn't have 2nd level domains. They had "strange"
rules (like having your DNS servers in the country of origin). You
still owe me at least one which did.
