oh man your comment just made me remember that i registered a domain by also FTPing a txt file to some NIC FTP site, i'm guessing it was 1991?.
IIRC that's when i registered rmt.org (my initials) using that method (for free!). used it for a couple of years but then moved to USA and at some point in the mid 90s i guess i had to start paying for it, i forgot -- and lost the domain to the UK union for Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers. a worthy successor!
well i guess they sold it because now the domain is owned by a trust that helps autistic children in the UK. another worthy successor!
