Hi, nelgin.

 > I saw cow.demon.net :)

Well that just unlocked another memory... Now I'm sat here trying to remember hostnames that I haven't used in 20 years. Oh, wait... carry the one, 1995 was (nearly) 30 years ago now :\

Random aside, I used to work in a place that rented colo space (among other things) and always remember finding a customer who had set all their reverse DNS to <musician>.<company>.com. They had done a very good job of coming up with a list of top-flight names, starting at A and progressing through the alphabet until they hit the end of their IP block. When I branched out on my own I bought my business cards from them :)
