Symbolics.com was registered on March 15, 1985, making it the very first dot-com domain registered on the Internet! The domain name was registered by the Symbolics Computer Corporation, out of Cambridge, MA. A small group of investors purchased the domain name from the Symbolics Computer Corporation back in 2009.
Symbolics, Inc. was a computer manufacturer headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and later in Concord, Massachusetts, with manufacturing facilities in Chatsworth, California (a suburban section of Los Angeles). Its first CEO, chairman, and founder was Russell Noftsker.Symbolics designed and manufactured a line of Lisp machines, single-user computers optimised to run the Lisp programming language.
Symbolics also made significant advances in software technology and offered one of the premier software development environments of the 1980s and 1990s, now sold commercially as Open Genera for Tru64 UNIX on the HP Alpha. The Lisp Machine was the first commercially available “workstation” (although that word had not yet been coined).
