This is old news, but I only just found out about it and I haven't seen it
mentioned here. Apparently back in August, the symbolics.com domain was sold to
a seedy looking investment company that's turned it into a blog about domain
squatting.
I guess it's kind of crazy to have an emotional attachment to a domain name,
but I have to admit I'm a little bummed about it. Symbolics.com was Symbolics
for as long as I've been aware of the Internet, even right up to the end when
it was just David Schmidt doing a bit of support and offering a handful of
spare parts. It's still around at symbolics-dks.com, but it's just not quite
the same, y'know? And what an ignominious ending...
