Think.com was owned by Oracle for a long time.

I always forget that dashes are allowed in domain names.

Did it have any relationship to proto-digital-agency THINK New Ideas? I remember them from the 90's.

"Think" was an actual IBM slogan well before ThinkPads. [0] (Which is also the reason behind Apple's "Think Different"). I guess the idea of using slogans as effective domain names wasn't as popular as today.
