Biggest tragedy of the early internet was losing .oz (Which was resurrected in the OpenNIC alternate DNS.)

I strongly agree. When I take notes and put files in geographic directories, I still use .oz.

Correct. Fun fact: For many years after the rest of Melbourne University moved to unimelb.edu.au the computer science department kept the domain cs.mu.oz as a nod to that history (and that they were one of the first institutions in the world to be part of the fledgling internet). I was a little sad to see that quirky disappear.
