I'm assuming we aren't making jokes here, but 3com.com was created in 1986:
Domain Name: 3COM.COM
Registrar: SAFENAMES LTD
Whois Server: whois.safenames.net
Referral URL: http://www.safenames.net
Name Server: DNS2.IDP365.NET
Name Server: NS1.3COM.COM
Name Server: NS2.3COM.COM
Status: ok
Updated Date: 05-oct-2010
Creation Date: 11-dec-1986
Expiration Date: 10-dec-2013
If I've missed the joke, sorry. :)
