It was a very long time ago, but I seem to recall being shown http://dk, the home page of Denmark, some time in the mid 90s.
Must I be recalling incorrectly?
no you need not must be. it would work as long as no dk.this or dk.that would be found first in a search list containing 'this' and 'that', where the default search list is normally the parent domain name of your own hostname (so for me on six.vix.com the search list would be vix.com and so as long as dk.vix.com did not exist then http://dk/ would reach "dk.")
And in fact, it works right now; I clicked through to it from your email, and it's a redirect to their NIC. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
