Ever wondered what the oldest website is?

Have you ever wondered what the oldest website is?
http://info.cern.ch/ is the oldest website ever, and was created in 1990. You can find a lot of additional information.
However, you could already register domains in 1985. So, technically symbolics.com is the oldest website.
Here are the 10 oldest domain names registered:

1. 15-Mar-1985 SYMBOLICS.COM
2. 24-Apr-1985 BBN.COM
3. 24-May-1985 THINK.COM
4. 11-Jul-1985 MCC.COM
5. 30-Sep-1985 DEC.COM
6. 07-Nov-1985 NORTHROP.COM
7. 09-Jan-1986 XEROX.COM
8. 17-Jan-1986 SRI.COM
9. 03-Mar-1986 HP.COM
10. 05-Mar-1986 BELLCORE.COM

Anyone seen that documentary on BBC? Web revolution or something.
Very interesting for me atleast, just while I had to make a rapport about Web 2.0 etc.
I've been to the CERN, where they invented the www some weeeks ago.
They have quite an interesting museum there, which also partly shows the history of the web.
You know you wanna click it!

No, didn't you know, they invited the www 3 weeks ago. xD
Of course, others found it in 1990.

I've come across this along time ago, it's cool history imo, I also recall seeing a picture of the worlds very first web server posted somewhere on there too. Tim berners lee is the guy who created html and hence www. They say that if he had thought a way of making money out of the internet back then, he would make Bill Gates look like a pauper. Respect to him.
Wow, Xerox and HP were really quite early onto that the whole webby/domain thingo could be a good thing ey
