.edu also. I remember when having .com in your email was looked down on. Back when getting email (via UUCP) was more exciting than getting a letter in the mail.
My first domain registered was "Creation Date: 1994-06-01T04:00:00Z", and it was a total pain in the ass, involving certified letters and other nonsense.
Hmm is that really true? According to this list the 100th .com domain was registered in November 1987, while it took .org and .net until May 1991 and April 1993, respectively, to reach their 100th registrations. It seems there was much more demand for .com right off the bat.
EDIT: I assumed these were all open to anyone as they are today, thereby the number of .coms indicated higher demand/desirability. Seems that .net (and maybe .org as well) used to be restricted, which is what led to their slower pace of registrations. Makes more sense in that context.
