Why does #45 have a space in it? "Data IO.com" If you look up dataio.com, it says the creation date is October 10, 1997:

http://who.is/whois/dataIO.com

I assume this is a typo? Or could domains have spaces in them back then?

EDIT: I see from the wikipedia page it is actually "data-io.com"

Creation dates are from the most recent domain creation record, and can be reset from a domain ownership transfer. I lost my precious domain creation date of September 1993 when I transfered my domain from the ISP who registered it /in their own name/ (argh) to my own ownership in 1998.

wow, 1993 - what domain?
