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. :)
