You mean 1993 right?

HERE IS WHAT THE EBAY SELLERS LISTING CLAIMS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THIS DOMAIN.

QUOTE:
This domain has HISTORY and TRAFFIC dating back to 1986.
Its roots go back to 1983! It was used for YEARS to pioneer one of the first public Internet email services in the upper midwest. For many people, it was their first introduction to the Internet.

The giz.com domain and its creators also introduced many major traditional media outlets to the net, including ...

Minnesota Public Radio
The Star Tribune Newspaper
WCCO-TV

... along with early development work for a multitude of large and small companies including QWest, British Telecom, France Telecom, Siemens and many others.
