if you had the chance to go back time, and your choice of any one domain - what would you register?

Lets assume sex.com, porn.com, gambling.com, and internet.com are not available. So what would you choose?

And remember, you are changing history so its not clear how things will develop.

I would probably choose a super generic keyword like business.com or something extremely brandable such as clear.com

I used to be a math teacher, and I like big numbers, so I'd probably just reg something random like "Google.com" (a typo of the math term "googol", of course).

I registered Computer.com in 1994. I could have registered sex.com. Big boo boo. And after registering Computer.com, I made more boo boos with stocks (on margin). Still recovering form that.

Now I make fewer boo boos.

Now, in 1993 I was one year out of high school so I knew jack about what's popular. Probably clubbing.com, drinking.com, beaches.com etc..

But, if I had some knowledge from today - dog breeds.com (every one of them), cities.com (most major cities), ed.com and my username.com. :)

Maybe even a few category killers - printers.com, travel.com, computers.com, laptops.com, notebooks.com, etc..
