Keep in mind that this was before ubiquitous, always-on TCP/IP was the 
norm. It was coming, but we weren't there yet and Microsoft was still 
catching up.

I still think that a reserved-for-local-LAN-TLD use might not be a bad 
idea, similar to how we have private network IP addresses for cases 
where there is internal resistance to using a real domain.
