One track mind

While at a friend's this afternoon watching CNN about Ronald Reagan's passing, one of the anchors mentioned a memorial website had been set up. As people around me discussed Reagan's presidential significance, I suddenly blurted out, "Wow! They snapped that domain up pretty fast!"
One of my friends gave me a withering look, "You think they just did that today? He's been ill for years, I'm sure they've had it set up for some time now."

I of course couldn't get such a tiny (but techie) detail out of my head and when I got back to Glossolalia home base I immediately Whois'd the domain and came up with this:

Registrant:
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation (MBWPGLOJUD)
40 Presidential Drive
Simi Valley, CA 93065-0600
US

Domain Name: RONALDREAGANMEMORIAL.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS1.I2X.NET

Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 13-may-2004
Creation Date: 07-may-2004

Two days shy of being registered only one month ago. Actually I'm surprised that an official source got it. Or am I the only one who finds things like this of interest??
