#3I had one as a kid. Incredibly capable machine with just a hundred bytes of RAM.
You could play real-time games on it, using GRAD-DEG-RAD switch as hardware joystick!

To illustrate its capabilities, it could find a solution to 8-queens problem in 5 hours, but the program size was only 54 bytes.

#5Perhaps off-topic, but .su is the TLD of the Soviet Union.

#6Also have a look at the MK-90 (1988), its processor is a PDP-11 on a chip and it runs DEC BASIC.

Removing a top level domain (TLD) from the DNS when people still want to use it is a no-no. There's a vibrant, active community in .su, and I hope they continue.
It's mostly completely distinct from the political question "what does it mean" regarding 2 letter top level domains, and the ISO3166 list, and the status of entities in the ICANN process. (well.. maybe not the last bit: ICANN has enough fights on its hands without trying to reclaim some namespace territory)

Most .io domains are not from the British Indian Ocean territory. Yet, many people like to use that TLD. And it's OK.

54 _bytes_? Thats astounding. I just checked a sample haiku in utf-8 and it was 72 bytes.
Gorgeous and adorable website! Even the markup is admirable.

Sure. Tuvalu made good income from .tv, There's a vibrant market in ideas out there. It's just a bit odd that it existed as a grandfathered in thing, And then the grandfathering remained after the raison d'etre ended.
