I had a registry for .org.au running on a 486 PC, though it never went
live.  This was when Australia was taking tenders for the .org.au
registry back in the day—but Chris Disspain was in charge, so the
corporate schmoozers ended up with the contract, rather than my scrappy
non-profit applicant.  We could easily have handled it, though.  Running
a registry can be amazingly cheap, if you subtract all of the
unnecessary administrative overhead that ICANN demands.
