Actually Joe, he's right. .com was for commercials and .org was for
everything that didn't quite fit elsewhere.
Postel and Reynold's laid this out in RFC 920...
"Temporary
ARPA = The current ARPA-Internet hosts.
Categories
GOV = Government, any government related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
EDU = Education, any education related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
COM = Commercial, any commercial related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
MIL = Military, any military related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
ORG = Organization, any other domains meeting the second
level requirements."
