on the 05th of Aug 1986, when millions of domains were still available, BELL-ATL.COM was registered... then there was DATA-IO.COM.... funny how people registered hyphenated domains then when alternatives were there. I suppose that it looked more natural at the time (since cyber culture didn't really exist). Generally, I would say stick to non-hyphenated domains (although different theories exist, I really don't see why a search engine would need a hyphen to identify keywords).
