WOW nice, might get a few tech names

aww · 02-15-2004, 01:54 AM

Just to update this, apparently there wasn't complete info in that press release.

The real "open to the public" date is just after the sunrise period,
Official Launch 12:00 noon on 31 May 2004

Well, $32USD isn't so bad, I guess. Much better than .tm's for $100/yr, mandatory 10 year commitment!

Bill1 · 02-16-2004, 09:27 AM

any value in these?

I would assume not, but I am having trouble finding out either way.
