.tv Almost got a really nice one!

I searched on some financial term at Dotster yesterday, and in the area where it shows other similar terms that are available, it listed Euro.TV!

So I tossed it into my cart, went all the way through checkout ... but wouldn't you know it, an error came up, & the transaction was canceled.

Would have been the best $29.95 I had spent in a while! ('Course, it's been reg'd for 5 years, but it was a nice fantasy for that one brief moment.)

You really thought EURO.tv would be available? :D

No, of course not! But the whole lark made me smile for a few seconds ... which is priceless.

Even if it was available you would not have been able to purchase through Dotster as it is a $1500.00 premium.

Its precisely that same unintentional delusion that you've described that some people labor under unknowingly for their entire lives.

Perhaps they are the better for it.

Sure, but Dotster had it priced at only $29.95 - that's the kind of discount I like!

In 1999 I registered, Music.co.uk and it went through fine. I took my wife out to celebrate the names that was going to make us "Millions", than 2 days later, I got an e-mail from register.com to say their was a technical error and the name was already registered.

Domains are like women, for every one you lose or don't get, there is another good one waiting to be found
