I'm so vain. I bet I think this website is about me.
I get curious at times. At one point I wanted to register spc.com, being my
initials and whatnot, but Time Magazine registered that one on July 14, 1994.
I've never bothered to ask if I could have it, but I can't imagine what
they're using it for (nothing, as I can tell).
So I decide to check out spc.org, which seems to be a better domain for my
use anyway. When I tried a few years ago, it was taken but I forgot who had
it. The current owners registered it June 7, 1997. So I might have gotten it
had I been on the ball three years ago, but I wasn't.
They [1] seem to be using though, so I can't complain there.
And that leaves spc.net, which was registered to the Special Products Company
on June 22, 1996, and they [2] seem to be using it as well.
I can't have conman.com because that is being sit upon by a domain name
speculator company, noname.com.
But the big surprise is conman.net. [3] Last time I checked (a few weeks ago)
it was being held by noname.com but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
It is now held by Conner Huff. [4]
Now, conner.com is owned by Seagate, [5] the harddrive manufacturer.
Understandable, Conner used to be a well-known harddrive manufacturer before
being bought out by Seagate. conner.org and conner.net are owned by
MailBank.com, [6] an organization that gives out email addresses. As of
today,
[email protected] [7] is available as an email address, but at
US$9.95/month, I think I'll stick with what I have.
