Convenience, convenience, convenience.<BR>

Also for convenience... when on sale, I register cheap domain names ($2 - $10) and just forward them to make the URL easier for folks to remember. For example,</FONT><FONT COLOR="#52188C" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><A HREF="http://Godaddy.com"> Godaddy.com</A></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"> had .info names for $1.95 back in December.
