Domain Names...Quad Machines

Internic registers domain names rs.internic.net the fee is $70 up front for two years and then $35 per year after that.

That gives you rights to a name, nothing else.

You can see if a domain name is available on this page.
rs.internic.net

If you want more. For example website forwarding and email forwarding you can use a service like Name Secure namesecure.com
They will do the domain name registration for you (you pay the $70 as above) In addition you pay $50 the first year and $25 per year after that.

For example: If you have a home page with your Internet Service Provider ( ISP) and you have website forwarding, anyone that types your domain name will be sent to your home page.
for example zeuspaul.com or zeuspaul.com

email forwarding is almost the same. If email is sent to your domain it will be forwarded to the email address of your choice.

If you want more.

You can have your domain name appear in someone's browser like this webquad.com if you sign up with a web hosting service like adgraphix. adgrafix.com

Their entry level web page is $79 initial setup fee and $39 per month for 15 MB of space and a lot of bandwidth ( GB a day I think) I believe The $79 fee includes registering a domain name for you but that has to be verified.

Please ask questions, I will clarify if possible.

I do not have a full grasp of your computer needs. My understanding is you want a communication machine. I also understand that you want a secure machine, something that no one can get into without authorization. Is my understanding correct?

As Street Walker indicated Voice Recognition software is just now becoming an alternate solution to typing. Let us know if this is something we should look further into. Spell checking would be an option if you dictated your posts into word and then cut and pasted to the SI edit window.

There is a Voice Recognition thread #Subject-20155 at SI but feel free to post any questions on this thread as well.
