El, I have seen nothing at this point. I did see this. NW Computer Literacy seems to be finding its name a little too literal. The company, which sells geek books online, plans to change its name, Chief Executive Chris MacAskill said Thursday at the NationsBanc Montgomery Securities conference. But he refused to reveal the new moniker. What gives? Why wouldn't he tip his hand to the assembled money folks? Partly because he doesn't want to increase the number of URLs the company (CMPL) has to buy. You see, cybersquatters jump on Web addresses that are close to -- but just a letter or two off -- the URL of a heavily trafficked site. Consider that www.amazone.com is also an e-commerce site, as it www.amazom.com. MacAskill, who co-founded the company in his garage (honest), didn't say when Computer Literacy's name switch would take place. cbs.marketwatch.com
