Alex,

It's for real! Do you remember back during the past two Presidential elections when some enterprising cyberfolk bought up the Dole, Clinton, Bush, etc., domain names, turned the sites into high comedy, much to the chagrin of at least two of the candidates, and then agreed to sell the domain names to their campaign committees for some very big bucks?

The same thing happens to big companies, too. Buying domain names for (I think) $50.00 per year and selling them to the entities that really want them can quite lucrative. I wonder what Mr. Gates will pay for that domain name? And I wonder why he does not already have it? Are you going to send e-mail to request the list of domain names available?
