That was for the otcbb. The internet part of it (url) was completed, then the formation of the new stock and symbol took place. They are two separate things.

PART 1 OF 2 In "real life" I work as an engineer. I did some traces on millionare.com and the results are quite revealing. Basically, they are one of several hundred domains provided by a "rent a domain name" company called MSI Marketing. The following information shows some Internet traces on millionaire.com . It is divided into sections for easier reading. (Sorry for the technical detail, but it is necessary to explain what you are seeing here.) Internet diagnostic tools, used for troubleshooting network problems, were used to create these traces. In the material below, equal signs (=) are used to separate sections and asterisks () are used to contain information returned by various Internet diagnostic tools. ====================================================================== All computers on the Internet have an IP address. Since names are easier for people to remember, some Internet computers have a name to match the IP address. Here's what a DNS (Domain Name System) query shows for www.millionaire.com : **** Name: www.millionaire.com Address: 208.204.14.92 *** Using the "nslookup" program, it is possible to find all the hosts on a given domain that have both a name and an IP address. The computer name in brackets [NS1.REQUEST.NET] is the name of the computer that provided this DNS information. *** > ls millionaire.com [NS1.REQUEST.NET] millionaire.com. 208.204.14.92 ftp 208.204.14.92 www 208.204.14.92 *** As you can see from the data above, all 3 names (millionaire.com, ftp.millionaire.com, and www.millionaire.com) have the same IP address, indicating they belong to the same machine. ====================================================================== It is possible to find out, by using the "whois" program, who owns a particular network IP address. Usually, these are in blocks that belong to a particular ISP (Internet Service Provider). In this case, "whois" found the following data on host whois.arin.net : *** NETBLK-UU-208-204-14 MSI Marketing, INC. (NETBLK-UU-208-204-14) 8258 Veterans Hwy. Millersville, MD 21108 US Netname: UU-208-204-14 Netblock: 208.204.14.0 - 208.204.15.255 Coordinator: %9 Dean, Dave (DD77-ARIN) dave@REQUEST.COM %9 410 987 7600 Record last updated on 18-Oct-96. Database last updated on 29-Dec-98 16:12:08 EDT. *** So, we see that a company called MSI Marketing actually owns the IP address for www.millionaire.com. Using a custom piece of software that I wrote that prowls a range of IP addresses, I found the following hosts on that network: *** 208.204.14.1 = uu-router-208-204-14.request.net 208.204.14.2 =

PART 2 OF 2 ====================================================================== Now, let us take a look at eBay , the popular Internet auction company. Apparently, they have lots of computers, such as www.ebay.com, toys.ebay.com, baseball.ebay.com, etc. The point of this exercise is to show that eBay has extensive resources for handling electronic commerce, while millionaire.com uses an ISP that provides Web services to dozens of small businesses. The question then becomes, how can millionaire.com proclaim that it will be a huge e-commerce venture, given the limited facilities at its disposal? It's very easy to create Web pages, and there are hundreds of thousands of personal home pages on the Web, but there are not as many outfits set up to do heavy e-commerce, and millionaire.com isn't one of the big players. ***** > ls ebay.com [NS.EXODUS.NET] ebay.com. 209.24.1.221 bushmaster 216.32.120.28 gecko 216.32.120.44 chameleon 216.32.120.40 pages1 216.32.120.134 salamander 216.32.120.56 pages2 216.32.120.135 cayman 216.32.120.39 thumbnails 216.32.120.143 canebrake 216.32.120.38 toys 216.32.120.154 asp 216.32.120.26 localhost 127.0.0.1 anole 216.32.120.34 newt 209.67.27.118 search-completed 216.32.120.131 crocodile 216.32.120.21 baseball 216.32.120.149 gemstones 216.32.120.151 listings 216.32.120.142 cobra 216.32.120.27 terrapin 216.32.120.59 tegu 216.32.120.25 jewelry 216.32.120.151 arribada 209.1.128.35 games 216.32.120.54 boa 216.32.120.36 boomslang 216.32.120.37 python 216.32.120.30 secure-test 216.32.120.23 mamba 216.32.120.48 cgi 216.32.120.136 candoia 216.32.120.15 iguana 216.32.120.32 alligator 216.32.120.14 software 216.32.120.153 basketball 216.32.120.149 diamondback 216.32.120.43 timor 216.32.120.17 watches 216.32.120.151 komodo 216.32.120.47 tradingcards 216.32.120.149 cgi1 216.32.120.137 cgi2 216.32.120.138 football 216.32.120.149 porcelain 216.32.120.150 cgi3 216.32.120.139 cgi4 216.32.120.140 coralsnake 216.32.120.68 pottery 216.32.120.150 sports 216.32.120.149 cgi5 216.32.120.141 router 209.1.128.93 router 216.32.120.125 basilisk 216.32.120.35 inet-gw 216.32.120.1 buddy 216.32.120.71 puffadder 216.32.120.54 calabar 216.32.120.67 diadem 216.32.120.66 tarentola 216.32.120.20 varanus 216.32.120.19 algebra 216.32.120.31 agama 216.32.120.33 cooter 216.32.120.42 chuckwalla 216.32.120.41 trig 209.24.1.224 garter 216.32.120.11 hardun 216.32.120.46 kingsnake 216.32.120.70 whiptail 216.32.120.63 hardware 216.32.120.153 barbie 216.32.120.154 calculus 209.24.1.222 figures 216.32.120.152 uromastyx 216.32.120.18 thompson 209.24.1.221 members 216.32.120.145 turtle 216.32.120.61 milksnake 216.32.120.69 moloch 216.32.120.51 woma 216.32.120.10 pogona 216.32.120.16 hognose 216.32.120.65 keelback 216.32.120.24 gallery 216.32.120.144 gila 216.32.120.45 racerunner 216.32.120.55 velociraptor-qfe0 209.1.128.86 monitor 216.32.120.52 beaniebabies 216.32.120.154 mussurana 216.32.120.64 secure 209.1.128.35 skink 216.32.120.58 switch 216.32.120.126 figurines 216.32.120.150 mudpuppy 216.32.120.53 sungazer 216.32.120.124 dolls 216.32.120.152 nest-ssp1 216.32.120.6 pelagic 216.32.120.29 currency 216.32.120.148 nest-ssp2 216.32.120.7 anaconda 216.32.120.22 computers 216.32.120.153 viper 216.32.120.62 stamps 216.32.120.147 sidewinder 216.32.120.57 ebay-gw 209.1.128.90 ebay-gw 209.1.128.94 velociraptor 209.1.128.89 www 216.32.120.133 lair-ssp1 216.32.120.8 lair-ssp2 216.32.120.9 moccasin 216.32.120.50 search 216.32.120.130 matamata 216.32.120.49 timepieces 216.32.120.151 beanies 216.32.120.154 thornytail 216.32.120.60 cobrand 216.32.120.146 coins 216.32.120.148 pics 216.32.120.132 aboutme 216.32.120.145 pages 216.32.120.133 www.pages 216.32.120.133 *****
