This sounds *excellent*. I've heard you can do a similar thing with

websites as well - you buy the domain, and then it's your website..for

life! The marketing opportunities for this are immense - just imagine -

you could sell people domains on the understanding that anything they

put up there has to include your banners! Excellent! You could even make

them provide links to all your promotional powerpoint material. Wow! If

only I'd thought of doing this 5 years ago - just think if

Cnet/Amazon/Dell etc had bought their domain through my company. Oh

well, I'm sure there are lots of other amazing opportunities just around

the corner...
