Ditto for <http://www.bdb.co.uk/>, which I mistakenly thought might

be the home place of British Digital Broadcasting before they changed the name

(you can find them at http://www.ondigital.co.uk if you're interested).


Anyone know what the guys who had registered

<http://www.altavista.com/> got from Digital when they

bought the domain name off them? You'd have though a company like DEC would

have had the foresight not to use a brand name for an Internet product that

had

already been registered by someone else.
