I truly cannot comprehend what it must be like to be one of the 98% of Americans who have no clue how to Register A Domain Name, build their Own Computer, or even just Install An OS on their computer...
Saturday I received snailmail from "Domain Registry Of America". They wished to send me a "courtesy letter" that my domain (one of them, they claim) would be expiring in a few months, and that switching to their Registry would allow me to enjoy their "best savings" (which was, of course, a joke compared to using many registrars which charge less than $10 a year these days, such as GKG who I use regularly).
They were cordial enough to offer me to pay 2.5 times the price I currently pay for the right to have a line of text in their database! Instead of less than $10 a year, they were willing to let me pay $25 a year!
Such a noble effort. I certainly hope that I can get that domain registered again before May 2006 when it's due to be renewed by!
