Sort of -- it looks like his domain expired a couple months ago. But he
has another one that points to the same site (don't ask how I know this):

Well, then I guess he can't really call his site "altaircomputers.org"
anymore now can he?
Here's a bitch that I'd like to address: if you put up a site comemorating
old computers, please try to give it a title other than the domain name.
Like, I'd much rather see something lame and generic like "Joe Bob's
Altair Computer Website" than "altaircomputers.org". Ideally you'll
be
creative: "Altair Depot" or "Altair Junction" or "Altair
Clubhouse" or
"Altair Pit of Despair" or whatever.
I say this because I hate when I get a link submission for the VCF Link
Library and the site title is the URL. It doesn't look good in my
listings. Now, all of you who already have a link in the Library but
don't have a title for your website, don't get too self-conscious. If you
decide to come up with a title after reading this rant, or you were
planning to put up a website without a proper title, then good. I've made
an impact.
"altaircomputers.org" is a good case in point. It really isn't
"altaircomputers.org" anymore, is it? Now I gotta go and edit my
database.
Calling yourself anything.com or anything.org is completely passe these
days anyway.
Ok, I'm done.

Not only passe`, but sure to induce anxiety attacks among both
investors and venture capitalists. :)

What, and with no fork? Your point about titles is
well taken. My website
for "www.shortwaveplanet.com" is now uncreatively entitled
"You have jut landed on the Shortwave Planet". At least
I left off the .com, eh? :)

And please, choose your top domain carefully. .com doesn't mean "web site",
it
means commercial operation. Is your website commercial? Now,
altaircomputers.com, that'd be an abomination (selling spares?).

well, maybe if it contained ChibiChibi-JarJar
pairing..<seg>
Okay, so now I'm thinking about a threesome between
ChibiChibi, Jar-Jar and
Pikachu. You bastard.

OK, Mr. Little Red Hen... Who decided to make the bread
in the first place?

Yup, we don't really need TLDs. We antique computer collectors
wouldn't want to be seen as anything less than hip and trendy.
Guess the soul patch has to go.
Gee, Sellam, a few more years of this and you're going to
be as cantankerous and/or imbecilic as those old coots
on this list that you routinely lambast. What's an old coot
but someone who rants *all the time*?
