Search Again: Re: www.domain.com vs domain.com From: Micaela Carr Date: Friday, May 5, 2000 Time: 12:59:09 pm I keep hearing about Welcome, but its darn hard to find on the 'net if you are simply looking for the word "welcome". I am trying to set up a couple of virtual domains, and have had a good bit of trouble from one quarter or another. If there is anything that might help out there, I would love to know about it. Where do you get "Welcome"? TIA -------------------------------------------------------------------- Micaela M. Carr C&T Publishing, Inc. Information Tech.
