Yea, we would like to have to old domain only because it would be nice to pull us up in Google if someone is looking for the old company started in 1947 by name. We ain't paying a big premium for it. I don't think we will get much of anything from that web address. We offered to buy it and the phone number from the idiot son that runs the company. He was not interested in selling it, and he destroyed perfectly good office equipment we had offered to buy just so we would have to buy new. The good news for us, is I bought a new color laser printer-fax-scanner for less that we were going to offer for the old b&w unit.

Back in the stone ages before Google, I would find a web site by guessing a domain name. I was showing a customer how that works and she said how about a hard drive for my computer. So I typed in Harddrive.com. It was nothing to do with computers and was a much different hard driving right on the opening screen. It was great when the first search engines popped up.

Out of curiosity I just typed in Harddrive.com. It is slow to come up, but it really for computer hard drives now.
