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.

There are ways to pull that off without having the own the domain. Just have to perform some trickery with google and the keywords. Lots of tutorials online about it.
