I could live with eating the $50 per year two years from now....
it's the initial $100 for the first 2 years that my wife is going
to balk at. ;) I'll just get the name, list me as the billing
contact and see what happens.

I'd have the 'address' www.dakota-truck.net come to my machine and be
redirected to the current DML home page. The same thing would
happen with www.dakota-truck.net/mclark... but it would be redirected
to a different web site. So... the www.dakota-truck.net web server
would really just be a 'redirector' to other web pages and not
have the web pages itself. All I need to do is come up with $1500
per month and I can get a T1 line. Piece-o-cake. ;)
