Also, Yuletide sign-ups close soon, SHOW is on tonight and I've played three songs from last night's GLEE at least a dozen times each today.

Who gets them there? Stupid people who registered them in 1996 and never bothered to switch them to somewhere else?

I got archive.nu back in 1998 and this was when they were charging ~$30US per year, which was 'average' back then. Now, those .NU domains are in $30 *Euros*, and dammit, I'm not letting go of my domain. For an example of what happens when there *isn't* price competition, I renewed a couple domains ten years ahead with the .COM $0.87/year renewals and the .NET $2.17/year, including a gig online file folder (multiple renewals, so multiple 'free' folders or you can divide the $2.17 between domain renewal and folder costs), via a fluke Godaddy coupon--a bunch of us were maxing the Godaddy renewals (10yrs is the maximum). :-) In the end, years of .COM/.NET renewals on two domains cost less than one year of the .NU domain.

As to AOL, d00d, I actually have an AOL username without numbers (i.e. redina). :-) I had AOL when it cost by hour (no unlimited at the time) on a 14.4-28.8 modem, thus, I was racking up $100+/month internet bills, which I was paying on my own in high school. I also remember Prodigy and CompuServe.
