kudos to Jey Westerdal who spotted the icing on the cake…

If a customer chooses not to register the domain name with Network Solution they are forced to wait 4 days for Network Solutions to delete the domain name in the Free Add Grace period.

After the four day hostage period the consumer is free from the hostage situation and can register the domain somewhere else.

However Network Solutions has now exposed those domains to Domain Tasters that will snipe those domain up milliseconds after Network Solutions deletes them.

Unhappy Chappy http://www.mactales.com/chatter/unhappy-chappy/ http://www.mactales.com/chatter/unhappy-chappy/#comments Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:32:11 +0000 rich http://www.mactales.com/chatter/unhappy-chappy One of my early encounters with an OS X Mac when the ibook came out, and a colleague bought one.

He only had it a few months before it became plagued with problems and woeful after sales support.

He ended up taking the reseller (there were no Apple stores in australia at the time) to the small clams court, and got his money back.

Howard’s experiences probably put me off buying a mac for many years afterwards. While, so far, I’m still very happy with mine – Howard is not!
