That is, until the story got posted on http://slashdot.org and they got hit by the "Slashdot Effect". They now have a message posted on their website: -------- Formal announcement from Domains on Disc. Tuesday, September 22nd, 1998 4:10PM PDT Due to the overwhelming amount of e-mail that we have received, Domains on Disc has decided to indefinitely suspend the sale of this product. It has never been our intention to have this product used as source for Unsolicited Commercial E-mail To this date, no CD's have been pressed or shipped. We regret any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please feel free to contact us, should you have any questions. Sincerely, Domains on Disc -- Chris Carrie <[email protected]> Inert Network
