Well, then I guess he can't really call his site "altaircomputers.org"
anymore now can he?
Here's a bitch that I'd like to address: if you put up a site comemorating
old computers, please try to give it a title other than the domain name.
Like, I'd much rather see something lame and generic like "Joe Bob's
Altair Computer Website" than "altaircomputers.org". Ideally you'll be
creative: "Altair Depot" or "Altair Junction" or "Altair Clubhouse" or
"Altair Pit of Despair" or whatever.
I say this because I hate when I get a link submission for the VCF Link
Library and the site title is the URL. It doesn't look good in my
listings. Now, all of you who already have a link in the Library but
don't have a title for your website, don't get too self-conscious. If you
decide to come up with a title after reading this rant, or you were
planning to put up a website without a proper title, then good. I've made
an impact.
"altaircomputers.org" is a good case in point. It really isn't
"altaircomputers.org" anymore, is it? Now I gotta go and edit my
database.
Calling yourself anything.com or anything.org is completely passe these
days anyway.
Ok, I'm done.
