- mini.me
free.me
hit.me
pay.me
My whole take on this is summed up with this suggestion: monkeythrowingchairsatiphone.me
Just something catchy about that one...

And the site for most arrested crooks; who.me?
Seems a little late for the not so fleeting "Me" generation...

It appears that I need to ad some domains to Safari's list of approved sites. I tried a half dozen in the list using command-click. They did open in a tab or more exactly the "Safari FAILED TO LOAD" info was in each and every tab...

The .me top level domain belongs to Montenegro. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.me - but they're milking it for all it's worth! It's a mere $50/year for one of those domains.
I think I'll stick with .com, thank you very much!http://www.domain.me/index.php?page=12&news=90

I'd love to know who owned me.com and how much Apple paid to get their hands on it. I'm sure it wasn't cheap!!
Some examples of two letter registered domain names that do exist and are in use:
rr.com (RoadRunner), ts.com (Tickets - UK outfit), mm.com (Minnesota Micronet...no, not the candy!), aa.com (American Airlines, of course)
There are also a lot of two letter domains that resolve/redirect to company names - they're acronyms of the company name. Eg: ms.com resolves to morganstanley.com, rs.com to rocketsoftware.com, etc.
And there are some that go nowhere - ua.com - and darned if I can figure out who owns it. It doesn't conform to Network Solutions' Whois Policy...(you just get Google if you try going there) Bet United Airlines would have liked to have that one! Now, of course, domain names are the least of their worries!
There are also probably a few "parked" - like bb.com, which is owned by an internet parking company called Thought Convergence. Obviously they want so much for the name that nobody has been willing to pay. And there are a few that some of the big boys probably wished they'd snagged - xm.com is NOT owned by XM Satellite Radio - it's domain is xmradio.com
Anyway, it's interesting - just like 3 or 4 letter domain names, the 2 letter domain name sites run the gamut of nonexistent (but the names are owned - they're ALL owned) to full-fledged major business sites. All the two letter domain names were first registered in 1993 or 1994, with the odd exception (xa.com wasn't registered until 1997 for instance).
OK - now I'll go and do something a little more useful!!

Not sure what you thought implied not installing DU on the HD in this thread.
Have to admit all my confusion is self-induced! 
For some reason I thought the new url was going to be http://...mobile.me instead of ...me.com.

The 'author' of a thread/topic has the right (or left) to take it off topic and (maybe) back in as complicated/rambling/circuitous/disjointed/indirect a fashion as desired!
