Ahh, I remember that (now) too.  I'm aware that this DIS ain't Dat
(sorry, I couldn't resist).  If I'd have remembered the mis-identification
last time around, I would have said something this time to hopefully
preempt any flames directed your way.

If its any consolation, "mpeix.com" is still up for grabs :)

Regards,
Michael

And before I get flamed ...

DIS.COM is in no way affiliated with DIS-RESEARCH.COM.

Last time this came up, I took a bunch of misdirected heat. I
wish I actually owned the HP3000.COM domain, but I don't.
