Actually, it's "mcdonalds.com", and it was my name on the registration :) The email to ronald was hilarious, but not as funny as the email I get as nobody@nowhere.com. Josh Quittner agreed to give the domain name back to mcdonald's in exchange for their contribution of a T1 to a science magnet high school in New York, which they did, so we did. Now back to www-html, already in progress.
