Hi Martyn & List

Although I was able to come up with other alternatives very quickly, that's
because the longer the string, the easier it is.  Pure mathematics - a
30-character string with 27 possibilities for each character (alpha &
hyphen) is a real big number.

So on that basis the name's not worth much.

But not all of those possibilities make sense in English "cost-low" is not
so good as "low-cost" for example.  That also cuts out about 99% of the
random strings.

More interestingly is the effect of a "smart browser".  From my own
programming experience I'd suggest that low-cost-domain-names.com might
resolve (I suppose you can say that) better that lowcost-domainnames .com.

Anybody known anything about how "smart browsers" work?  This definitely
affects the resale value of domain names.  Think from a sales viewpoint.
Would the user type generic words into the subject-line of their browser?
Does the browser recognise spaces or hyphens?  How does it resolve?

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards
Patrick Corliss
