>Can I easily and cheaply transfer the name to her? Yes. Just change the registration info at GoDaddy. But then she has to keep the registration paid up or it falls into the hands of cyber vultures. And GoDaddy sales will pounce on her. Signing up an innocent with GoDaddy is not doing them a favor.
>The only reason for possibly not telling her about the name or any site >based on it would be to surprise her with it, as a gift, Surprise is not such a desirable thing, especially for busy people. Might be better to break it to her gently. After all, you want a positive response. Surprise can scramble one's thoughts and lead to poor decision making/instant rejection. >I don't want to cause this person any hassle or problems or added stress or >concerns, which is why I am raising some of these possible concerns here and >will also get advice elsewhere. Definitely. >she has a University affiliation, and they are being swamped >with calls since the show. Incidentally, this University (the Med school, >actually) has about the worst, most user-unfriendly website I've ever seen, >which is how I ended up having to call and speak to someone who works with >this women at the school; simply to get basic contact info. for her and one >or two others who work there). Not uncommon for a university. Expect to find jealous colleagues trying to sink her. So you site would solve a real problem for her (but she may not know she has such a problem). Your story explains the problem and supports your solution. Rather that focusing on surprise I would focus on explaining your solution to her. Even if she goes along, it may take her a long time to realize how important it will be. A while ago I got a frantic call for assistance from someone who was going to appear on Good Morning America THE NEXT MORNING. She had a domain name, but no web site! We got the job done overnight, but it was stressful. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
