Which reminds me about when Barnes & Noble were first creating their
online service. They wanted to use their trademarked name of
"Barnes&Noble" as their domain. Network Solutions said it wasn't
possible. Now we see the http://www.Barnes&Noble.com/ does work, however
it takes you to a Verisign site.

I'm sure Barnes & Noble would be very interested in this new development
and the illegal use of their trademark.
