That one caught me out a while ago - what you do is goto that page, click on findit, and you see the following sentence... (Note: If you were expecting to see another company's web site, but got SuperNet's web site instead, click here for a possible explanation.) doing that gets you this - (excerpt only) 1) The URL you entered was not complete. If the web for which you are searching is hosted on one of our shared-web machines, then omitting any required part of their URL (for example, going to http://www.domain.com/ when the correct URL was really something like http://www.domain.com/domain/ or http://www.domain.com/~user) could send you to our home page, since in this case their web site may in fact be hosted on the same machine as our web page. (They would need to upgrade their web site to one of our Virtual Domain hosting services for the previous simpler URL to work as expected.) Now we're getting somewhere! Try - http://www.ramtron.com/ramtron/ It worked for me - I just tried it again. > Some say there is no magic but, all things begin with thought then it becomes > academic, then some poor slob works out a practical way to implement all that > theory, this is called Engineering - for most people another form of magic. > Massen Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Niven or Asimov - I think it was the former.
