I cannot do a redirect, since I do not have access to the DNS. You could 
do that, certainly.

However, note that XP has offered to put up a place holder page. Since 
you (or I for that matter) could host this, it might be the best 
solution. We could get it up quickly, and we could customize it w/ our 
new logo and so forth.

What do you (and everyone else) think?

Cheers
David
