[WEB4LIB] Domain name lapsed

[Tripp, Tim]

This seems to be a growing trend.  This is the third instance I've run
across in the last few months where this has happened.

The previous one was also this week - a breast cancer information site for
patients has now gone the same route.  The unfortunate thing is, a
multimedia publisher we work with to create CD's of patient related cancer
information was including web links on the CD's, and is now in a quandry as
to how to deal with this - especially the packaged copies of the discs that
they've already got in stock...

Cheers,

Tim
