Actually, I didn't change my web site name for either reason. I changed it
because my ISP decided to discontinue their web hosting service. (Or maybe
they just decided to discontinue their *free* web hosting service provided
to *home* users of their cable modem internet connectivity. They may still
provide a *for charge* web hosting service to their *business* customers.
I wouldn't know.) In any case, they "pulled the plug" on me. I now pay
for a web hosting service that I used to get free. But I will admit that
the new URL is more "cool" than the old one. :-)
