David,

    Do they own it?  Or did they create it?

    I've tried to go to their Web site, but it is running very slowly.  I've
heard that the traffic generated on the Internet through blogs and other
means about Steve's death has been incredible.  I guess everyone is hitting
their Website over and over again.  I guess they are hitting his Web site
over and over again.

    Regards,


                                                        Fred
