My God, you're right Apoc.END.

Why does my browser matter. I've used IE 4.01, Netscape 4.05, and Lynx 2.8 and www.alphacentari.com works for all of them.

I can't say that I am surprised that both alphacentari.com *and* alphacentauri.com works. I am even glad. And I can tell you why they did it, two reasons:
1)Not everyone can spell alpha centauri off the top of their head, so it could make it difficult for John or Jane Public to get here easily.
2)If someone doesn't like the game, the company, or is just a smart-ass, they cna make a parady site, preying on those who spell it wrong. I have seen this before, like whitehouse.gov and whitehouse.com.
Just my input. Some of you may have known this, but I doubt all, so for those who didn't, there you go. :)

Ugg, my last message sounded a little harsh. Sorry if I ticked anyone off. Also, I appologize for some of my spelling.

Reminds me of the time last year when I was doing a report on the white house, & I didnt know it was whitehouse.gov so I typed in whitehouse.com with my dad there. Anyone familiar with whitehouse.com will know what an akword(sp? when IM not in school I forget how to spell evrothong.) situation I would have had wit my dad there.END.

To Yo:
Oh man, I laughed me a** off when I heard that! I know the exact feeling you are speaking of. Now I wish I could remember some of the others I had found or read about. A few were absolutely hilarious.

I guess I know what you mean. It can be a bit dodgy when sites set up with very similar names. oh well
