Ah, well. It works for me in Netscape, IE, and Firefox (which I
uninstalled and reinstalled to get around the Safe mode glitch). Since
I don't have Safari, I can't test that.
As for info not being a standard suffix (is that the right term?),
apparently it's a fairly recent addition to the standard ones we're
familiar with (.com, .org., .edu, etc.). A site called InterNICPublic
Information Regarding Internet Domain Name Registration Services says
on its InterNIC FAQs on New Top-Level Domains page:
".info is also fully operational and accepting live registrations.
More info on .info registration is availble at the website of the
.info registry operator, Afilias Limited, at <http://www.nic.info/>."
You can find more information at
http://www.internic.net/faqs/new-tlds.html
and on the main page,
http://www.internic.net/index.html
which is mostly links to FAQs and all sorts of other information
that's over my head.
Carol, assuming that these links will work for you because of the .net
suffix
