Found this on the web this AM. It is more poignant than the now-normal dot.com meltdown in what Launchbase is transitioning to: Not only old economy, but transportation (RVs) over communication And high energy consumption, South Texas based, RVs at that. Here's the blurb: "Due to unforeseen changes in the Internet marketplace, Launchbase Network has cease to be sufficiently profitable to justify its continued existence. We have therefore regretfully decided to undergo a transition to a much more specific focus -- namely recreational vehicles. As a result, all of the Launchbase Network domain names unrelated to recreatoinal vehicles, travel or South Texas are being offered for sale."
