Netscape’s new $10/mo. dial-up service has teamed up with City Year, a non-profit organization promoting national service, to auction off 200 internet accounts, including an early hold on selected coveted short email addresses. The problem is the names that you can bid on: Barbie, Chas, Willy, Sue, and of course Nate are all listed, but when it comes to names from different cutlures that make up our melting pot there are only two: Luis and Juan. Is there a Satish, Adanna, Huong or Amed? Nope. Sorry.
