    FreeNetnames comes up trumps! —Huw Millington
   It seems almost too good to be true, but by signing up for freenetnames.co.uk internet access you do indeed get a .co.uk or org.uk domain name for free! There are a few conditions (log on every 90 days, no porn on your site, that sort of thing) but (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
