It is not case sensitive, you are correct. But it is a BIG pet peeve of
me. There's this car that is in my area with www.ArsisRecords.Com printed
on it -- its annoying seeing capitals in domains. The web should be IMO a
media that carries its own identity - (mabye I am misstating that, but I'll
try) I like the nostalgia of my experience on the web and domains aren't
the same with capitals. Its a personal thing. But once more and more
people capitalize their domains, it moves it closer and closer to the day
http://www. and .com are eliminated from web addresses and just text is
entered. Its like keywords on AOL - good concept for creating an identity
but it lacks the coolness of a full internet address. It would be
absolutely hideous if browsers did away with http://www. and .com prefixes
and suffixes and started including SPACES in addresses...
