Jon has already reserved www.gzg.com (although there's nothing there
yet). Looks like that was a shrewd move !

I read somewhere that all two- and three-letter URLs have already gone,
and all URLs on the new domains (.tv etc) had to be three letters or
more. I suspect that the price tag attached to www.gzg.co.uk is more to
do with its rarity value (since there are no three letter URLs left)
rather than any attempt to fleece Jon personally.
