How's this one? Way back when the internet was starting to take off, I had my own business repairing, building, and selling personal computer systems. I had the domain "cloudcomputing.com". When I got really involved in doing union work, I didn't have time to keep my business going the way I wanted to so I gave up the domain.

EDIT: I think Dell owns it now......their company is a little bit bigger than mine was.

Do you remember the rumors about Walgreens Rite aid buyout possibility to go under? I'm talking about this huge speculation. Now I know that even such respectful sources are not always right. Where do you read information before investing anywhere?
