Domain registration doesn't necessarily mean hosting.

easyDNS is the registrar. The IP Address for www.bsrc.com is 108.34.197.34, which is a Verizon FIOS address.
www.bsrc.com canonical name = bsrc.com.
Name: bsrc.com
Address: 108.34.197.34

Reverse gets:
> 108.34.197.34
34.197.34.108.in-addr.arpa name = static-108-34-197-34.prvdri.fios.verizon.net.

Ahhh, okay. I stand corrected. Yes, then the desktop theory is quite plausible. Thanks, Allouette .

The last version that was up was just a trivially simple page with a countdown timer. The version where they had multiple tabs, maps, solicited for (probably unregistered) investments was the high point of their intellectual property.

It appears this year's "Polar Express" will run via the G&W (P&W, I believe).. So it looks like BSRC is out on this..

It'd be great if someone could rescue what is left of 2027 and restore it. If there's anything left.

I thought the 2027 was peacefully rusting away in Millbury..
This is Google Earth's view, image from this year and that sure looks like it..
