Yep, I think you got it.  I just asked a French colleague of mine what she

thought it meant and 'quel cout' (Kelkoo) came across as 'what cost'.  Spot

on.  Actually the French are quite cunning at this.  The major ISP in

France is called 'Wanadoo' (another double 'o'!!) - a cracking

international brand name IMHO which linguistically does the opposite of

Kelkoo (meaning ful in French, memorable in English).
