.pro has a nice ring to it!

But sadly thats all there is to it, unless the holder is using it to prove their credentials, i don't see much value in a .pro domain. Infact it might put you at a disadvantage; whenever you give people your url you'd have to emphasise the ".pro" otherwise they end up typing .com.
take .tv for example, you'd think its a fairly easier extention to remember and makes sense for any TV station, but somehow TV stations still favour .com!
