Slightly operational; I tried several times earlier today to donate to the Red Cross via their website. I was stymied by constant errors from their MS SQL Server backend. Its sad to think of how much in donations they've missed out on, by relying on some rinky-dink software. If anyone has operational contact with the redcross website engineering folks, you might want to let them know that its time to "reboot the server". matto --matt@snark.net------------------------------------------<darwin>< The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke
