Very Briefly... thought that I would interject/contribute a tid-bit on outages elsewhere -- than what seems to be known.

Thanks for the Hawaii update. As one person said, the backhoes are trying to make the end-of-month quota. Just to spread this out over a few more carriers. A person reported an OC-48 outage hit Los Angeles early this morning (gte?), so it looks like both coasts are getting hit. Today's animal incident report. A deer got tangled in some power cables at a microwave relay station outside of Colorado Springs(us west) on April 27 disrupting emergency phone service for eight hours. Why does the animal kingdom hate US West? Last year's gopher took out a US West facility too. Today's money request. We know who is the father of the Internet, who should be memorialized as the father of modern computer science? http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_330000/330376.stm Anyone know where I can get a replacement tape for my Turing machine? -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
