Hello, So I've followed this list for about a year now and find it to be very interesting. It's great to be able to read what's on the minds of all the intelligent folks that frequent this list. The reason I am posting is because I have been following the Microsoft outage(s) over the last several days. I just noticed that several news sources are reporting that Microsoft has stated that the problems on Thursday have to do with being hit with a denial-of-service attack. I then ran across the following: http://west-boot.mfnx.net/traffic/sjc2/sjc2-sea-oc48.html Looks like a nice spike on Tuesday. Anyway, I thought that was kind of interesting. Hope this post wasn't a waste of text :-) -Ian Ian Finlay
