Thanks for the first hand gem on the outage. This Internet thing is pretty cool... :-) The ability to get first hand impressions/perspectives on news events is definitely a feature... Tian'anmen Square, the SCUD missiles, Milo's (that evil @home IP-addr hoarding guy) message about the NSS at NASA Ames during the earthquake... Anyway, enough ramblings.... Back to your regularly scheduled flamefest.... dave
