Does any USn have access to a good, fast, Internet server which can be offered to Anu free of charge?

Well, AWADtalk is probably not housed on his server, but I don't know. Though, if he wants a faster server he could probably ask Ohio State for some type of grant. It would be for an educational purpose and he lives very close to OSU. But that's probably not plausible.

Today is one of the slowest day's since we've all experienced this problem... and even with 7% packet loss, I still load "theregister.uk" faster that I get "AWADtalk.ohio". I do have control over my LAN cache and it seems like an request overload on the AWAD server...

Could it be that all of the 2600+ members are coming home for a little "sanity" lately...

Netscape is usually the problem, not the answer

i don't know about that. most viruses thrive on the security holes offered by microsoft products

There sure are a lot of double-posts lately. Is this connected to the server problem, y'all think?

Are we R-rationed? I'm not stuttering, I'm talking about the R sign to show that we've replied to a pm. Some messages I know I've replied to (because I've got replies to my replies) don't have an R, so I'm just having to rely on memory for which ones I've already replied to and which ones I haven't.

My R's are okay so far, Bingley. The only problem I've had is slowness in screens coming up, except for the one day we couldn't access at all for a time.

I, too, just noticed the lack of r's on many of my pm's as well. Same as Bingley, I have several follw-up pm's citing previous pm.

"If I don't worry about my rs, there's no one else going to do it for me," she answers enthusiastically

Enigma suggested Ruanda for my rs. Getting a little cheeky.
