Stupid computer *stomp* The T1 line went down (we think) mid day on
Friday. We could get stuff to two servers down the line from us
but then nothing. Obviously, given that the whole thing is run
by volunteers, no one wanted to fix it during a holiday. So we had no
way to contact the outside world until about an hour ago. It's still
not right though, just sort of limping along.

Now I have almost 300 posts to catch up on *grin*

Hi Jill,

It is interesting how isolated one can feel when one's internet line
is interrupted. I'm glad you are back online now.

Thrilled _and_ caught up! :) I was miffed that the connection broke
but I liked sitting back this afternoon with a beverage and catching
up.

Now if firefox would work properly. Obviously someone just fixed
the connection well enough but not all the way. I can't connect
to any website, the server keeps timing out. :P

Especially when one _is_ isolated :P We live in the middle of nowhere
and we had sub zero temps and snow, so we were basically stuck at
home, in the middle of nowhere, and no connection to the outside world
other than a land line (no cell service up here) and the direct tv
that doesn't like snow and gale force winds. We kept 'losing'
satellite one'. Fortunately we had new books and games and dvds!
