*with the woodstove going full blast up here in New England* Yes, California is the base for many internet operations. Those problems out there are likely what is causing the difficulties. Ah well, California is noted for it's refusal to allow new searches for energy sources, as many of the people there are 60's folks who think energy will just appear as they need it, without considering it must come from someplace. All the old hippies probably never thought far enough ahead about where they will get gas for their Beamers and the juice to keep their hottubs and jacuzi's warm. *LOL!* Well, they put the kabosh on most new exploration, and in spite of their insistance that you can conserve your way to energy independance, now they are finding out different. *shrug* Maybe they will let George W's family come out and drill for some new oil now. *grin* Hope things get better out there, and they straighten it all out. Enjoy the day! =)
