Sorry about the interruption here. I should post the photo of the pieces scattered across the garage floor, but the webserver hosting the site (and others) kakked Wednesday mid-morning. Only the second time in 20 years that I have experienced a mainboard failure in a server chassis, but no matter what I replaced, it wasn't coming back. So, had to build a new server... and that took a few days to gather and purchase the parts. New one is shiny, and says IBM on the front... Anyhow, back to regular business... if you get interrupted today or tomorrow with a temporary outage, please forgive... I still have some additional software to install on it, and there might be a reboot or two. Andy Andrew Bienhaus Bring on the Cobras... she's hungry for snakemeat.

We all missed this place, but it still amazes me that even when this site is down, we still have hardly anyone visit the RTM forums?? I'm partially to blame for this. Hence why I called you to tell you "in person". A group of us made use of a site I created last year as a test. So far it worked. Or is working...BUT this is our main page. And still is MY homepage button. Anyway, I apologize to you Ziggy. I have to admit, I forgot about the RTM forums, but when I tried logging in, it kicked me out for not having the right password. That happened several times to me, so I gave up. RTM forums is a great back up for when this board has technical difficulties. '99 GSX GT35R '03 CBR 600RR
