Or is it just me? Man, I hope not, because the last thing I want to have to try to deal with is some weirdly specific little bug. ---

Google’s my homepage and loaded fine and I just signed in to AIM with no problems after opening this thread as well. ---

Thanks…after having played around in different browsers, I can see that whatever freak-out issue was going on with that was a browser-specific issue (still, WTF?), but AIM still hates me. Guess I’ll give the old “go to campus and hope everything is fine when I get back” method a try. Um…hm. and as I type this, I see it was just my screenname that was bothering it. Very peculiar.
