I going to withold my kudos until I find out what went wrong. For all we know, Cecil was snooping around the server room and tripped over a cable. ---

Why a duck… Unca Cece is allowed to snoop around. He IS the reason we are here ya know. That’s why we have Jerry the Tech God[sup]TM[/sup]. ---

True, but I’ve always got the impression that Cece is a raging technophobe (I mean it’s his board and he only has 100 posts!). So although he’s allowed to be in the server room, I keep picturing him touching one little button and having all the beautiful racks of equipment come tumbling down in a great Warner Bros. cartoon (Tex Avery style - not that Jones guy) crash, complete with over-the-top sound effects. ---

I second the “What happened?” just out of curiosity. Doesn;t mean I’m not going to light incense at the various Admin/Tech God altars though. 🙂 ---

Can we get this as a limited-edition lithograph from Slug? 🙂 ---

Easy. It’s getting hotter and the hamsters have to be changed more often. ---

That’s what it seemed to me. The entire thing more or less stopped working. All hail Jerry! ---
