I really don't understand the clamor to update or replace the hardware that the list server and archives run on. The list seems to run pretty well to me except for the occasional outages that are probably software-related problems that won't be cured by a speedier CPU. There was mention of archive searches timing out. If you're having this problem try narrowing down your search parameters. For example, instead of searching the entire archives, just search one year at a time. If that still times out, try searching a six month period, etc. With a little work, I've always managed to find what I was looking for in the archives. -Mark McCulley ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
