impressive I must say. But then again I am so knowledgeable about computers that I am amazed when I push the button on the front and it turns on.

Thanks again for being patient with us. Just like in show business though, things seem to be running smoothly on stage, but there are lots of bumps backstage.
We again, thank Packey for working tirelessly through the night and getting us back on track so quickly. He took the bumps out of the transition and we will be ever grateful to him for that.
And, just so you don't have to think about this happening again for a long time. We have no desire, nor reason to change servers again.
We are now on one of the biggest servers in the country and have as much space here as we need. 
We are hoping that Packey's job from here on out will be to do an occasional update and backup. He did more than his share this time.

Just coasting now until the replacement beryllium sphere that we order off the Internet shows up.
Geez Don;
You gotta be careful ordering those things. I have a buddy here in Australia who wanted one because of the movie, so he orders it off Ebay and it never arrives. Unfortunately the guys in the black suits turn up at his house and ask him why he wants one. And this is serious stuff, cause the state police, and the Federalis are there and a whole other circus of law enforcement.
He never gets the sphere mind you, but he gets the lecture about how these things are used as an initiator for nuclear weapons, and so on. This mate of mine is an electronics guru and clock maker of some repute so he takes them on a tour of his clock workshop (since they've dropped by and he loves to tweak the law a little) and shows them the GPS clocks and stuff he is working with to accurise his hand built clocks (we're talking about < 20 milli-seconds per decade accuracy for his old fashioned clocks - which is cool - I'm getting one for my 50th this year) and all of the parts are ex mil-spec GPS boards from HARM, SLAM and other long distance terrain followng missles, and ex Israeli stuff he uses in his full time gig and stuff.
So you can imagine that the Federalis go nuts, and the guys in black suits go nuts, and the State Police go nuts and he shows them the import docos are all legal and so on and they go away. They don't like it but they go.
The motto of this whole story is: don't joke about the beryllium spheres.
Regards

It's a round thingy made from some stuff they found on some planet inhabited by some little creatures and one huge rock monster.
It is the main source of power on the Thermians' worship in defense of the evil Sarris and his crew. By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged.
And I can fully understand why those guys in black suites are interested in the supply chain of this product. It's not dangerous, it's just hard to find... 8-)

Lynn, I thought you knew and were just kidding, but there's a movie called, Galaxy Quest, where all this happens. It's a really funny spoof on other space movies like Star Trek. All the things I mentioned are things that are in that movie. You can find a DVD of it in Walmart for about $5.00
Re: We are now running on the new server - yellowlynn - 08-07-2013
You mean those names and stuff is for real? Wholly Tabasco!!! The only sci-fi movies I remember seeing is "Forbidden Planet" and "Jurassic Park". Most sci-fis don't interest me.

it stars Tim Allen, so that in itself should give you a clue.
Re: We are now running on the new server - yellowlynn - 08-07-2013
Thanks Don. When it stars Tim Allen, you're right, that says it all. I'll see about hitting Walmart and picking it up. I love good comedy.
