Hi DocJohn,

I am reasonably sure that BT1 went down on or around July 6th.

July 6th - 20th there was no message of any kind, you got the BT ISP/server's (DNA Ltd? can't remember exactly) standard home page. So I think that means JL's own server was completely down/offline (or someone in that hacker's garage pulled out the plug to use the kettle).

July 20th he put up the first message, from OSX Server, followed by this latest one on 24th August.

So the downtime has actually been since July 6thish till....?

I hope no one is expecting to wake up on Sep 5th and find the board back up - he's left it pretty open-ended, with work still to be done after the expected arrival of the discs on the 5th. But who knows....

Perhaps he should have ordered them by carrier pigeon or cleft-stick, would have been quicker .

I must admit, the obvious lack of urgency is very perplexing.

All the best.
