I am sure that downloading It had NOTHING to do with Caltech's Gumby central computer diving into a core-dumping frenzy, claiming it hadn't been updated for 199,273 hours - then killing its own daemon three times and outright vanishing from EtherNet existence, requiring its database to be rebuilt & repatched from scratch. There was certainly NO connection with the past week of my being virtually Incommunicado (which is pretty tasty with a twist of lemon), with every NewsGroup including My OWN blocked to my access and posting anywhere, and My Name still being phantom-logged on and sitting in ghostly idleness throughout that time... ALL of this occuring immediately after I downloaded the MEGA-SIG.. "COINCIDENCE" happens. ;D And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself And it's all obviously been fixed, since I'm posting this myself Plus...
