Talk about coincidence...  I sent a message to
Mr. Jeffery at 11:45am yesterday.  Almost 12
hours later, I lost my @Home connection (during
an install of Mandrake).  I was just about to
say that they're out to get me, but it just 
came back a few seconds ago...  (~47183 seconds
of downtime)  Ping times to Purdue are
153/180/229 right now.  (No packet loss, though!)

Hmmm...  I'm looking forward to the new "main
data controller".
