(...) Actually I'm sure I won't be the first to point out that 100 years/6 hours = a very BIG number. Not allowing for leap years I make it 146 000. Perhaps you mean the other way round? <g> Simon (URL) (24 years ago, 6-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Well they still have issues. Right now, over a network, access to Lugnet is slower than it usually is for me when I am over dialup. Very unscientific but I have to get back to class now...
