  Scheduled downtime: Monday, December 6, 1999
 
lugnet.com will be down for approximately three to five hours in the middle of the day on Monday, December 6, 1999, as its ISP (pair Networks, Inc.) is moving to new headquarters and the server needs to be physically relocated. More details: (URL) (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.announce)

(...) Noooooo! How will I survive without my daily dose of Lugnet?? Now I may actually have to do some... *gasp!* work at the office! Oh, Woe is me... ;) Jeff (25 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) This move will affect the NELUG web site www.nelug.org as well as it also uses pair Networks as its ISP. This also means that the Mailing list will not work nor will you be able to send E-mail to any @nelug.org addresses. Fortunately I will be (...)

(...) Who works on a Monday? That's why I'm a grad student. ;) The more...piquing (titillating?) part of Todd's notice is that he mentions the physicality of LUGNET's server. I wonder, if one went to visit, if we could "touch" LUGNET...boy, there's (...) (25 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

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...
