I'm fine. According to CNN and local newspapers, it's limited to York City, other parts of Northeast, Cleveland, Detroit, Albany, and Toronto and Ottawa in Canada.

Maybe one of the huge overland lines that go from Canada to NYC came down? [Big Grin]

The Niagara/Mohawk power grid got overloaded and shut down, thus nothing serious.

good quess is that it's indeed DoS.
why?
all those XP machines going on and off caused too much overhead on your under measured power supply.

that's all.

Hehee, thats what it felt like ...

Les, you would already know that our premier has declared a "state of emergency" here. Basically it means that we're all supposed to stay home and not go to work. So downtown Toronto looks pretty much closed-down. Guess I got nothing to do today 'cept surf KORG and maybe do some kixscripting ... heheee ....

Seriously, briefly chatted with Rod earlier, he is having his own issues with the KFO ISP but would be nice to get an update status from Rod himself, i don't think it will be a good news story but will let Rod explain [Wink]
