>>How can AOL have an E-mail glitch that blanks out E-mail for 10 >>million people? Don't they have more than one system to handle >>E-mail or is it all done by The-Little-Computer-That-Could >>chugging away? It could be problem with e-mail gateway; but I dunno. That wouldn't explain the log-on freeze, unless done on purpose for some related reason. And AOL has acres of Stratus fault-tolerant minis. The computers keep working, but in the wrong way. Far worse than the mini-outages is the persistent slowness of AOL mail. The mail servers are so clogged that it can take literally hours for receipt or delivery. IOW users can have zero confidence of a reasonable 'window'.
