Frank, I am not sure why we have this problem. I know Margaret had the same problem today. Tonight I could not go on for several hours but that was my ISP. It got fixed but now I am being disconnected constantly. It's annoying. I think they still have problems with that bonking. If it keeps up we will have to ask Jill what it is. About that search engine Yahoo. That's great that you are No.1 on there. But you are right, people have to know about it in order to see it. But things will work out in time. I will have to look at it myself. I had not noticed. I guess I have not searched lately. gg. Hm, those Asian markets are really mixed tonight quote.yahoo.com Sonny

Frank, re: "Why do you think that there is so much trouble with accessing SI at certain times??" If you were to go over to the SUNW thread and ask your question, the UNIX bigots there would say that the reliability problem with SI is because they use Windows NT servers. SI has stated that they use NT servers because they are cheaper, and, I guess, SI doesn't have a lot of money to spend on resources. As far as NT goes, it is generally accepted to be not as robust as UNIX, at least not yet. Subsequent releases of NT are supposed to help (it's not the Intel hardware, of course, but the software that is the problem). NO grins! Tony
