Good morning America Online! Anybody notice the news? America Online Inc's subscriber service was shut down Monday night by an electrical problem, which the company said had a wider impact on the service than a wave of electronic-mail problems last fall. AOL spokeswoman Tricia Primrose told Reuters an electrical problem shut down the entire online service at 9:15 p.m. E.S.T., and customers were able to log onto the service again at 11:45 p.m. Electronic-mail, however, was still not available as of 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday. ''This is the first time something like this has happened in well over a year,'' Primrose said, noting that the company's much-publicised spate of electronic-mail problems last fall did not affect customers seeking AOL's content, chat, and other services. AOL did not know early Tuesday what caused the electrical problem, or when electronic-mail would be available. biz.yahoo.com Bob
