internet East Coast Backbone network melt-down/grid-lock starting about 1PM as millions try to gain access
Congestion will get many companies thinking about improving access to their own sites. This should help companies such as LVLT and QWST which provide alternate backbones as well as the usual LU and CSCO.

If the sites have trouble they can always call Dell and get new servers in record time.

Ben,

Thanks..the little bit of trading I intended to do today has already been submitted.

Regarding the potential "traffic jam" on the Internet, I read an article a few minutes ago (CNN) saying they are anticipating the specific sites to be impacted (ie House of Congress, etc.) Since we
have a demonstration of a product scheduled today at 3pm Central Time using the Internet do you think there is any chance we could be impacted? Our location is in Austin, TX.

Thanks,

T.R.
