It might be useful if someone (everyone?) kept track of when the bad times were -- at least until the 10,000 dollar upgrade comes through. (Remember) I have been working under the assumption that there are huge pulses of info being pushed through the system at certain times of day, e.g. 9:00 Eastern Standard Time by all the heavy users. Maybe Max could tellusifthat is part of the problem, or is it just random overuse, so that people don't go on like this. Yours, Peter
