okay - I've taken a look three times - and had to reboot my computer three times - all it displays is a blank white screen. should there be something else there?

Hmmm... yes, there should be a home page for the site, with a search feature for lyrics and a blurb about the forum and the "community" they have there. Basically, the forum allows the opportunity to post a song's lyrics and to comment on what any posted song means to you. The link I posted works for me, but I'll post it again to be on the safe side:

P.S. – Among the questions on their FAQ page is "What is the meaning of life?" :^)

42 is the meaning of everything. The meaning of life is 21.

Just been there and think it's a gas site. I've bookmarked it - thanks for the heads-up, Sharon!

They do warn, however, that their server is going to be down for a short while to do some necessary updating. Their message reads:

"New server udpate: the new server is currently being configured and should be online soon. This message is a warning that the server will be going down sometime soon. Updates are going to be performed and they require that the server go offline for a short period. I am not sure of the exact time it will happen, but sometime in the next couple of days. Thanks for your cooperation."

All the best, Bonnie (who already spends FAR too much time reading on the net when she should be working)

42 is the number from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") could be derived.
For those interested in the derivation of 42

For those not interested ...... read no futher ;>]

This webside has disappeared into the Liffy without trace.

Which? SongMeanings or Mudcat? *G*

MMario had problems linking to SongMeanings. You too, Dicho? He seemed to think it was a Netscape browser problem. I'm having no problems accessing it with IE, though it's a bit slow.

I thought 42 was the answer to life, the universe and everything; meaning was never mentioned.

I tried each of the two link postings. Blank white screen, "document done", and no way to get anywhere except by rebooting.

Well, I don't have to reboot... What I do have to do after the blank screen, is Ctrl-Alt-Delete to open the "Close Program" dialogue and "End Task" on my browser...

I'm a Netscape man, if that helps at all...
