Great news, eh?
No big deal, as I see it. The only reason the AOL outage made the headlines is because of market share. My own local ISP goes out at times, sometimes for more than a day. And judging by the comments of others here (e.g, "my connection has been flaky," "My ISP was down for the past few days," "Could someone mail me the last 3 days worth of traffic?"), I suspect this is common. Market share is what generates headlines. --Tim May Boycott "Big Brother Inside" software!
