Subject: M-G: By for awhile!


Dear List,

I will be rather busy setting up a new second hand computer which might even 
go a little faster and have a little larger hard disk then the one i have at 
present. All depends on what happens when gluing it all together and getting 
it to work.

Quite a number of problems with my server here in the north. It appears that 
everything is crashing for them. One day the mail, the next FTP and Telnet 
and yesterday i could not even get to their homepage nor could anyone else 
for that matter.

Most people are really pissed off at this point. Unfortunately up here in 
the north there are not to many Internet possibilities that have a modem 
pool in the nearest city which is 55 kilometers from here. We have only two 
and both appear to be bad.

And as usual everything up here in the north has last priority. Thus it is 
in southern Sweden where 90 percent of Swedes live that one can get a decent 
connnection.
Here in the north in fact there are some people who still have not got 
electricity! Never mind and Internet server that works on a regular basis.

By the way in the process of all this shit my server crashed twice this week 
while taking home the post. So most of the mail went down the drain. So 
sorry if I missed anything written which i should have replied too.

In the middle od all this I am having discussions with the youth group that 
split from the USec! Fortunately not with Internet but snail mail and the 
telephone! And it appears too work better then my Internet connection.

Perhaps! by Friday everything will be up and running here. But with me doing 
this stuff of trimming in this new second hand computer with bits and pieces 
I honestly do not know what will come out on the other end.

See you soon! Perhaps?

Bob Malecki
