Hello

John wrote a post in the Users forum on the 2nd of November regarding his problems with Comcast. I think he will be back up and running soon.

All we can do is pray. It seems people have trouble with web space. I'm gonna talk to the head of the Astronomy and Physics depts. up @ UMBC and see if I can get them hooked on Celestia enough to open up a server to host these big textures or something. It's only a pipe dream, but it's a damn shame these high-res textures people bust their butts on aren't readily available. I'll see what I can do.
