Well, that was fun. It's Wednesday morning. I checked my email - nothing since Tuesday afternoon.
Then our power went out for about a minute. Came back on and I had no internet. Reset the router and modem, and it took several minutes to reach any websites at all.
So then I check my email. Got a timeout after 60 seconds trying to reach the server (gmail). Waited five minutes, tried again.
Shazam! Got 22 emails, all of which had been sent after 9pm last night.
Tried BCF again. Immediate connection to the Triumph forum. Replied to a topic, and BCF froze when I clicked Submit.
Ah - the wonders of digital communication!

Tom,
We can go back to the OSV era communications. Do you know a good group of runners?

Hey Dave - we haven't used runners in over a decade! :wink:

PS - as it's taking 30-60 seconds for me to move from one topic to another this morning, I think I'll go outside and actually get some work done. My previous "stagecoach" post took over 5 minutes after several timeouts and freezes.
After typing the post, I clicked submit at 8:50am. It didn't actually post until 9am.
Man the delays can be frustrating. I'm hitting all other websites asap now, but BCF is molasses in January again.
