For the first time, my 45 day old 466MHz etower was unable to access web sites on MSN. I notified MSN member services by email about the problem, immediately went back to access this forum and connected with no trouble.

Helium: Thanks for the info. But, I got tired of waiting for the data to load. I saw on a thread concerning gold that there has been an unusually amount of global internet traffic. Maybe that explains these minor inconveniences. In light of all of the major problems in the world, I guess my complaints about a little technological nick is kinda foolish. Thanks everybody.
