   I'm not getting a connection at 396/45 in the last couple days     
   either.  :(   When was the last time you connected?

   Somehow I didn't quite even notice that!

    WvV> That also took days? ;-)   
      
   So says the fellow who wrote 240 km when he meant 240K km?  ;)   
      
   The awkwardness of the english language in translation arises.      
   Of course I meant "the days when we could watch an upload/    
   download take  over dialup.  LOL

   Maybe the odd loose screw or bolt that has sprung loose from     
   the myriad of launches over the decades will cross paths with a     
   new mission.  But then, maybe the gravity of nearby planets or     
   moons could take care of such problems.
