Gary North broke my site! :-)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

So I guess I've hit the big time. My HTML version of the Senate Y2K report was linked by Gary North's site. The transfer limit from my ISP was hit about 8 hours later!

Probably a coincidence, but Gary linked directly to the documents, not to my home page. It contains a link back to Gary's site, but also the phrase "not to be taken too seriously"....

Anyway, I've called the ISP and upped my quota to 400 Meg a day. This will cost me $150/mo though, so I'm only doing it for a month. If anyone would like to publish copies of the Senate documents, or my own Y2K document, I'd appreciate it.

Mike: What software did you use to do the conversion? You and it did a great job.

Michael,

What kind of ISP do you have that charges such a high rate. There are oodles out there that will give you a package for $30 to $50 per month with no bandwidth restriction.

My husband's business hosts domains on web servers for $24.95 that have 300mb space, unlimited www traffic, 3gig FTP traffic/mo., lots of multiple email options, lots of server/programming options, custom software available, yada yada yada. If you want that Y2K report to stay up and you don't want to pay an arm, a leg and it sounds like part of something else too, feel welcome to email him at staff@paradigm-sys.com for more info. Sorry, hate to put something here like an ad, but also hate to see anybody paying such an ungodly amount... -- PJ

Michael, I agree, you're being ripped off! Let us know what city you're in and I'm sure someone here can find you a much better deal. <:)=
