At 0530 z on June 11th a lightening bolt fried both of my computers. The repairman is coming this evening. I will update when I have more information.
In the meantime no email or web site updates.

The modem and router have been replaced. I am using my laptop.
The new computers are on order.
The view pireps page has been up-dated.
Thankfully my data was backed up on June 2nd so I'm not missing much.

Beware of getting too comfortable with your laptop or of finding a better location for computing. You'll end up with a cooling base and you might find yourself dozing off on long flights.

I can vouch for May Ann's computer working as Bill 'Skyped' me for my birthday and he came through 'fives'. And as if that wasn't surprise enough, Allan Lowson came through from California loud and clear where he was about to fly off home to Glasgow, Thanks fellas !!!
My family and various friends had been secretly planning for months to make the occasion memorable and to say they succeeded is a wild understatement. Almost 100 folk showed up from as far afield as New Zealand, Darwin and Melbourne. It was a wonderful time for me and one that I won't forget for a long, long time; if my memory holds !!!!!!!! Ed

Hi Ed,
It was a pleasure to help you celebrate!
My new Dell may arrive tomorrow. It is currently about 200 miles away near Columbus OH (I like the ability to track shipments!)
Allowing two days to get the new computer set up and files copied, I expect the news letter and feature of the month should be ready sometime on July 4th Zulu -4
