Subject: Internet Going Down For Maintenance
I suspect that this has something to do with today being April First
called "April Fool's Day". My sister in Pittsburgh is one year oloder
today. Since she was born a couple months permature she was a pretty big
April Fool's surprise.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
