Re: Same Here Nitro Bob
In Response To: Jeeze Bob, ()

Of course if you hadn't asked I wouldn't have known. The web pages work fine, but the ftp is down. I hope this isn't something new they are pulling out from under us, like Newsgroups and some other things, that used to be included.

"On or around July 15, 2009 we will no longer provide access to the Usenet service. If you wish to continue accessing Usenet newsgroups, please be aware that many Usenet services are available for a subscription fee."

In case anyone is wondering, we have the free 15MB (unless that changed?) Web pages because we were Grandfathered in as original Prodigy users. Years ago, free web pages were replaced by free Geocities / Yahoo pages. Which by the way, were shut down on October 26, 2009

"January 31, 2009, your free Flickr Pro account will be changing to a free Flickr account, which has some differences and limits."

Would I be surprised, if they pulled the plug on the free web pages from our legacy contracts? No, but I figure the number of people like us is so small, we don't even make the lights blink on the servers. One photo from some new cameras can be bigger than the whole website. What's 15 megabytes going to cost them?

OK remote host is refusing connections. Maybe tomorrow?
