>Hi all -

>Here's the scoop on what's happening at RootsWeb.
>
>Last week we brought a new dual Pentium Pro 200 server on line to
>accommodate the Maiser lists, and Larry and Karen have been working
>to get the lists moved.
>
>They are now recreating the lists at RootsWeb as fast as they
>humanly can. [ Please, please don't write and ask them about the
>move; they are *completely* buried. ]

>We've bought the parts to upgrade users.rootsweb.com from a single
>to a dual Pentium Pro 200 configuration, and I will make that
>upgrade sometime this weekend. RootsWeb will appear to be "down"
>for 1-3 hours while the upgrade is installed.
>
>I'll try to do the down in the late evening hours, but this is
>sensitive stuff and I need to be wide awake while doing it. That
>may mean it winds up happening during the day. My apologies in
>advance.
>
>We've also bought the parts for a third new big server, and its
>purpose will be to support the indexing and searching of the
>USGenWeb Archives, the ROOTS-L Archives, the Maiser Archives, and
>other materials at RootsWeb. That machine should be coming online
>within the next two weeks.
>
>Even with all the other things going on, I should be able to start
>creating new personal and USGenWeb Websites today or tomorrow.

>While I'm apologizing for things, I'm sorry about the unforgivably
>lousy job I'm doing of answering correspondence right now -- I've
>got 2,200 messages waiting for replies. I'll get to them as time
>allows. -B
