+GEO CHIMP Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 BOY, I was beginning to get worried!! When I was reading all that stuff in the error message(s) about "Remote Server Access," etc., I envisioned some hacker attempting to turn the GC.com server against us all, trying to crack as many machines as possible by us turning on some obscure service on our machines to get inside. WHEW!! Luckily it seemed to be much more innocent. BTW, you guys have paid your ISP bill, right??? Link to comment

I was planning a trip and kept getting the error message yesterday but today when I got home that seems to be all that I am getting. I am not even sure if I will be able to send this without it going down. Is there just too many of us now and it is over loading the system? I know, it is the sun spots. Link to comment
