   I apologize for that and for not letting the list know the current 
state of the Archive.  Unfortunately the university IT dept shut off http 
access to the machine when the Red Code virus was hot, not realizing 
that it is a Linux box.  ;)  Anyhoo, they refused to turn it back on 
until some other issues were dealt with (such as local caching, new 
site name, etc.).
   It's taken me a good week and a half to get things sorted out and 
it's had me furious because the machine is primarily my business's web 
server!  But it is now back up and running at the following address:

   http://www.physicsenterprises.andrews.edu/diy_archive

   It will be available here for the meantime until I can find a 
suitable hosting service.  I'm dedicated to keeping the Archive 
online, so any lapse in service is merely a Michigan pothole in the 
internet highway!  ;)

   Cheers,

   Tony
