I should be getting used to this... whenever there is a world crisis, something goes wrong with the computers that are used by Rumor Mill News.

Today, at 7AM California time, ALL three of my computers stopped working. From 4am to 7am they were working fine. I was surfing the Internet and gathering up the stories I was going to use to update today's page. (fortunately I did get most of them sent to RMNews Updates before the computers stopped working)

I have spent four hours running Norton, trying to figure out what is wrong. There is nothing wrong with my computers! At least according to Norton!

Maybe it is the routers in California. Not only couldn't I pull up Rumor Mill News, I couldn't pull up Drudge who is also located in California.

My problem is everthing takes so long to load that it is impossible to do a new front page and update things. This not only happens when I am connected to the Internet, it happens when I am NOT connected. This is the reason I thought something had happened to my computers. Maybe I got hit with a microwave.

Maybe someone doesn't like all the information my sources have been sending me, that I would have posted if I could open my E-mail!

In case I forgot to mention it... I can't open my email either! I can check NEW email from the web, but I can't open the email that is already in my Outlook Express, and this is the email that has the information I want to share with you!!

Needless to say, I have been having some interesting discussions with people regarding the China incident.

I will try to get things fixed when I get home from work tonight.
