MagWeb.com's New Server!

    MagWeb.com just took delivery of a honkin' big server to replace our existing server. It's not that our 4-year-old server was bad, but we were starting to run out of capacity despite multiple upgrades (remember the search engine snafu of '99? The e-mail breakdown of '00?). So, we bought a Sun 250 box to meet future demand as well as for the additional projects coming up for deployment in 3rd/4th Qtr. Our own techies Tibor and Bill (and a couple of hired Solaris guns) are drooling to convert our custom code, get everything ready, migrate data, etc. It will be a mega-multitude of speed faster than our old box (our hot backup in case of disaster).

    On the downside, expect a few things over the next month, especially after the conventions: some problems with any or all functions, delayed postings as we shift manpower and resources around, and though we will take all precautions, the occasional disaster. All the techies SAY it will be a smooth Load, Code, Plug, and Play, but after 20 years in the computer industry, I find "smooth" a relative term! MagWeb.com looks like a simple point and click web site, but we do considerable maintenance and tech support behind-the-scenes to make it appear so.

    Thanks in advance for your patience.
