ISP Issues Part 2 Internet connectivity continues to be spotty in our local area. The service provider has acknowledged that there are intermittent outages but has not stated as to when the problem will be resolved. In the meantime, we're using really old 56K modems (external, no less) from US Robotics to get online. Due to the lack of a resolution from the service provider, we are switching providers in the next few days so our telephone service might be off while we transition over. We'll post a warning before we make the change but any downtime should only last for 1 business day.

Big Mario 50cm Statue Japanese manufacturer Weccle Ats has produced another batch of the Mario 50cm polystone statue and NCS expects restock within the next 2 weeks. New orders are welcome to ship on or around December 7.
