Northwest Nexus is working on getting a new machine up in its place, but they currently estimate a 10 to 12 day downtime. The upshot of this is that none of the Anarchie bookmarks that ship with my book, The Internet Starter Kit will work, since they point at a directory on that machine. Nor will you be able to retrieve TidBITS or any files from the Info-Mac mirror part of until the machine comes back up.
