 Don't take away Film-Tech, even for a minute  .I think it's a tribute to Brad and the participants in Film-Tech that this site is so busy with lively discussion that we keep outgrowing the server. If there is an outage next Friday as it is switched to a new ISP, let's all be patient, knowing that Film-Tech will be back soon, better than ever! Pretty soon, Film-Tech will be larger than the 30-40 Gigabytes it now takes to store a compressed movie with the 76 Mbits/second data rates required.  Anyone selling used Pluto or QuVIS QuBit arrays? Maybe Brad can use one. ------------------

Actually, it's been 5 hosts the site has outgrown, counting the impending doom of the current one. Currently "the" site is sitting on 3 servers divided more or less equally to handle the load.Stats? Well, the only one I've checked recently is the increasing record of visitors to the main page. Last week we had a single day with 39,880 visitors. (Damn, so close to a cool 40,000!) Joe's last review (the one with Bevan-poos) got 1600 reads the first week. The forum is of course the most popular part of the site. Hundreds of manual downloads is not uncommon for a single day, but I do not remember the exact manual record off the top of my head. I'll have to check on that. Visitors are coming mostly from the US, but a huge chunk is from all around the world. Lurkers are some incredible number, to say the least. Come on everybody, register and participate! (Especially those few manufacturers who only quietly lurk here.) Everyone be sure and thank Mr. Scott Norwood, who is a major, MAJOR part of getting this final mega-server set up. I don't know what I would be doing right now if it wasn't for his help.
