archermoo Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The link doesn't work... Huh. It works for me. Even the one in Dr. A's quote. It was just a link to the product page on http://www.newegg.com for the SanDisk UltraII 8GB CompactFlash card. $665.53 plus $4.81 for shipping.

archermoo Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER URL isn't resolving. I'm getting everywhere else. Maybe it is pulling from your cache? I'm going to start troubleshooting... Cleared cache, still came up (and took the expected slight bit of extra time to reload everything). And my assumption was that Dr. A got there too, since he noticed the limit 2 bit. Any error message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if a router is down somewhere.[/quote'] That would be my guess, or a general problem with your ISPs routing. They happen. Either that or the backhoes are on the loose!!! You know why SysAdmins always carry a piece of fibre optic cable with them whereever they go? If they ever get lost, they just bury it, wait a few minutes, and then ask the backhoe driver for directions. Ba dump, bump... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMiller Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Weather reports from the Mississippi area say things are really harsh. I'm betting that has something to do with it. Thanks for the sympathy. I troubleshoot all day long at work, and it would be nice to not have to do it at home too.

RPMiller Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Oh Archermoo and Doc, I finally did get to the site to check out the flash card. I'm betting next year they'll have a 10 gig and the 8 will drop in price so I may just have to hold out. That is a nice chunk of storage to be able to carry around.

Dr. Anomaly Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That is a nice chunk of storage to be able to carry around. It sure is. Tempting as it is, though, the price puts it rather out of my range at the moment. As you say, doubtless the price will come down -- and who knows? By then, I may even be able to afford it!
