Rackshack under Denial-of-Service Attack
If you're wondering why the site is so slow in the last hour, it's because our provider, Rackshack, is getting pummeled by a DOS attack. 8O Nothing we can do but wait it out.

The DOS seems to be over...
Rackshack is pretty good all things considered - for the money, nothing can beat it, but ultimately you get what you pay for. :lol:

Good grief. Don't hackers use modern day operating systems? I thought DOS was dead.

Ed,
DOS stands for Denial of Service  not the legendary OS.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how hard it is to cram that into a 10K file. :?
How about my super subtle laughing emoticon?

Ed,
You are a master of graphics... Care to share technique and software needed to produce them?
Great job...

Ha! I am 100% pathetic when it comes to this stuff.
However, I love messing around in PaintShop Pro from www.jasc.com - $99 and that includes AnimationShop which does the animated gifs and what not. They have a free 100% functional trial. Think of it as a poor man's PhotoShop.
