I haven't received info-apple mail in 2 days and am checking to see if this goes through. >From some preliminary checking I have found that apple.com is :Host is unreachable.

You must be NEW at this! Actually, service has been FAR better than most holiday weekends of the past several years (I'll probably have a link crash this afternoon for saying so). If 'apple.com' is "unreachable" it follows that 'apple.com' (and probably lots of other places) can't reach you to deliver mail either. Fear not, some gnome will return from celebrating Winter Soltice, Yulefest, or whatever and restore whatever link has crashed during a period of 'unattended mode' operation. Then you'll get a flood of back mail including a smattering of silly "why haven't I heard from info-apple in 'k' days" messages. Note that during holiday breaks when service is slow the rate of replies to email drops and info-apple (aka comp.sys.apple) actually drops to a volume ordinary humans can keep up with).
