As many of you have by now noticed, comp.binaries.mac has been silent for a couple of weeks. Well, it certainly wasn't by choice! The machine that I use to post articles has been down during this time; the hard disk containing root, /usr/spool, and my home directory died, and it took awhile to get a replacement. So, with a new drive, 'dhw68k' has returned. I'll resume posting in a few days when two weeks worth of UUCP traffic and news has been caught up with. The postings that I was making at the time, and any postings that I was preparing at the time still haven't been restored; there seems to be some problem with the incremental backups that were taken. But I'm sure that I'll find something to post. -- Roger L. Long bytebug@dhw68k.cts.com

Roger, why not recruit one or two other people to share the moderator duties and one or two other sites to serve as originating sites for sources and binaries? It's really not a good idea to depend on (the health of) just one moderator and one machine ....
