Carol, I feel like one of a few survivors alive, especially after this subject line. I could almost hear the echo and envision a path of destruction with someone standing on top of a mountain, hands around mouth, hollering "Hellloooo out there"! But, I agree. Here today, hope to be here tomorrow! Marilyn G. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol S. Subject: [PITTSBURGH] Hellloooo out there Loved the Moses story Sue. Maybe we should take a roll call of those subscribees (just made that up) to determine who is still on their feet at this site after the BadTrans and AT&T attacks. Not the genealogy type roll call, just who is still sending and receiving. Count me in as of this time, tomorrow may be a different story. Carol S. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

BlankSharon, I found more info on the following AT&T site. Based on an earlier release on Friday, apparently EXCITE wouldn't tell AT&T if it would shut down - it just did it! http://192.20.3.54/press/item/0,1354,4100,00.html Marilyn When this is all done, we will all have a different e-mail address (the last part after the "at" sign) - and I finally got everyone notified and used to my new address when I subscribed to high-speed internet two months ago!

Sharon, I'm not far behind Moses in being computer literate - I'm going by what I read on the following URL and other sites. I don't think AT&T sent out any info - I think the company was trying to negotiate with EXCITE or get its own high-speed internet up before EXCITE "pulled the plug" (allowed on Friday by a federal judge). I don't think the companies thought EXCITE would really cut off some of the large users - AT&T, Cox, etc. The following URL will explain more about why AT&T is the one that appears to be most affected. Why you are still connected, I'm not sure, except that maybe AT&T included all of the West Coast in its transition sometime while we slept Friday night - or AT&T broadband is different than the other connections?!? I thought all the high-speed connections were broadband? (As you can see, I have really crossed into an area I'm unfamiliar with!) http://home-news.excite.com/news/ap/011201/20/tech-excite-internet-access My service is called EXCITE for COX@home, because I'm on Cox Cable rather than AT&T. Friday, we received a message that our service may be interrupted and to download netzero.com prior to midnight so we could access our @home.com messages. Cox said it would pay for any charges until it initiates its own high-speed internet. So I'm not out of the clear, yet, and could lose connection. Hopefully, this made sense. Please read the article - it should help!

Sharon, AT&T in the Northwest switched subscribers to its own system almost immediately, and said it was working on putting others back online, between 2 and 10 days. AT&T's other areas, such as Pittsburgh, where many of the members are connected, weren't as fortunate. I'm on Cox in Southern Calif., and we've heard nothing since Friday, but we're still connected.

Sue, This is soooo appropriate for what is happening! Too bad those who are being bounced aren't seeing it. Maybe you can resend it once they get back online! By then, the rest of us @home.com will probably be looking for another way to subscribe - this isn't over, yet. Apparently, our cable subscribers have "worked a deal" - for now, anyway.
