Some of you may have experienced some 'technical glitches' while
trying to use the Mi2N site. The site was in fact being
transferred to a new machine in order to accommodate the increased
traffic being experienced in recent weeks. At the same time, our
ISP (Earthlink) experience network problems which prevented most
of you from receiving yesterday's issue of B2N. We apologize for
any inconvenience you may have experienced.
On a more positive note, we've reformatted the Mi2N homepage and
improved the search functionality on the site, including the
QuickNews feature. We hope this will improve your experience in
using Mi2N.
Thank you,
Eric de Fontenay
