Can't say about Toronto. latest word (on cnn.com) is that the niagara-mohawk grid (upstate NY and parts of canada) overloaded and went down. i lost power here twice over a period of about 15 minutes (here being on NYSEG, east of Albany NY, which is joined to Ni-Mo at the hip.) it's back up, but i suspect it'll be shaky for a while. all the burning transformers, etc., are all probably side effects of the major power outage. richard -- Richard Welty [email protected] Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
