Thanks!

What brand of HD? I am thinking of buying a new box, and want to know what to avoid.
I thot the outtage was perhaps something personal and I was being blocked based on IP address or a cookie or something. I tried to think if I posted anything to piss somebody off (lately). I was about to clean my cookies when suddenly a dancing penguin appeared on the site in a kind of "standby" mode.
Glad to know it is due to metalic hardware and not biological hardware (or grayware).
