Hey all,

I just received a notice from the Ellis Island foundation, they
apologize to all for the slowness and for the inability to get on but
the response has been overwhelming even for them. According to the
notice they have been getting 27,000 hits per SECOND and already have
over 8 million hits and it hasn't even been open for a week yet.

They are working feverishly they say, to add more servers so that it
can handle more, in the meantime...just keep trying. It'll get
better.
