Subject: [TNSCOTT] Scott Co, TN Website Offline Until Wednesday

I received the following from the place which houses the Scott Co, TN
website and many others (notably, Morgan Co):

Monday morning the USGenNet server suffered a hard drive
failure. We have shipped a replacement drive to our
co-location in Idaho, and we hope to have things back up and
running by Wednesday afternoon at the very latest.

Please DO NOT attempt to contact our SysAdmin as he is very
busy with the repairs and trying to get us back online as soon
as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

I know this is inconvenient to everyone but sometimes things just
happen. Good thing they have backups (he says with crossed fingers).

I have an update ready for the Scott Co website that I tried to load
Sunday night but ran into the problem described above. I will load the
update as soon as the website comes back online. (yes, I noticed their
note says Monday and I know the problem started on Sunday.)

P.S. were you surprised to learn the Scott Co and Morgan Co websites are
hosted on servers in Idaho?
