My E-MAIL IS DOWN...

Post by jingle_jangle »

My e-mail provider is upgrading their servers "to better serve me" (right!). Supposedly it would not affect subscribers, and it would only take an hour or two.

We're at ten hours and counting.

If I don't answer, I will tomorrow, I suppose, as soon as service is back up. My alternate (office) e-mail is:

[email protected]

...but I won't be in my office till Friday morning anyway.

Oh, well...

Great, except you got mama and daddy swapped 'round...

Anyway, I'm back up.

Anybody got some musical numbers for that?

Maybe "Get Back (Up)"?

Jingle Jangle was a guy who lost his e-mail,

Jingle left his home somewhere outside Sheboygan,
for some California...er...weather(???)

It was just a guess...more of an iambic pentameter thing than anything else...wanna see my Poetic License?

(Besides, almost the whole universe can be said to be 'somewhere outside Sheboygan', can't it?)

Paul, maybe someone could update "Please Mr Postman" to the electronic form? What do you think?

I think Kraftwerk are your best bet. Florian, Rolf, and the guy with the monkey on his shoulder...
