And I'm pretty suspicious that some hacker hijacked the RIC site. Get a load of this. What gives?

Most likely the Rickenbacker system administrator and/or webmaster.

ive had that too.

I was getting that weird login (username/password) pop up earlier today.

What operating system is that?

I'm not getting that login prompt at the moment, but I have gotten it before.

Have you tried logging in when prompted, using your username and password, as usual?

Not knowing what the heck was going on, I didn't dare, Paul. For all I knew, some hacker may have been phishing. It seems as though everything was returned to rights in a few moments. Must have been some sort of site maintainance going on, I suppose.

Entering user name/password doesn't work, unless you're a RIC employee. This screen has happened before, and it is RIC Administrative, not a hacker.

They were doing admin work on the site, no doubt. This has happened in the past and when I email about it, that was the answer I got.

Are you still using Windows 95? Wowzer

I think they've just added your guitar to the "Models Just Shipped" list Jim and they want it to be a surprise for you! A reward to the most stoic, patient man on the RRF.

Stoic? Patient?

I only post here while under the influence of my meds.
