Acme's own high speed connection to the Internet backbone has been online almost 60 days. Aside from a few minor system hiccups, the transition, while laborious, has proceeded smoother than expected. Keeping our own connection online has made us more keenly aware of traffic issues, routing and outages on the Internet. During this time we've seen some major outages on the Internet as a whole, as network growth explodes. Victims have included AOL, MCI and others. Recently CNN and C|Net have given the Internet growth issues some good coverage. Check out their sites for current news on this and other Internet and technology related issues.

Our backup web hosting is handled by Midwest Data Exchange (MDEX), in Aberdeen, SD. Yes - South Dakota. MDEX is living proof that even Corn Farmers need Internet Access. :) The guys at MDEX have assisted us immensely, a thing we won't soon forget.
