If you noticed (or not) the list is down:
The eNews from the Pantera Club of Northern California is a periodic report on the news and events of interest to the PCNC in the coming weeks.
The following is a note from Dave Bell who runs the on-line DeTomaso mailing list forum.
You may or may not have noticed that the Detomaso List server has been off-line since this afternoon sometime (Monday, Feb. 12). I just got off the phone with Andy Poling who filled me in on the problem and its resolution.
Apparently the internal hard drive for the Detomaso List's dedicated server suffered a total failure (head crash). The repair will not be easy or quick, as after the drive has been physically replaced and started, all of the List software and Archives will have to be reinstalled and then configured from scratch. The Detomaso archives were stored on the same crashed hard drive - but luckily in a different partition from the system software that got nuked. Fortunately, Andy thinks (though isn't completely positive) that the Archives are probably recoverable. The process of replacing the disk drive, reloading the List software and Archives, configuring, and then restarting the List will take three or four days at a minimum. It could take as long as a week. The Detomaso List will be completely inoperative during that time.
I will be out of pocket (traveling internationally) for the next several days and in my absence John Taphorn will be following the repairs. Also, I will send you a notification email when the List is back in operation.
