You're not the only one that encountered the surprise when clicking on that link. I thought for a second my cache was hosed too, or (ya, right) some miscreants actually broke into ftp.cdrom.com. I don't see anything bad or offending on that page at all (just my opinion of course), but it just seems very out of place. :-) > "Walnut Creek CDROM was founded in August 1991..."

Also known as.. uuh.. artpacks.acid.org? Checked the DNS entry and it sure enough points to wcarchive.cdrom.com. My question is, how did these guys get _lucky_ enough to have their page hosted on such a great server? :-) Hmmm.. after just now attempting to look at the page again (looked at it yesterday), I'm getting 'connection refused'. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
