- I called UUNET up myself on Sunday. UUNET is usually down
- until 2pm, but this Sunday it took longer. I spoke to Eric and he
- said they were performing a System Upgrade. This would explain
- things. It went back up at around 8 or 9pm. It would be nice if
- they would have announced it on uunet.general or some such.
