David, Jim, and all,

Parts of the UW Madison campus, including the AOSS building, lost power
around 3:30 AM CST (09:30 UTC). As a result, the product queue on
unidata probably got corrupted, even though the machine is back up.

I've got a bunch of machines that didn't come up right, including
my ldm ingest machine (sunset.meteor.wisc.edu), so I'll be heading
in as soon as my kids are down for a nap.

I don't know whether the outage was specifically related to Y2K or not.

Happy 2000 everyone!

Pete
