Pizza and beer sound great :-)  If I ever collected on all of
the beers I was promised, I would have to check into the
Betty Ford Clinic ;-)

Very good.  Turning on processing of the data on allegan was
the correct thing to do then.

Ah Ha!  I never thought to look at /etc/hosts (not that it
would have done me a lot of good given that I don't have
'root' access).

I checked last night and saw that there was current data
available through the ADDE server on webcat.  I assume that
things are working correctly now.
