Has anyone been able to run a Pocket Queries? Going camping and haven't  been 
able since the 11th and sure could use it now.

I agree, but having formally been the systems  administrator that basically 
built and ran the linux environment for  AmericanGreetings.com a number of 
years ago, and doing all that it took back  then to survive the STORM on a day 
like Valentine's Day at a greeting card  company, i have an especially keen sight 
on what it takes to run services like  this. And if you really want to talk 
about the /. affect i can definitely  describe that in pretty good detail, LOL. 
And honestly i dont get it...rather  than paying for and improving 
infrastructure for stability and good load  balancing they focus on things that dont 
necessarily improve their  environment, but rather increase the bottom line. Now, 
not that that is a bad  model for a business, but when folks are paying for 
'services' and you cant  provide them with a lot of reliability, you will begin 
to loose your paying  userbase and HURT your bottom line in the  long-term.
