That was few days ago! I lost POV all day sunday. I keep getting 'Time Out'
messages. Usually when I load POV it's on the screen before you know it. But
yesterday it took a few minutes before the error happen. I have Firefox and
there's a box at the bottom of the screen that show the website address that is
trying to load. Pov address was there most of the time then something popped up
like 'trying to load data from It.. .com'. It didn't stay on long enough for me
to copy it down. So I thinking that the trouble is some where between here and
there. At least I'm here today:)
