PS.
It was brought to my attention by Cobraboy that the "Free DSS!" post
looked like an ad by me. It wasn't, I just thought it was a good deal that
you guys might be interested in. Myself or my company (Creative Systems)
have no affiliation with anything DSS related. I've been on FoRK for a few
months but don't post much. I apologize for any improper Forkness...JB

One VAR trying to access the SAIC site on May 14 said he was unable to do

the following message: Domain Name:SAIC.COM; Domain Status: On Hold.
