Have I got a deal for you... provided you buy in the next 5 minutes you can have a super 486 yes thats right Aunty Joan (may I call you Joan?) a 486.

| 55275 | 2002-06-20 05:15:00 | Chris - it's a bit of a lottery. It's all dependent upon caching and how recently someone using that ISP last visited this URL. We set the TTL (time to live) for the DNS details to about 2 hours from memory, so within two hours everyone should make it here. So it might not be how good your ISP is, merely how long since someone using that ISP's DNS server last requested resolution of the PressF1 URL. Just wanted to set the record straight, since your ISP would be getting a bad rap simply on the basis that you visit PressF1 so frequently (for which we are grateful!!)

| 55277 | 2002-06-20 05:37:00 | I'm on paradise-cable i type "pressf1.co.nz" it goes to www.pressf1.co.nz and displays the main IDG page still and candy.idg.co.nz gives me the error: Error 404 Not found - file doesn't exist or is read protected [even tried multi] Lotus-Domino 5.0.8 o well i can follow email links, that's how i got here in the first place! |

| 55278 | 2002-06-20 05:42:00 | It's because the old F1 was on that server and DNS is still trying to resolve it to that server. When it doesn't find the path to F1 from there it dumps you at the defacto home page - which is /webhome.nsf. you can however type: candy.idg.co.nz NOT just candy.idg.co.nz and it will come here. |

| 55280 | 2002-06-20 05:51:00 | It's filtering through. I've just got proper URLs now. See.... (idg.net.nz) | Biggles (121) | ||
| 55281 | 2002-06-20 06:07:00 | Skite, Bruce. Anyway, Billy should have used the 180k floppies, not the 160k ones. At least he didn't use the Sinclair stringies. They were the classic write-only medium. |
