I thought this was funny- This morning, my sister called me from her home in Florida, asking me if I used Safari as my web-browser, and if I did, did I know it has been down for maintenance since yesterday. I told her I use Safari, hadn't used it yet this morning, but as of late last night, it worked just fine. She explained how she hadn't been able to check her mail due to the 'maintenance' being done, and couldn't get on the internet. She has a MacBook and a dot mac account. I thought maybe she didn't know about the change to dot me, instead of dot mac, but she knew about it from Apple's e-mails. She kept saying Safari was broken and how could I help her. Then it hit me. She must have her home page for Safari set to the general dot mac page, which comes up to a page saying, "down for maintenance". I asked her to type a different address in that address bar, and see if that worked. Bam! I'm a hero. Little brother fixed the internet. I explained to her how to choose a new home page and what that Mail icon is in her dock. Sometimes a student... sometimes a teacher. Thanks for letting me share. Bill M.
