Actually, we got new hardware for our workstations from NewEgg. The new server will be built out of parts from our old workstations.

They were P4 2.4Ghz so it should be plenty. After all, the two servers now are a P2 400 and Celeron 333.

Awesome, something I hope I can take advantage of as soon as I return to normal schedule whenever school starts back up. :D (that is, not working 90 hours worth of night shift and daytime weekends. )

We're on a different server now.

Not the new one, just a different one.

This is to facilitate migrating everything to the new one hopefully pretty soon.

Please report any issues you see in the Problems forum.
