Can't find this story. Can you tell me how to get to it from the main page?

I am on the Zone 200 reporting system, are you? I can't find any reports. What am I doing wrong? Let me know how to get this report and if I can't I will contact them via email. Thanks for the update!

Click on reports. Look down the page of reports until you reach this one. I saw this posted on the zone 2000 reports page myself.

Just successfully sent an e-mail from Canberra to Die Schweiz. This had to go via Sydney. So if the problem exists, it appears to be localised.

It's now 0125, our electricity grid (which doesn't use Daylight saving time) rolled over half an hour ago with no reported problems.

Farm Girl,

Go to:

Half way down the page is a link. It says Click Here

Click on the link.

Voila!!

Further to my last.... Just got the reply back from Switzerland. So comms between Australia and Switzerland are definitely not all out. In fact, as far as I can tell, they're functioning at least as well as average.

0227 and All's Well here in Canberra, Australia. Happy New Year to you all.

News Flash! Y2K Wackos So Desperate For Bad News They're Making It Up! Reports From All Over The Globe Show Nothing Happening!

Latest post from Switzerland is that the company took their servers off line without telling anyone. No y2k glitch as such. Seems to be human error at this time.

Finally got the news reports from Zone 2000 by accessing through compuserve and internet explorer--could not access through AOL for whatever reason! Many thanks to all who tried to help me solve my problem. Some problem with AOL and not providing an updated file. Guess I'll use my compuserve connection!
