Hi Sterling,

Fortunately, we've got an 8" S-C out with a solar filter
here at work, so I've been able to follow the progress of
the transit just fine outdoors. I was just hoping to see
the greater detail afforded by a "big" scope... --Rob

Hi,

    I suspect overwhelmed servers. I got several
"Server Not Available" messages. But the rest of
the sites I tried just rolled over and died.
    I guess it's nice that more people than one might
have thought wanted to watch a live celestial event.
I hope the servers didn't just fail and somebody got
to see it.
