I'm not sure how long GPO has been serving PURLs, but if we assume this is the first failure in 10 years, then that's still 99.8% uptime, which isn't bad. If the 0.2% were spread evenly across ten years, it would hardly be noticable, but when it happens all at once, it certainly does seem worse. Keith
