<DaveG> Hi Bob
<DaveG> Please introduce yourself and give position.
<Bob> Made it via the web url, thanks to BillR.
<GeorgeM> Looks like the server had a glitch.
<DaveG> There seemed to have been a server issue keeping folks from logging in and I think IEEE staff did a "reset" on it...
<DaveG> to try to let more folks in (like Bob). I sent them a note and told them we were live but <G>...
<AllanL> (I'm glad it's not just me!)
<DaveG> Anyway, let's see if this helps overall. We will wait a min or two for stability ...
<DaveG> I think we have lost the "operator" status but that is not important. ...
