9/27/98 Status and upcoming events.

The museum will soon be leaving Teleport and will only be accessible at www.hpmuseum.org. This was due to stability problems at Teleport followed by their insistence that a "one time only $50 fee" for having a domain name on Teleport must now be (re)paid once per month. Most of my spare time has been spent finding a new provider and getting set up so I must apologize for getting behind on email requests.
Teleport also added a new fee to run scripts so as of 9/27/98, the museum search and forum features are now running on a new machine. It's providing better performance than the old Teleport machines but with the web site now being partly redirected to a different machine, there could be glitches. Please let me know.
Added ad categories and an easy way to delete individual ads.
The rest of my spare time is currently spent scanning application pacs for the museum CD. Watch for an announcement soon.
