Would appreciate your prayers, good thoughts for my 42 year old daughter. She went to the ER the past two days in a row with a racing heart. She was there all night last night. They did lots of tests and she has an appointment with a cardiologist next month. They told her she was critcally low on potassium. I'm taking her some tomorrow.

Indeed.

I would think that would have shown before an ER visit.
Can't see a specialist any sooner than 3 weeks?
Person have issues before then!

How rude, B then.

No, she had never had any problems before then.

Glad to see You, Angie; putting Your Daughter on my virtual candle healing list 

Thanks!

Some Sad News was posted on one of the Imaging Groups Boardhost site, and I hope the ccp shows up:

"For almost 22 years my wife, Kari, and I have been blessed to have you as part of our WTV Zone family. Over these past years we experienced the full gamut of emotions, from joy as our family grew and played together on our WebTV units, to times of terror as we fought off hackers, as well as the satisfaction of lasting over 20 years in a highly competitive and cutthroat business environment.

We have said for many years that we would continue to provide our service to you as long as we could possibly do so. It hurts both of us to the core to have to tell you that it seems we have reached the end of that road.

The WTV Zone server experienced a hard crash on Friday the 18th. Cascading hardware failures took out the server, and it seems that it is damaged beyond repair. We have backup copies of your files, but the file manager and the server operating system are toast. It also appears that we may have lost some of the more recent backup files, but we are still looking into that.

For some time now, our membership base has been slowly dwindling. A once thriving community has been reduced to less than 5% of our original accounts, which means we have been subsidizing the expense of operating and maintaining the server out of our own pockets. With the economic downturn of the last several years, we are no longer able do that, let alone pay the unexpected expense of building a brand new server.

Unfortunately we are not in a financial position to offer refunds for time left on your subscription, which hurts us even more than the server crash. What we can do is provide you with a copy of your files for you to keep on your computer or move to a new home. Right now, we are working on making everyone's files available, but there will not be any file manager access.
 
At this point, the options will be for us to burn your files onto a CD and mail it to you, or to provide you with the url for a zip file that you can download. We will no longer be accepting any renewal payments, and no new reminders will be sent out. We ask that you please reply to this email to let us know what you would like us to do with your files, if you do not already have your own backup copies. If you would like us to mail them to you on a CD, please provide us with your mailing address.

Our hearts are heavy as this chapter in our lives closes. We are truly grateful for your support over the years, and we hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive us. We have cherished the time we've spent with our WTV-Zone family, and wish you all the best that life has to offer in the future.

Sincerely,

Larry and Kari Bumeder" 

I'm surprised anyone was still using web tv. My unit has been nothing but a paperweight for a long time now.
