Repairfaq site

Okay, I just tried it, and there seems to be a lookup issue, since it doesn't connect to the site, but my browser then adds a .com so it goes to

which of course is a nonsense URL.

The whois on it says the registration is still valid for a few years.

Sam has been saying there have been issues of too much traffic, but while it seemed at one point to be a sudden blip, it now seems to be an ongoing issue. At least, his sig continues to be:

+Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: | Mirror Sites:

Note: These links are hopefully temporary until we can sort out the excessive traffic on Repairfaq.org.

There are mirrors, though I don't know what they are.

Maybe you can extract things by doing a websearch on what you specifically want, and grabbing the cached version of the pertinent pages from a web search engine.

There is some problem with the server at Drexel. It has nothing to do with repairfaq but the computer appears to be down or in a funny state.

Currently, any links to repairfaq.org get redirected to Drexel.

You can use the UPenn site in the meantime:

Thanks for the info-----the upenn site did the trick. Bill B
