Hurricane Sandy On Collision-course with AB

For those that don't know, AB is hosted in New Jersey. So if your computer starts leaking water, it's probably come through the AB server and down the pipes to you :)

Naturally, our hosting facility is top notch, water-tight and probably a submarine... so there's unlikely to be anything to worry about.

EDIT: This post is not intended to make light of anyone who may be in trouble during this horrible event.

Me too, Baldric, apparently the Christmas store-room has been flooded already.

Me too. Maybe Christmas is cancelled on AB due to inclement weather.

Bald-duck, it takes a while to load due to Wizzard and his blooming xmas jingle.

This is terrible, but serves you right for going to America instead of staying here. Incidentally, I thought for the moment when I read the heading that it was our Sandy who was at fault.

sssh Starby, it is, but we're all too nice to say it :-)

Isn't it Sandy?

My bro-in-law was looking for someone to sabotage my youngest sister's spending spree, who is in NY with a group of female friends for a week's shopping and, no doubt, indulgements in theatre, food and drink. Well, if it's not SandyR, whoever it is has served up a beaut.

of dear, is it really going to circle right round Manhattan without touching it? A disappointment for all lovers of disaster films.

Just been watching the news and the storm looks really horrendous. Hope our Ab Editor has a storm cellar to go to.

AB is hosted in New Jersey? Is this a wind-up?

I thought that it was a British website!

DTCwordfan

It is Johnny - hosted in UK but servers in New Jersey (like a lot of UK outfits for $ reasons).

Nibble

Worry not, JB, AB was/is and will be a UK-based site, it's just more economical to "host" the servers in NJ, as the costs of IT are much lower in the US, than in the UK.

Ab Editor isn't about to sell out The Answerbank.co.uk to the US, but we are an international brethern in AB-userdom, (is this a real word), and we welcome all in FCoA.

Must be why nobody answers my telegrams crossie.

Going a bit slow. Is the hurricane affecting AB then?
