ProgressTalk.com Site Downtime:
Friday, March 31st

I just wanted to let everyone know that the ProgressTalk.com website, along with Fast 4GL Systems website, will be unavailable during most of the day on Friday, March 31st.

The servers that power our databases and website will be moved from their current location at 75 Broad St in New York City across the river to the state-of-the-art SAVVIS data center in Jersey City, NJ. The new location should give the sites the same 100% uptime that we've had over the last 2 years from our current location, and also super fast Tier-1 Internet connectivity.

The sites should be available again to most users at sometime over the weekend, and should be available to almost everyone on Monday morning. This move is required because of significant (50%) rate increases at our current provider. The new location allows us to keep the cost about at the same level they are currently at now.

Also, please keep in mind that the server, collocation and bandwidth costs to keep ProgressTalk.com running are fairly significant and rising all the time. Please help keep ProgressTalk.com running by clicking here to become a sponsor today!

One last annoucement... starting hopefully sometime in April, we will be offering yourname@progresstalk.com web based email! Get a great email address that shows you are proud to be a Progress developer, and access your email from a web browser anywhere you are! The email service will include address books, sending/receiving attachments, filtering and folders, and many, many more features! The full features will only be available to sponsors, so click here to signup!
