I just called the ConnectedDrive support line. They know the server is down, for Updates and they have no estimate of when it will be back up. At least I was able to confirm what we already suspected. Must be a windows based server LOL.

The server was running on WinXP and was recently updated. They now have to fix (and do recoding) the software to run on the new system.

Are we sure it wasn't running off of someone's laptop and that person went on vacation and took the computer with them by accident.

Exactly what I've said on the last line.

You guys should really check your facts. They were not using a server. It was a workstation running Vista in workgroup mode.

I expect more from my fellow F90 Owners.

The server was up briefly last night and into this morning. I grabbed images from my car (but it was in a dark garage). The server is down again today.

I spoke with the folks in Germany who run the service. They are using a TRS80 with a few upgrades.
