Re: st: stata website down

Say Pete:

thanks for letting us know about this. I was trying to log into the 
stata server and could not this morning, California time. Now I know 
why. Frankly, I'm a bit frightened about what you described as the worm 
for servers. We have a server here and I"m wondering if we might pick it 
up. Can you let, or someone, let us know when your ISP has cleaned up 
the problem? That would be helpf ul as I can then log back into the 
stata server to do some things about stata 7.

I will be loading stata8 but I have to find the time.

Thanks, again
