"Somebody tell me what the big deal is about Van Cafe and Frank loosing
their servers ? .........." I don't know but this sure read like a rant to
me. Anyway, the big deal is not the loss of free service but the lack of
notice to parties involved. The notice went out on 10/01/08 saying Hometown
AOL is closing it's doors in 30 days. Basically, get your stuff out or
you're SOL by that time. Many have irreplaceable photos and/or files
complied over the years. Like most typical amateur webpage designers few
have back-ups of those files. Hell, some like myself, did not even know how
to back-up HTML codes since AOL let us set-up the websites with services
which did not require knowledge of HMTL. That's the big deal.
