- 11/5/2003 100,000th visitor recorded since May 23, 2000 when the counter was added. An estimated 1000 could have been here in the first month this site was active.
- 10/13/2003 Review of a site caused Netscape to lock up. After rebooting, the disk on the small system got crosslinked files on drive C and corrupted Netscape. It was causing the connection to crash just as Netscape was brought up. Scandisk deleted the crosslinked space and 16 bit Netscape 4.08 was reinstalled with no problems. Lost clusters were also reclaimed on drive G which relieved other problems, since that area was used for Windows swap space. The home page (Google) now comes up correctly.

- 5/18/2003 FeaturePrice.Com is self destructing and all services are suspended. I transferred the ISP hosting flag to iPowerweb.com. I changed the nameservers at godaddy.com where tx4.us is registered. Since FTP was working, I spent 3 days uploading 95 megabytes worth of files and associated graphics. Since I saw a default index this morning, I simply had to delete it and my site was up at the new location.
