I've noticed it also. I thought it was my cheap computer and dial up internet server.

i think it something with database, because server responses to ping are good.

If you're running Windoze:

open a command window (Start->Run then type 'cmd' w/o quotes and press OK)

type 'ping ' (w/o quotes) and press enter

will ping with 4 packets and display round-trip time for response

if you want to see how your communications (packets) hop from one server to another all over the 'Net, do the same as above, but substitute 'tracert' for 'ping'

My mouse has 5 buttons. My trackball has 3 counting the scroll wheel.
You Mac people do know about scroll wheels, right?

Personally, i prefer FreeBSD so i prepare kernel only once and then i just use it.
And, in servers i don't need to look for a critical updates every other day :-)

The host is aware and working on it.

I edited G8R's post as while they were trouble-shooting... the additional 1000's of ping requests weren't helping things.

This has been an issue for the past week or so, and it's hard to isolate because it is intermittent.

LOL, Y2K funded the down payment on my house!

Jeff, for a good time, go to your Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad, and turn on "For secondary clicks, place two fingers on the trackpad then click the button" .. if you're used to two-finger scrolling this will become 2nd nature in no time. Context-sensitive menus without removing your fingers from the trackpad, who needs a 2nd button??? :)

i think this one might be more connected to a Fender buying KMC than to Y2K.
I think server still cannot live with it and spends time reading info about transaction over and over again
