Greetings, group.

This is a notice that First Rays will be undergoing some downtime in the
near future.

I will be undergoing some surgery on Monday, March 3rd that will prevent me
from conducting business for a week or two, so if you need something, order
ASAP so I can get it out before then.

During that time period, we will also transfer the site to a larger, faster
server, and that will temporarily take the website offline while the new
server ID's get propagated about the 'net.

Thanks for your patience during all of this, and have a great day.

Wow! What a nice guy to tell us in advance that you'll be away. Best
wishes for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. I hope you'll feel
well enough to still come here and chat. Or lurk. You know you can't live
without us!

Well, obviously the first word to jump out of your post is "surgery", Ray.

I'm sure we'll all be following Wendy's lead and *holding thumbs*.
