Our new server is up. His name is Monty and he is replacing Yamato (bye Yamato!). Monty is a dedicated quad-core 2.88GHz server with dual 300GB drives, 4GB of RAM, a Cisco firewall, and daily managed network backup. All in all a much better server than what we were on (which was no slouch either).

If there are any glitches from our move please let us know. You can post in this topic or in the User Support forum.

Thanks,
Jim

A big welcome to Monty. I am seeing a measurable increase in Armorama's responsiveness. Thought that I was on dial-up near the end days of Yamato.

Thanks Jim and the crew.

Cheers,
