Hi  all,

After all the near misses with the old FTJava server  laptop,
it's time to retire it.  The battery has long died and I have  to
update the clock hourly with a query to the NIST time server.
It'll  hang periodically and disrupt your game play.

I've purchased a new  server laptop that I'll be getting by next
weekend.  It's a Toshiba  Tecra 8100, 700 MHz, 256MB, and
12 GB hard drive.  This will greatly  improve the hardware reliability
issues with the FTJava server and it will  allow me to update the
code more rapidly.

Once I get the new laptop,  I'll be backing up the current games
and installing them on the new server,  so there will be some
server downtime.  I'll let you know when I make  the  transition.

Thanks!

Jon
