Fourteen hours without a forum. I was seeing how long I could take it.
I wasn't doing well. _________________ <font size="1"><i>Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas.</i></font> |

This was just a technical problem that will, unfortunately, be likely to recur until some issues are resolved on the server. It doesn't impact or indicate anything about the future of the forum. |

i think its all part of a clever ploy to get us all to witness the shock and horror of a world without the cranepool forum, and to incite us into action!
your clever tricks won't work on a slacker like me!!! _________________ the first step is admitting you're a runner.

I've been posting messages on the facebook page when the forum is down
to let people know if they're working on it.

Damn, I'm afraid I'll have to get with the times and start a Facebook page. I've been resolutely clinging to my old technologies of the 20th century. No Iphones, twitter, digital cameras, or facebook for me. Soon the day will come when I will have to leave my comfort zone and embrace the technological marvels of the 21st century. _________________ If I gain the whole world

Yeah, the digital camera was a game-changer for me.
Meantime I'm getting awfully close to buying one of those smartphone thingies. _________________ We got struggle time, we got outstanding time |

You didn't buy it last year , I seem to remember a thread you threw up about which one to buy.
Surely Doc in your practice you have embraced the tech world? |

Irish, my professional practice is indeed an exception to my low tech lifestyle. My partners and I strive to keep our office on the cutting edge of professional care for our patients. In the past 4-5 years we have added a pachymeter, an OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomographer), Digital laser retinal scanner, digital anterior segment camera, corneal topoagrapher, and 18 computers to integrate it all to our practice. Needless to say, it has been a substantial investment, but we strive to provide the best possible care for our patients.
Maybe all the high end technology in the office is a contributing factor to my less than cutting edge personal existence. _________________ If I gain the whole world
