Can anything be > done about it? Why should offline working be such a problem? I reported a bug during the week after christmas -- the news server was down at the beginning of that week. Since then, it seems like the newsserver they're using isn't tuned to the load it receives -- I often find I lose my connection to it, or that when I initially try to connect, I can't. Just keep hitting the download button every so often, and you should get a full list at some point. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:matthew@garden.org Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org
