[sac-board] SAC Web site - latest status

All,

It appears that the server's power supply gave up the ghost yesterday
morning.  I'll be driving down to Phoenix from Prescott early this
afternoon with a spare power supply on my way into work.  Hopefully that
will fix the problem.  If not, then I have another server that can be
pressed into service, but that will take some time to set up and
configure properly. =20
