Don't worry, GoDaddy isn't being hacked but there are reports it's
undergoing a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack by the loser group
Anonymous. A DDOS attack uses a botnot of thousands of hacked computers
(all those folks who still don't believe in using antivirus programs!) to
flood a particular "target" with repeated requests - as if all the owners of
those computers are trying to pull up and continually click-click-click
through web pages on sites hosted by GoDaddy. The result is the target site
appearing extremely slow or even unreachable by legitimate surfers.
My company has our websites hosted at GoDaddy and we were notified that the
attack may slow or make our sites unreachable. I haven't noticed any issues
but others at my company have noticed slowness. The SAC website works fine
for me currently.

I just saw a news flash that GoDaddy was hacked big time. If the SAC site
is hosted by GoDaddy, this is probably the cause. If you refresh your
browser AJ, my guess is your archived page will be deleted and you'll see
that which others are seeing when trying to access the SAC Website - nadda.

Darrell, the site works for me - at least the main web page. Although it
has August 31 as next meeting. Perhaps you are typing with the wrong
fingers or clicking the mouse with wrong hand?
