Congratulations Wannabe1 for making the 1,000,000 (one millionth) post! I honestly never thought this little hobby forum I started would ever grow so large. Thanks to the hundreds of staff members, and the hundreds of thousands of members that have made it possible. You deserve all the credit. Here's to the next million!

At the command prompt type: ping 216.239.0.201

Minimum = 127ms, Maximum = 136ms, Average = 130ms

Ouch, I would expect that from Europe, not from the continental US.

Minimum = 49ms, Maximum = 52ms, Average = 50ms

Please don't forget to tell me where your at. The numbers don't mean a lot if I don't know where you're located in the world. I know where wannabe1 lives.
