I was all excited to get on the European library site... holding my breath I type the URL and press ENTER...and ooopppsss...

Site has been overwhelmed with over 10 million hits per hour on first day...
so they had to shut it down to allow building infrastructure to increase capacity....they _should_ be back on line by mid- December...

apparently, we of the Monastery weren't the only one interested.... yeah I know... UTOPIA right?

:doh!: :desperate:

Yeap... if I had the funds to fly and lodge across Europe for years without working I would say you are right.... :'(
