Re: grumble...mobot

Not sure "back to normal" is an improvement over unreachable. I have no idea how the site is structured and/or cobbled together, but it is about the slowest site I've ever tried to use twice.

Well, Kitty, I'm not sure it's a person.  Looks like a server problem
and all systems have those.  Could be they don't have enough tech
personnel to keep things up to snuff or something.....budget cuts?

I often find sites on the MOBOT server to be a bit flaky.

Ok, what's wrong with Mobot now?
The database is there. I click on any plant name and the basic data
and
photo come up, but nothing after that. Each entry sports a message:

"Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find file
'E:\web\www.mobot.org\gardeninghelp\database\HortWeb.mdb'. 
/gardeninghelp/plantfinder/Plant.asp, line 36 "
Someone is always screwing around with it.  It used to be so
dependable.
