Re: [cobalt-users] errpage download 404

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tried downloading it by typing the location into IE, by typing the 
location into Netscape, and by clicking on it in Eudora.

It worked each time.

Thanks for the page though; I've put it into my bookmarks, and I'll take a 
look at the neat stuff the next time I have a spare minute (currently 
scheduled for Dec. 29, 2037 <smile>).
