It'll take more than that to lose this website! I have multiple backup copies 
around the place, and I have enough machines at work that I can run up a web 
server pretty quickly...   :-)

Anything like Matlock Bath, then?  I've heard that's a biker's congregation

Ooops... I dunno what happened here, but that's where we get cut off...  700
