WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zim Email system is down
[Note. I can’t help wondering if the Government is working against e-mail since that is the main mechanism by which news is still getting out of the country. Note, the agency in charge of Internet is government controlled. This is worrying. Jan]
The technical problems which have been brewing in Zimbabwes email system for months came to a head yesterday, with widespread failures affecting just about every internet service provider in the country. People outside Zimbabwe reported that email sent to Zimbabwe email addresses were returned to them with the message user/domain unknown. Those sending email from Zimbabwe to international addresses have had messages bounced back to them, and access to Zimbabwean websites from outside the country has also been difficult, or impossible at times. The technical faults apparently stem from the management of the top-level Zimbabwean internet domain (anything ending in .zw) by Telone. Telone is the successor organisation to the Post and Telecommunications Corporation (PTC), and is the state-controlled body responsible for Zimbabwes electronic and telephone networks.
Managing the top-level domain involves, amongst other things, keeping up to date the information required by internet networks around the globe in order to communicate with the Zimbabwean system. It appears that Telone may have lost this information, or not updated it, with the result that the rest of the world will not have the technical information necessary to communicate with servers in Zimbabwe. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Zimbabwe may just as well not exist in electronic terms, said one internet specialist. The system has been run as if it is an unroadworthy country bus repaired at the side of the road.
