I have purchased my disk space here at Tripod. With the bandwidth limits on my free account the Cafe was unavailable at times because of heavy traffic. While it makes me happy so many people find my site useful, the more people, more hits, the more bandwidth used. I now have a fairly good amount of bandwidth so the Cafe should be available at all times as long as I can continue to pay for bandwidth. Did I mention no more ads on the Cafe's pages:)
Added a dozen new Christmas Midis for the holiday season.
November 2008
Soon all pages relevant to just WebTv/MsnTv will have an MsnTv logo on the page.

October 2008
I will be shutting down The Cafe's email with the Everyone.net brand. There is nothing wrong with Everyone.net's email. I just don't have time to keep it up like it should be. Close down of the email is set for January 2, 2009 11:59pm EDT. If you have important emails saved you need to get them out NOW. Once the email is shut down all access to all information from all users will NOT be available ever again.
September 2008
New counters from extreme tracking will soon be operational on all pages. I really hate to loose all the hits and info that have been collected over the past nine years on the old counters. The old counters are becomming obsolete because of all the new technical advances with p.c.'s and the internet.
