The long awaited arrival of IE5 is over, released March 19th resulted in measureable bandwidth problems. The scramble to update to the new browser created plenty of frustrations, even for those on cable. The U.S. download site was impossible to access, and even cable users reported being bumped around the world and taking as long as an hour to complete. Sound rediculous? On a 28.8 modem it took the better part of eight hours to complete the download on it's release date. Was it worth it... ?
GeoCitizen Awards Did you know you could qualify for an award just for being a good GeoCitizen? The Eureka CL team has worked hard at putting together awards programs for our homesteaders, Community Leaders, and Liaisons. You too could qualify for one of these awards.

Have you joined the Eureka Today Reader's Banner Exchange? Specifically for Eureka Homesteaders, this banner exchange program allows you the complete freedom to build the banner of your dreams, or the option of having us create one for you. The banners are displayed on the pages of the Eureka Today Newsletter and are randomly generated. You do not have to add a banner to your page, simply upload the banner you choose to run for this exchange and submit your application including the full directory path (URL) to your banner. Banner applications are updated weekly. Banners can be in JPEG, GIF, or animated GIF format and are standard 468 x 60... so go ahead, build that ultimate banner and we'll display it for you!
