What's up with Altavista?

Has anybody else been having problems with it lately? Its servers seem to freeze up so conveniently RIGHT when I need it. Maybe it's just me... :\
And DON'T say use Google. Sometimes Google just doesn't cut it.

Use lycos. No seriously, I only use google and altavista, and I haven't had any problems with either ever. Maybe your computer had a computer fart. Either that or everything which goes wrong eventually boils down to Microsoft?? Anyways I predict this topic to be expectedly short

If it ain't on Google, it ain't worth lookin at it. That's my motto! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

I'd be surprised if it were my computer. It's done this seemingly randomly (save for the right-when-I-need-it pattern) for a good while now, and it's starting to get on my nerves. Plus it used to do it back when I used IE, now I use Firefox and it still happens. Maybe it's just my connection... Bellsouth is kindof annoying sometimes.

I used to use Altavista a lot because only-with-Altavista-could-I-connect-words-like-this-for-exact-matches. Then I discovered the wonders of using quotation marks on Google.
