Ok, so I'm tryin' to do alittle shoppin' before the kids get home & although I can reach my eBay, Title Search & Item Search get the same result:
Web Site Not Responding
The web site you have requested may be experiencing technical difficulties due to a busy or broken server.
Would be amusing to see a snake (eBay) done in by a Worm!

I do believe it has to do with one's ISP. Last night I could barely surf, and could not access my E-mail nor my web-based mail...the "worm" was meant to try to attack the big wheels, and many ISPs suffered a general slow-down, which is a backlash from big companies being "hit"...Mindspring did not get hit, but was caught in the bottle-neck traffic

I don't see why the Government is so worried about the Code Red worm. It's main result is to innundate a site with enough traffic to slow it down to a snail's pace. Ebay sellers have been putting up with this for years.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
Lots of servers have been hit. Ebay is fine, (I'm cruising anywhere I want on it), but so many people are having problems, my guess is the worm has some routers/servers clogged up.

All they need to do to unclog the servers is re-boot. But then they slowly get clogged up again unless they get patched.
