                I knew that's what happened when their entire system was completely down for at least a week. We couldn't order anything at all and I couldn't download manuals as needed for a few weeks. What irks me about the whole situation is that they never said a word to us about it the entire time they were down. Just come clean and say what's up instead of saying we can't order anything.

                  I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but in Europe we also had a lot of order delays. I thought about the summer holidays but maybe this has something to do with it.

                    Did Canon get hit as well? Their e-support site was down for nearly a month. And went down right soon after KM's came back up.

                      it's a LINK to a damn report

                      if you have a virus detection it will beep right away and it will be blocked.
