Dear all
I thought the British Sundial Society web site was at
http://www.sundialsoc.org.uk/ - but it seems to have been hijacked to
sell lawnmowers and such like!
What is going on?

This is very bad news Andrew!
It's just a guess, but it looks like the British Sundial Society might have
let its Domain Name registration expire and it was purchased by this lawn
supply business! The British Sundial Society needs to look into this
problem immediately! Who is the webmaster?
Try clearing your web browser cache and see if you still get through. I can't.

Thanks from all of us Fer. Now ZW2000 will have many more years of use.
I might add that it works perfectly on Windows XP, Vista and the new
Windows7.

Such a shame that we cannot have sundials inside.
What we need is for somebody to develop a motor-driven, geared apparatus
that will move an electric through a path that picks up all the relevant
celestial motions.
We CAN have sundials indoors, and it doesn't take gears and motors!

Does anyone know the actual IP address of the true site? If so, you could
connect to it,
I think, by using the IP number as the URL.

Hi Frank:
On the contrary! England has more indoor sundials than any other country-

Most stained glass, etched glass, and many translucent plastic dials are
mounted directly in windows or are placed on stands (like the Spectra dials)
on window sills or
The space-holder site seems to be safe, for what that's worth.
I think Fabio hit it on the head, with the domain registration expiring.
Looks like it was successfully re-registered, so once the DNS information
