thanks Joel, working on it now.  since the DNS has changed to our
servers, we can make it happen pretty quickly with it being a local
change.  probably make the change before the servers are actually down
late Friday and make sure it is being delivered before turning off the
servers at Stark Media.

of course, if someone wants to make a nice, pretty page, I would
appreciate the help.  I am busy for the next few days.
