There are a couple of people at work who have http://www.msn.com as their
home page. For roughly 90 minutes this afternoon they were acutally
connecting to http://www.freewebsites.com. There was a bit of a debate as to
whether it was a "goof" routing table somewhere or if someone had hacked
MSN. Haven't seen anything in the news. Where they were getting redirected
to has really gotta make me wonder...
