ouch!
for a company to close up shop without notice usually means that either something catastrophic happened, or someone decided to give up the business. personally, I seriously wish I had the funds to start and maintain a proper datacenter. there would be a lot of projects that I wouldn't mind undertaking just for the challenge.

They are currently unavailable to much of the Internet, and if things keep going like they seem to be, may be offline altogether soon. This makes the domain that we have used for 15+ years a little too unreliable to use anymore. So, from now on please use the new domain of phxlinux.org for the website and *@lists.phxlinux.org for the mailing lists. You will need to change your bookmarks and address books to reflect this. If you continue to use *@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us I can't guaranty that your email will ever get to the mailing list.

> The first step to filing a mechanics lien in Arizona is to verify you're entitled to so file. This involves two primary considerations: (1) Whether you're qualified to file as per the legal statutes; and (2) Whether you protected your right to file by sending the required preliminary notice. As far as who can file a mechanics lien, the Arizona law protects nearly everyone except suppliers to suppliers. Further, while a written contract is not usually required, a written contract is required if you're furnishing to an owner-occupied residential property, and that contract must be directly with the owner. As far as protecting your rights along the way, everyone in Arizona is required to delivery a preliminary notice within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials to a construction project.
