I've been trying to get into their website all weekend and all the links off the home pages (www porter-cable com & www deltaportercable com) result in server error message pages. Did B&D cancel their subscription?

At 12:14 AM EST, July 28th, I tried the Service link:

http:// www deltaportercable com / ServiceAndSupport / ServiceAndSupport aspx

on Firefox 2.1.1.16, Safari 3.1 and Internet Explorer 7.

Note that the home page ( works fine. It is only the links on the home page that fail as follows. Note also that www porter-cable com just autoforwards to www deltaportercable com.

All three browsers report the same server error.

P.S. I did find a reference to this error message over at M$ and it looks like someone at Black&Decker didn't make sure all their tees were crossed and their eyes dotted. M$ says this is a set up error on the server side and there isn't anything a client (ie, us) can do about it except wait around and see if anyone fixes it.

P.P.S. Now that's odd. The forum published my 3rd post before it published my 2nd post. That is going to make the order of things a little strange to read, eh? :-)
