Yesterday  we had similar problems here in California.  Digikey searches 
would go anywhere from near instant to "server not responding; try 
again?" Mouser, Future, Maxim all the same. This morning it has been a 
little hit and miss as well.

Of course, it only happens when you *really* need to use the net for 
business.  Ordering parts for example.  It's been a long time since I 
have needed to actually speak to a sales clerk to buy parts.  The net 
makes it just oh so easy.  We begin to totally rely on it.  Then - wham! 
it disappears.

It makes one wonder just what the repercussions would be world wide to 
businesses if it were to actually go 100% down for a week or several...
