  10. RAM upgrade successful! There should be *way* fewer blank-page issues, and a lot more stability again.
  11. cleaning done. RAM upgrade today or tomorrow; then a settings tweak to take advantage of it.
  12. Also, doing some housecleaning right now, so sever may be unusually slow for the next 15-40 minutes.
  13. RAM for server ordered. New yearly site cost is $480 US. May be a few days before the upgrade actually occurs.
