Here is a message I received from Brian.  It looks as if the pages will be
available soon.  I hope so as several of us are waiting for one.

Best Regards, John Bancroft - Rootsweb Sponsor - FINNERTY-L Listowner

Hi John, Patricia, and all -

The reason why RootsWeb isn't selling Web space right now is that the main Web
server is nearly maxed out on both load and bandwidth right now.

We're working to fix that.

Within the next few days, we'll be moving the query system onto a new server and
that will significantly reduce the CPU load on the main server.  Within the next
few weeks, we'll be upgrading the main server from [single Pentium Pro 200,
256MB DRAM, 17GB disk] to [dual Pentium Pros, 1000MB DRAM, 49GB fast disk],
which should more than double its capacity.  We will also, I think, be moving
that server onto a DS3 connection to the Internet.

After that upgrade, we'll be selling personal/family Web space on that server
again.  The cost to RootsWeb, as best I can estimate, is around $1 per MB per
year, so I expect we'll sell space to Sponsors at about that cost.  Cheers, B.
