Yeah, their server is really in pretty bad shape.  Took forever to 
finally download it, and all I seem to get is the "progressing" message 
when I try to load the magazine for reading.

I can see the table of contents, but when I tap on an article, it's 
"progressing" and haven't been able to get it past that point.

The whole system obviously needs some serious work, but at least it's a 
start.  <smile>
