Comment

The offer sounds very attractive, but the web sites seem to be unreliable, perhaps only to people not in Europe.  I have not had trouble reaching the grid, but I have only tried a few times.  I would be reluctant to build anything of value there unless I could get an OAR file easily.  I am not sure how I could do that if the web site is not accessible.
