We love Kim Komando - she has the greatest computer and Internet related radio show around," said Brian Randy Funk, project manager at LandVoyage.com. The amount of traffic we received from Kim Komando was so phenomenal," he added with a smile, we got crushed. It is just too bad that we didnt have the synergy to handle all the new users at the time."

LandVoyage.com engineers worked for days to develop enough capacity to handle the increased traffic. The website was not fully functional again until Monday, June 23.
