I heard a report that they attempted a "routine" software upgrade before trading started this morning and there was a problem with the supposedly minor changes that were made. No word on exactly what software was attempting the upgrade.

Sorry this was my fault. I unplugged a cable that said "NYSE - do not unplug."

I flew United to Savannah, GA from Houston at noon today and there were no issues. Matter a fact, the whole group of United terminals in Houston indicated no issues.
