The IRS' computer has been fixed; it's accepting e-filings again

Yesterday I did my taxes through one of the online services. (I'm not going to recommend it or any other because my return is too damn simple to really tell how they do, but I've been using the one I go to for several years and always get my refund quickly. And in this day and age of 0.001% interest on savings accounts, I get exactly the same amount of interest from the IRS that I do from my bank, so I don't mind letting them use it for a little while.) Last night, we got the news that the IRS' computers were screwed up. Today I got the "return accepted by the IRS" notice from the tax provider's computer.
