After doing a Google search in the form

site:geocities.com electronics

and seeing that almost all of the sites returned got redirected to new
(non-Geocities) sites, maybe Yahoo! is actually doing this shutdown in
an orderly, staged way, allowing the old Geocities URLs to be redirected
to new ones. So my guess is that this will persist for, say, a month or
so, at which time they'll actually shut down their servers.
