All: Sorry but I must vent on this one. I pay a flat rate for I-way access (some people pay by the minute) but I do have to contend with a bitchy roommate for phone time. Anyway, the moral is this: Don't spam the list with large attachments, GIFs, JPeGs, pictures of your cat, whatever. I have [T1] and [T2] busses and a [14.4K] connection at home. I don't wanna see a picture of a hitch for a [T3]. Besides that, I couldn't really see it anyway. If you REALLY have to mail a picture at least convert it to a .JPG first. I got a 320K message that contained a 236K GIF that I compressed to a 44K JPG. Hmmm. Maybe post a message asking if anyone is interested in such a picture and e-mail it to them directly. stty -rant Bob J. __\/__ . / ^ _ \ . |\| (*)(*) |/| ________.OOOo____oo____oOOO.__________ / Bob Johnson - Programmer \ | rjohnson@zeus.nesea2400.navy.mil | | Tracor ESD -- California, MD | | zaphod@atc.ameritel.net | \___________________Oooo.______________/ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_)
