With *highly* erratic ISP speeds (400Kbps to 1980Kbps or so) email comes in and is filed to a "LUG" sub file automatically. This is archived off email program and gives me a most useful learning and search-able system. I find 'forums' on web sites inconvenient, due (1) I need to be live on web and (2) how do you get a question/answers from apparently uninteresting subject which later spark interest. email wins as it is ea silly search-able text with almost no storage problem compared with live forums - --- there is a place for both , I prefer email--- Good luck to the forum, I may visit Regards Eion MacDonald -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHRaayfCpIMZHWWj4RAmc9AKDlXcjJFzUmj2FYw/+9lCnTIiL+CQCglzRU zRM4P0nt2M/We7XyacjnUlU= =PAgQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
