Re: Gum website update
"a private feud??" I have no earthly idea what you're talking about,
Don. I really don't.
I thought it was very silly, a month or so ago, when you sent me a
very scathing private email chastising me about not posting images to
the list-- (a simple mistake I made purely by being careless and
simply forgetting that you can't do that here)-- as though you were
somehow personally offended by it-- which I didn't get at all--
especially since it had already been mentioned to me on-list (very
nicely) by others, and I did apologize (on-list) for it. And then
you felt the need to remind me again about it (on-list) for no
reason that I could imagine-- which I found both really odd and off-
putting, but "private feud??" You've created that out of whole
cloth, I'm afraid. I can't even remember the last time I sent you an
email off-list, to be honest.

Judy,
Why anyone would want to suffer with dial up speeds in the age of
DSL is
beyond me. I know you can afford DSL so why bother with dial up.
As for Diana, she and I have had a private feud for a while and she
apparently wants to drag it I out here on the list.
I'm not in the mood to put up with it and I'm not.

No, it really doesn't "all depend," Don. You show me a *flat* $10/

DSL

I'll be the first to step up and say I was wrong, and you're
brilliant.
But
I'm here to tell you that you will *never* find a $10/month *flat
rate*
for a
DSL connection-- not in *any* universe.
I haven't had dial-up in years, and would certainly give up using a
computer
if I had to go back to one, so it's no big deal to me. I just
think a
misleading statement like that ought to be corrected. So there. :)
I second the motion, Diana... and -- hey Don -- some things have to be
"taken seriously" or we're all captive consumers. I'd rather use a
paper
cup and a piece of string than feel *compelled* to use anyone's
"system."
And, for the record, I'm still on dial-up (nyah nyah), though I do
have
another service I don't understand, but it seems to be a combo of
Mac's
mail program and daughter's router. She's 2 floors overhead and
both her
father and I (also visiting dignitaries) can log on for free with the
password, and "download" and "attach" to our heart's content.
But here's a question: When you say "download," do you mean
download an
image onto your desktop, or just view the images on the website? In my
experience, viewing is different (immediate) from downloading.
I'll add BTW, that we used to have several possible wii hosts
nearby, for
instance, "Two Big Fags" (or maybe that was "Three") and Apt 15, that
weren't password protected and very handy in emergencies, but now the
daughter's connection seems (knock-on-wood) trouble free.
HOWEVER, though it's handy for attachments, images, et al, that Mac
Mail
program makes me want to sell my Mac stock... it's stupid beyond
belief,
and beyond all patience, non-intuitive, clunky, clumsy, and generally
tiresome, awkward & annoying to use. If I had to do daily text on
it, I'd
go back to snail mail. Pine on Panix is intuitive, efficient,
logical,
simple and quick. (I'm told, btw, that techies use it -- it
figures.) In
comparison every other mail program I've ever used is a kludge.
J.
I will add that I have a lightening fast DSL connection here, but
even
so--
some websites that are posted here on this list are slow to
download for
me
(not speaking of the two that were just posted, however). So
unless it's
something I seriously want to view, I know I don't wait more than
about 10
seconds, if that, for something to come up. I move on (and I suspect
others
do as well). For those folks, I'd think about making your images
smaller,
or
doing whatever it takes to shorten that download time. As usual,
my 2
cents.

That all depends Diana. But whatever! Complaining about download

Don,
While I agree that DSL accounts are now relatively inexpensive,
and I
could/would never go back to dial-up-- that $10 per month requires
that you are already a customer of whatever service is offering it
(AT&T, for instance), along with some other attached strings. There
is a "DSL lite," too, that is just as good as the regular DSL,
in my
experience. But to say that you can get a DSL account "for as
little
as $10 per month now" is slightly misleading. "DSL lite" costs are
probably closer to $25-30 a month; our regular DSL is closer to $40/
month. As usual, there are some additional hidden costs-- no matter
what service you're choosing.

Actually, just FYI, the second link has none of his tricolor gum
work
on it that I can see, and the first link has an impossible download
time; I gave up after about 15 minutes as it was just started to
download the second image. So I may not use either link, but
thanks
for the info regardless.
