concur.... It is true, the color TV is here and getting one of those old
B&W's is getting harder and harder.... In a couple of years I am hoping my
computer will foresee my next mechanical failure and send the e-mail so I
will know the answer before it occurs. Get a copy of this month's
Scientific American and take a look what we are going to have to deal with
in the coming year(s), not to mention the new 76" dish screen monitor that
you sit into totally experience the virtual reality ($20,000 today, probably
$329.99 at Wal-Mart next month), then we will be able to show each other how
really hard the head is to get off... from inside the cylinder.
In terms of e-mail; the color TV is here and HDTV is around the corner.
I am just thankful they haven't raised the speed limit so high that my
vanagon won't be let out on the road.

The last thing I'll say about this is that there are many free email
programs available for downloading (on <nonags.com> and <tucows.com> for
instance), and those programs that don't offer the text option can
simply be abandoned. Is the lessened bandwith congestion enough to
matter? I don't know, but the efficiencies gained in server space
utilization might be worth the switch.
Same here with Ntscp.6...I abandoned it after first use.
