Not sure why we have become enamored with the ability to post attachments, never saw much in the way of discussions on TechSHO that required attachments, and those that did were requests for charts or other material that were mailed directly. I specifically avoided the yahoo group board for sometime, waiting for the "ooh look at me, I can email pictures of my car to everyone now" factor to wear down.
Having broadband has made some of us a bit lazy, methinks. Too many photos are not cropped or resized these days. While I can download a 10MB picture, there's no reason for me to WANT to if I'm not going to refinish it and generate printable files. According to several web design sites that popped up in google, 1024x768 held about 70% of the market in 2006. Doubt it's changed a lot in the past two years.
I still subscribe to several Topica lists that have solid traffic. I haven't dropped TechSHO yet because I know some of the more experienced owners still subscribe. When I've got a really technical issue to resolve, I'd rather post to TechSHO and wait 3-4 days for a reply, than walk through five messages where the question was not understood, five messages explaining that the message was misunderstood, three messages that explain that the three of the correcting posters also misunderstood, four messages that are completely off-topic, seven more that are off-topic and directed at those replying to me, two that are to me but regard other issues, one that explains that I'd get a better answer if I'd check with so-and-so over at such-and-such, and two dumping on so-and-so's character, and telling some poor defender to shut up.
An exaggeration, sure, but it's funny as hell, no?
Oh, yeah, I'm still here, and still in Ky.

Same here. I use the Outlook Calendar for all of my scheduling and synching with
my PDA, and I have multiple Contact lists that are very useful.

I don't like Outlook Express but Outlook itself is a pretty good program..

It's because folks like me ever unsubscribed, but no longer use this
|
list.
| | Text-based lists that don't allow attachments are a quaint '90s
|
relic.
Ditto. I don't download my mail in bunches from Comcast anymore for
the
same reason....my ancient mailer program hasn't a clue what to do with
pictures.
The bad news is, even my cable modem is sometimes slow. If the posts
are
already in my computer, I don't have to fool with the internet.
I need a new e-mailer program other than Outlook.
.......why not Outlook?.....I don't know.....I just don't prefer
Windows
sub-programs, I guess.....
