Dear Chris, You souffer the finest sympthoms of the pleasant variation of being nuts. What an RFC ! Now I get it.. this explains why I have to clean the spam off my car windscreen so often.. and as you may know I am running my secret carrier pigeon network hub near a famous square in Venice Italy that was named after me (or me after them).
I laugh each time people at Cisco claim they have the biggest routers... watch the activity on this Italian backplane ! <http://www.chato.cl/2004/viajes/7/tn/San_Marco.jpg.html> I always say... if Adolf Hitler had the Mac 68K and text-based tools such as Claris emailer, we would have been paying our bread in Reichsmark and our dear beloved common railway facilities would have been the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Watch ENIGMA the Movie ! I love it. We got graphical tools because of their productivity improvement, but we exagerrated and today people ask simple questions like "will you join me for dinner tonight" in a latest version Flash movie, and we are shipping documents around that are 90% overhead, headers and fonts, and contain exactly the same text portion as we would send 20 years ago. And we have animated trashcans, not to forget that boost to the economy and social promotion of our people. Today's keyboards contain more CPU power than is required to type and print a letter. cb wrote on 27-12-2006 20:56 * * * Start of original message text * * * >On Dec 27, 2006, at 2:39 PM, Marc CASTEELS wrote: > >> TCP/IP is TCP/IP no matter if it travels via DSL, CABLE, PHONELINE or > >That is why I always laugh when people tell me they need a new >computer to get Cable internet.

I could have high speed internet in addition to cheaper long distance telephone service if I got basic cable (and therefore a cable modem). Well, if I do this, would I still be able to use CE for email?
