Update from the photo front - Ok, I have now sorted out the multitude of issues which have plagued me from the start of this endeavor. I knew I had purchased a large mailbox amount on my hosting package - only problem was when I set it up _I_ didn't allot it a sufficient size, so instead of a 100MB mailbox I had a 10mb mailbox and 75MB unallocated. To top it all off I had set my client to leave copies on the server for 5 days so once it filled Saturday into Sunday, it was tits up.
SO - If you have tried to contact me and gotten a bounce back message or no response whatsoever, and are still willing to provide images, go ahead and contact me again. Everyone who has gotten a hold of me has gotten the FTP instructions and successfully sent images, except for the most recent to be mailed the instructions (one person). But the box was full from sometime late Sunday (east coast time). I apologize for the unprofessionalism this started off with. I made too many assumptions, thereby making an @$$ out of myself when all I wanted to do was help and use a talent and equipment at my disposal to promote EMC. This sort of error would have been catastrophic had it been a full fledged business (which one day I intend it to be). So my apologies to everyone, especially those who put up with trying to get files to me and being patient while I tried working out my bugs. I have a decent amount of pictures, but would like at least another 5 machines to showcase. Some of the machines received so far are very inspiring for me in seeing the creativity not only in the work they are producing but in the machines themselves. So to those who haven't donated pics, or have tried and got fed up with the hassle, I hope you will give it another shot. To those who have - thank you. Dale is really investing a lot of his time in making the EMC presence strong and I commend him. I wish my body could stand/sit in one place long enough to take more shifts on the floor, this is the best way for me to contribute, so again, one more shot and please accept my humble apologies, this snafu was all on me.
