I can't imagine anyone who was concerned about bandwidth or downloading being on this particular list. It's full of junk and gunk add on's that drive me nuts too. It's downright messy and difficult to follow... at least it is for me.
I haven't figured out an alternative yet... LOL. Every person's email looks identical to me. If I or someone else were using anything other than plain text I haven't seen it. I'm sure it's there if others have seen it. So I'll be sure that plain text is applied, better safe than give someone sore eyes. Eric, glad someone knew how to help you enlarge your text in Outlook.

We left Charlotte Harbor largely because we found it difficult and we draw seven feet. Pelican Bay (26 41.135N, 82 14.508W)is not doable for draughts much greater than five feet. The only thing at Pelcan Bay is Cayo Costa State Park which is very beautiful but lacks facilities of any kind. You would find a useful dink dock and parking in Punta Gorda at Fisherman's Village (26 56.245N, 82 04.403W) but you would have to anchor pretty far out and the anchorage is pretty exposed in Northwesterly winds. You would not be able to access the fuel dock there for water or diesel either. We bumped the bottom on approach at high tide. I think the Punta Gorda PD and FWC might prove difficult if you attempted an extended stay too. Don't know what things are like more down towards Ft. Myers. My wife's work drives where we stay and Ft. Myers didn't work for her. -- Philip McConnell Tayana 52, USSV Gryphon Fort Pierce, FL Norm of Bandersnatch wrote: > > Anita, > > That's interesting.

Us old hackers used to make fun of the AOL people with their 'pretty-print', fostered upon us by MS (I remember gettiing a message in the 80's with a '.dat' file attched to it, I was using a plain POP3 client - hello? What's that?). Alas, things have changed, I am watching a Steelers game on ESPN Gamecast, (I have no TV), passing the grandchildrens' pics thru email and such. BUT!! I prefer to send text mode and include URL's rather than the whole file, and on a list, especially one where some people have message size limits, text mode is the way to go. Be kind to the people that don't have broadband..... the Dino PS: A hacker in the olden days NEVER did anything malicious, just modified the operating system code on his own computer to his liking. Ahemmm.... Well, I did hack a lawyer's (a friend, believe it or not) office system once, so when he booted his computer his login screen had a picture of me saying 'hello'.
