Can view jpeg or .gif attachements? What if someone want to post something to the group for example the sample logo's for other to see and get an opinion on. how do you view such? I live in the 21st century. And the 21st century will be far more visual than the 21st. look explosion of CD's and DVD's how even TV's is going digital. I just can't imagine any one wishing to stay stuck in 1960. Having to use text only in 1960 was ideal because modems were in the 300 baud range. Just 6 -7 years ago i was using a 1200baud modem. Today I am using DSL. Its at the lostest end of the DSL spectrum due to my distance from Phone company office. But it is DSL and its about 8 times faster than my 56K modem. My current computer has a 23gb Hard drive and 1.5 gb's of System RAM. My first Mac an SE/30 original came with a 40 mb hard drive and 1 mb system RAM. WE all have to keep up with times or we will be left behind. The world is not Black and white. Its amazing what it looks like in color. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
