Melissa, Thank you for your comments.
Very sadly for Linux enthusiasts that we are, the dreaded MS does tend to lead the way. It is possible to send e-cards to recipients, not requiring them to search the web for their prized picture and sound. The sound files can easily be found in 'openoffice' and these are around 35 k. This is indeed a small download which with a dial-up connection may take 3 seconds! Technology will and must move forward. Best wishes, Malcolm Candlish.
