Jim, it is better to send the URL. Graphics overload many mailboxes. Thanks. Sincerely, C. Ponzi
Doyle; Web based social sites get around the mail box issue of over load. Graphics of all kinds, especially I suppose Pod casting ought to be included, are a real bane to email. A great deal of content on email is mangled by the lack of means to organize it as is available to more web based methods. Technically the implementation of fast service depends upon state level infrastructure, and however much it makes sense to offer graphics, most of the world will be struggling with minimal service connection to the internet for a long time. Most likely for most people, they will access the internet through their cell phones. This further complicates the picture. Mobile computing also offers location specific services which is not available to the desktop environment where fast access might be available. These sorts of location services (financial transactions) though would take precedent over enabling cell phones for desktop like access. At the same time for business purposes mobile graphics has substantial market value compared to text only content. Doyle
