Roughly translated means if i spend an extra 50 bucks a month on my internet
connection and put a decent computer on it, I can listen to the tapes -
tempting - yes - affordable ? not till it rains some!
We would go from 26 k to 256k line speed

OK Bandwidth works two ways. It's helpful to know your point of view. 
However, you should still be able to listen to these files, even on 
your 26kb connection by adjusting your buffering rate. It's like drip 
irrigating from a 1,000 gallon tank that you've got spaghetti seeping 
into 24 hours a day. If you can buffer far enough ahead, you 
shouldn't notice the slowness as you actually buffer. It's that 
waiting for the buffer to fill after the buffer has been set to the 
right size that we need to adjust.

I'm not, however, getting enough feedback from the list to know what 
steps need to be taken to correct these problems. I'm no internet 
audio whiz. What would be most helpful is if people would talk to 
their ISPs and/or the RealAudio people to get suggestions for 
improving the playability of these files.

Thanks

If you do not have a decent bandwidth - jetstream or even good phone lines -
then the audio files will take ages to download. As for me.

 Does this mean something to you? It doesn't mean anything to me.

 What are you talking about?

Re: Dr. Cowan, anthroposophical md.etc.

Though i could not attend, i heard reports that Dr Cowan received standing
ovation from about 700 Organic and a few dozen BD growers attending his
keynote address at the annual Guelph organic conference 2 weeks ago.
I did make it to his subsequent presentation in Toronto, and was further
inspired by his simple correlations of RS observations regarding human
health...ie...
... the description of the segmented human skeleton as a resonant instrument
whose own integrity determines much of the status of the whole organism.
Paraphrasing: If you can't eat the bugs and worms directly for the nutrient
value, then pass them through the chickens firststressing the accessible
Omega factor in skeletal health just as grass fed cows convert the solar
to the molar.

Manfred - Thanks for this pertinent post. Your efforts to report are 
appreciated.


I have a 1.5 hour Tom Cowan presentation to post to the sound files 
when we get through this troubleshooting stage.

How do we get through this troubleshooting stage, well, people, 
access the York file and tell me if it works for you or not and, if 
not, call your ISP and find out 'why' This is only going to happen if 
we work at it together and there's work that can be done from any 
seat.

Thanks -Allan
