The impetus for the incident described in the original post was a discussion on alt.sewing which required me to show the other participants pictures of the trousers I was designing. Those pictures may still be posted, for all I know. I created a whole new Yahoo identity when we got a new ISP and I couldn't figure out how to change the address for the old identity. But I believe Yahoo does delete mailing lists that go a certain number of years without activity. So if you don't have a digital camera or a scanner, you *don't* need a Web site. > Our ISP gives a generous allowance > for a free web site, but it's not something I can ever see us doing. Cool -- once you learn how to use FTP, it's a groovy way to back up non-sensitive files. You wouldn't back up Quicken that way, but for stuff nobody would bother to read, calling up WS_FTP and clicking "send" is a lot easier than reaching for the box of floppies and taking out the one at the back. My mailing program, for example, conglomerates the messages I haven't yet dealt with into a pair of humongous files that won't fit on a floppy, but they fit with room to spare into one of the otherwise-unused Web sites (we get eight with our Internet access). Without the mailer to read it, said file is a confused mess, and if you could read it, you wouldn't learn anything I didn't want you to know. Another web site holds the off-site back-ups for my works in progress -- after one disaster (aka "upgrade"), the only copy of my poetry I could find was the one on the web site. -- Joy Beeson http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~dbeeson594/ROUGHSEW/ROUGH.HTM west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
