Jason,
I don't think 3 MB files should be posted to the list unless there's a great
need, but there IS a fix for the problem you mention below: In Outlook (and
I assume other email clients) you can set it to leave large attachments on
the server, and only download them (or delete them) when you have a high
bandwidth connection. That way one large attachment doesn't clog your whole
inbox. I do this all the time when I'm in a remote area, and using my VZW
cellphone as a 14.4 modem on my laptop.
In Outlook go to "Tools", then "Options", then "Mail Setup" tab, then "Send
Receive" button, then "Edit", and finally "Download only headers for items
larger than", and fill in your kb limit.
Screen capture attached.

You should have thought again. When I have to wait for half an hour for a
single e-mail message to download (incidentally delaying my access to all of
the e-mail messages coming behind it that I want to see), it should be worth
the wait...and this one wasn't.

Thought I would send you all this email from Pratt & Whitney Canada.
I"m in school on a new aircraft and the engine information in a P&W
brochure
gave Thrust as 6400 Fn and Thermodynamic 7630 Fn. I had no idea what these
units were, so I wrote to their customer service in Montreal who forwarded
me the attached file, you'll see it has a mishmash of units, Fahrenheit
only, Celsius only, basically no SI except for Celsius. Fn is apparently
their abbreviation for Pound Thrust, anyone have any idea where they might
have got this weird abbreviation from?
Mike Payne
Michael,
The abbreviation Fn that PWC uses is for net thrust in lbs. I have
attached an engine overview file that should answer most of your
questions. For specific operating limits please refer to the engine
maintenance manual chapter 05-10-00.
Best Regards,
Jean Marc Saulnier

I cannot find anything on this engine on your web site.
I'm at school on the Falcon 7X with Pratt & Whitney 307A engines, the
information we have is incomplete. The handout States Thrust 6400 Fn,
what is this? Femto Newtons? Do you have any information that gives
better information. I'm fine with data in SI, just give me the correct
units.
Michael Payne
