(I HAD to cut some of that out...now were using the bandwidth!!)
I have the mid-speed ADSL and it takes a half an hour or so to d/l one
of SNSs 700MB posts. And...SNS!...that is NOT a complaint. It is worth
it. And Geoff: That was me again that mentioned the TV in the kitchen.
It seems we are pleading two different causes: You seem to be talking
about preserving these for the future and I am talking about using them
as cooking aids. If we want to preserve them for the future, usenet is
NOT the way to do it. Get in touch with the folks that make these vids
and have them save them on a high res archive (Blu-Ray or whatever is
best). Certainly not a download from usenet.
Griff: I thought I had it bad. You may have a slow internet, but after
30 years of sailing up and down the west coast, going mostly into
Ketchikan and Drift River (Kenai) as well as Valdez, I can honestly say
that you live in one of the most beautiful places in th U.S.! I loved
going up to Alaska.
Again, SNS: Do whatever is best for you. And Thanks for all.
