  19. One thought/opinion/whatever:
  20.  
  21. As a dail-up user, I do not look forward to watching the clock tick
  22. away while I download several hundred K of EMail, the bulk of which
  23. is binary pictures that could just as easily, and more courteously, be
  24. sent to an FTP site (such as tomahawk) where one would have a choice
  25. whether to download or not.
  26. I know a picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, but jeez... let's
  27. not. OK?
