No problem! Who cares about filesize anymore?

Apparently my ISP does. They binned it straight away!

I think that your ISP must have a sideline in antiques! What do
they think this is? 2005?

Incidentally there is a "technology leader" aerospace manufacturer that
has a 5 Mb limit on emails. How quaint. Hardly big enough for a
Wright
Flyer 3-view. I'm told that when a "really big" PDF has to be sent to
them, say all of 8 Mb, it is printed and then faxed to them, to the
sound of much laughter or exasperation in the sender's office,
depending
on the urgency of the situation. And who the hell uses faxes any more?
Anyone that needs to communicate with someone in 1991 I suppose! I
think that this manufacturer should tell its staff to get Yahoo
accounts.

Is this the US aerospace manufacturer that is three years behind on
its most recent project or the European aerospace manufacturer that is
three years behind on its most recent project?

Where I work there is a five Mb limit on stuff coming in from the
outside. We deal a lot in PowerPoint as support to hearings. Needless to
say, anybody from the outside with a slide deck of any size has to bring
it in by SneakerNet.
