In the time you have written the above epistel you could have
downloaded, installed and be up and running Xnews TWICE. With fewer
keyhits and fewer mouse clicks.
This is NOT difficult and if you are not sure how to there are people
around here that are very willing to walk you through it.

A friend of mine lives on a farm here in the netherlands and is, to
his own disgust, still dependant on dial-up connection. On top of
that he has up- and down load limits. So for these people (and there
are more of them than you can imagine) please keep your posts as
small as you can.

I know I will.

Good morning Bert-Jan,

Concerns of those much like your dial-up constrained friend have
always been accommodated by the regulars in this newsgroup. Every
request for a re-post of a smaller version (or a larger version for
that matter) of an original posting has been honored. It's only a
matter of mutual respect.

Thank you for your observations and comments.

Don




Which would mean that other people with slower connections and/or
download limits have to be happy with downsized or inferior quality
products, when the technology is there for them.

I don't think so!
