Extra Kollsman Altimeter Poimters

Dennis,

Can you post a photo of this altimeter's dial to, say,
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation?

Jon

Jon,

Well I have a pretty good jpeg of the altimeter, but can't find the
email address for this group to post the pic to! Google says it's at
the bottom of the groups "Home Page", but I don't see it?

My groups tool (Netscape 7.0), using Google Groups, does not see
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation so I can't post there either. If you
send me your email address I'll send the pic to you. Or, if someone
knows this group's email address, I'll post the altimeter pic for all
to view.

Newsgroups look like email, but they're not.

Instead of using the browser part of your Netscape 7.0, use the "mail and
newsgroups" part. It's the icon at the bottom left of your browser window that
looks like a US mail envelope, or it's the part of netscape that you use to read
email.

You might have to go to edit-preferences and configure a news server. If you
are using earthlink (as your return address indicates), use "news.earthlink.net"
as your news server. Then open the link for news.earthlink.net that is created
over on the left side of your mail and newsgroups window, click on "manage
newsgroup subscriptions" and subscribe to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation.

You might decide you want to use that to access this newsgroup, too, rather than
google.

By the way, you might want to disguise your return address when you post to
newsgroups, unless you like getting spam.

Also, there are web services now available that will store files short-term
for transfer to other parties. They aren't a perfect solution for all
situations, and have no archive qualities (deletion of the files after a
week is common), but for quickly and easily moving files from one person to
another, they work fine.

One such service is http://www.dropload.com

For example, using the above service, upload the file, have notification
sent to yourself, and post the link here.

It's a much better solution than encoding binary files as text, even in a
newsgroup set aside specifically for that purpose (the text encoding, used
in email or in newsgroups, can add as much as 30% or so to the size of the
data being moved around...and of course, in the case of newsgroups, that
data gets copied to LOTS of places that will never actually use it).
