..... or who do not have 1M/sec direct connections to the Internet. I was in
fact please to receive the files since I am into building programmers now. I
took about 40 seconds to receive them. Anyone in this discussion group & who
took 10  min or over to download them I think should get better hardware or
server connections as a minimum system requirement in 6/96. (?)

What Jattie did I suspect will become the norm soon. The onus will then be
on the recipient to set his mailer not to receive files. Or (if the files
clog up the server waiting for delivery) a separate pic group may start
where file transfers are allowed. Just thoughts ..
