YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! _RIGHT NOW!!!_
<<Hey, what have you been up to Bruce?>>
Waiting. Watching. Reading. Laughing out loud. Getting bored. Getting
impatient. Getting annoyed. Getting angry. Getting a grip. Driving to useless
meetings. Doing my job such as it is with frozen project funds. Trying to
figger out the Internet. Watching the earthquake news from Japan. Watching the
flood news from California. Watching the O.J. trial prelims. Watching Newt
Gingrich twist in the prevailing media winds…

<<Have you started on some model for the Comms Center?>>
Yep. A tower with a bunch of stairs winding from bottom to top of the inside
perimeter. Nothing I'm ready to UL yet, tho'. I want to see what opportunities
are offered by the wireframe and model that you haven't been able to shove
through your com port before I build anything for real.
<<I hope ti get something uploaded as soon as I can get this "#'&~eeu%
communication software to send my files.>>
Maybe you should DL WinCIM ver 1.3, and upgrade. I've been using it since it
came out with nary a hitch, but I don't do much more than e-mail and DL
something from one of these libs once in a great while, so I can't verify its
integrity for big file transfers. When I need to send or receive anything but a
zipped text file, I nearly always crank up trusty old bullet proof Procomm Plus
in DOS. I've had nothing more than marginal success with Windows comm aps, so I
avoid using them for big files. Procomm never fails… good and stable.
Lots o luck …B.
