I don’t know about this

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I don’t know what you have to do with a graphic to turn a one-page Word document into a 11.5MB monster, but I now do know exactly what happens when someone tries to send two of them attached in one message to a machine running Outlook 2000 and only 128MB of RAM, and it’s not pretty!

I just spent the better part of 45 minutes using my own 512MB RAM-powered machine to download that message and delete it off our ISP’s server so that my user can go back to actually using her email. Nice, there’s time I’m never getting back.

We took lots of pictures, but there’s no wi-fi available from our hotel, only dial-up so uploading pics will probably wait until we get home. After all of the events of last week, it feels good to be away. Now…

    Back at work this morning. We arrived back home last night, so I haven’t had time to get all the pictures moved around and tweaked. We will have some pics from our vacation sometime this week, I would imagine. Angela has some of the details of where we went, what we did, etc. She’s better…
