It's supposed to be, it's a Portable Document File, P.D.F. and that's what
I am doing, sending a PDF. and 50x to 100x would be 50K to 1,000K so your
numbers don't blow out.

So it takes a while to pull it down, so what? Go read a webpage while you
wait. I'd rather be selling to the future instead of worrying about the
diminishing dial up marketplace anyway.

This is techie is talk not reality. People aren't going to sit around and
be educated over an email program, that's why unencrypted messaging remains
unencrypted for no good reason. It's not about a simple education that is
simple for you, difficult for me, it's damn near impossible for the general
public.
