Dr.D.: I got mail from Ron saying he wasn't coming. rich-c: right, he was absent last imte I wass on, too Pamela: yes, we got yours too Dr.D.: Well...there are 2 versions, lo and hi bandwidth. Pamela: in other words, huge : ) BobS: do we HAVE to download it ??????? can't we just look at ti ????? Dr.D.: Well yes you can look at it...but each page has lots of photos. Dr.D.: Ergo "download". rich-c: as long as you have an 80 gig hardd disc, of course ;-) Harvie: If you look at it you are downloading it Dr.D.: Not size so much as bandwidth if you are on dialup. Pamela: so what you're telling me is, I'll be here all night Dr.D.: I can download the pages in about 3 minutes each over DSL at home. Dr.D.: Well, I dunno. rich-c: unless I get a chance to capture it and put it on a CD for you Dr.D.: Well Meeka has the entire originals I gave her at the convention :-) BobS: but with about 41000k...........an hour each page???? Pamela: I'll have to attempt to view them at work then, where I have a fighting chance of seeing them in this century Dr.D.: No, don't think so. Dr.D.: Oh goodness, just start a dl. Dr.D.: Each photo is 8-11 K in size. Dr.D.: Very small,. Dr.D.: But each day's webpage has about 90 photos. Judy: She has been gone, watching her brother Dr.D.: I took lots of photos. rich-c: that's the low bandwidth version, right? Dr.D.: Yes. The hi-bandwidth version is about 25K per photo. Pamela: who's watching her brother? Meeka? Watching him do what? Dr.D.: Of course, you can click on each thumbnail to dl the 350K original 11xx by 8xx versions. Judy: staying with him while her parents are gone, he is quite a bit younger than she is Pamela: ahhhh Dr.D.: I think Richard already looked at them...I saw a tamcotec connection in my logs. Harvie: Twas I Pamela: no, I think that was Harvie, right? Dr.D.: Ah, you were choice #2. rich-c: just a quick peek to see wht was there, didn't have time to really look Dr.D.: So how long did it take? Dr.D.: (to Harvie) rich-c: but Tamco can be me or Pam or Harvie Harvie: Story of my life Dr.D.: (I wasn't trying to razz you, Harvie) Pamela: I think "guess" would be a better phrasing, Rich : ) Dr.D.: I knew of only 2 tamcotecs, you and Richard. Pamela: and me! Dr.D.: I figured it was Richard since he was dying to be at the convention. Harvie: I only looked at a few photos, web was slow at the time Dr.D.: But the timestamp was during early afternoon, you are at work, Pam. rich-c: well, basically half his cutomer list must be my buddies or their derivatives Pamela: theoretically, anyway : ) Dr.D.: Hehe, a family tree. Dr.D.: Yes, you could have been playing hookie. rich-c: yes, like Pam might ask me on behalf of a buddy at work Dr.D.: But you are so new in your job I didn't think it likely. Pamela: nah, I'm a good girl : ) Dr.D.: So I thought. rich-c: or we tell a fellow Smiga user about it and he logs in and tells his buddies... Pamela: and so on, and so on, and so on . . . Dr.D.: brb Pamela: remind me to tell Kimberly about . . . about . . . is it Ernie or Golan, Dad? rich-c: more student interrupts, I guess Harvie: It's nice to have an ISP that knows you by name and knows something about networking rich-c: hey, John even recognizes my voice - though call display does help rich-c: it's Golan, Pam - don't know where Ernie went Pamela: okay Pamela: I'm seeing her Friday night -will tell her then Pamela: (note to self) rich-c: when it comes to call display, have you used Royal Taxi lately? Pamela: no, why? rich-c: they know your address and your preferences Harvie: The irony of it is he's on Rogers, can't get DSL at his house Pamela: I like Kingsboro rich-c: with me, they know to send a larger car with lots of room for my duff leg Pamela: John is on Rogers?????????????? rich-c: yes, up in Orillia Pamela: you're right, that's irony for you : ) rich-c: remember any ISP buys bandwidth from a wholesaler rich-c: in fact John recently changed his supplier from Sprint to Bell Pamela: re: Royal, Dad - they probably have a good computer system and track their calls rich-c: they do - call display feeds into it rich-c: they have some pretty sharp dispatchers, too Pamela: do you have any idea why John switched? rich-c: he wasn't happy with Sprint's performance Pamela: a good dispatcher, like a good receptionist, is worth his/her weight in gold rich-c: yes, they're teh front line of customer service Pamela: I had someone call me amazing today
(Pamela blushes) BobS: you ARE Pamela Harvie: Bob , how is your leg? rich-c: not the word I would use, but comparatively your skills are a long way above the average Judy: that was a good feeling wasn't it , Pam? Pamela: well, I solved a complicated problem for her last week with a minimum of fuss, and she appreciated it Judy: good for you Pamela: it is a good feeling Judy - it's nice to be appreciated once in a while rich-c: ah, OK, I guess teh choice of word was apperopriate, then BobS: leg is ok Harvie.......was doing good but I was on it too omuch yesterday I guess and it was quite sore today rich-c: yor leg acting up too, Bob?
