Subject: [alt-beam] Re: comp.robotics.beam??
I still feel that the list, as it is, is a very good medium. ANYONE can get
e-mail access, even if they don't have their own computer. It might not be
convenient, but it works. Not everyone has access to newsgroups. I personaly
have yet to realy use one. Is it realy wise to make the move, if it would cut
some of the readers off.
My question is will I be able to just leave the messages on my computer that I
want to keep, Like the e-mail in Netscape does, or would I actualy have to
manualy save messages manualy. I suppose it would be tolerable on My new G3, but
this thing is SL...
...OW. I still don't like the idea of that. It's a shame I donn't have a 24 hour
connection, cause those G3 can be used as servers! I'd put up my OWN server with
my OWN web page, and not some limited xoom or geocities free page. I' have no
problem with xoom though. It's a good place to put may page. They also make you
use FTP, and not let you take the "easy editor" way out. It FORCES me to keep a
backup on my computer and not just update online. I've lost parts of my page in
the past! Later!
