Aaha. There's where we Indians have caught up with the yanks. In our
case, however, it earlier (Nov), when we have Deepawali. .jpeg & .mpeg of
lamps shining doen the Ganges. I enclose a mail sent by me every year to
staff in our office:

Subject: Happy Diwali to you, too

We are nearly at that time of the year when the urge to mail large files
