For a second there, my mind inserted Tom's name instead of Steve's.
Tom as a Sex Pistol? Heh. Tommy Rotten? [giggle]

Another approach is to check these archives:

If the list is truly down (which has happened at least once this year) the
lack of recent posts should be obvious.

if i knew now how big a pain vista would be, i would have purchased a mac, in

In your next email you mention using eudora. I'm wondering what sort of

problems at all with it. I'm wondering if part of the problems you may be
experiencing could be related to software not updated for Vista? Eudora is

amount of time? How often do you have to access archived data as opposed to
current data, or do you access it as opposed to just store it?

About 15-20GB every 2-3 months. This will probably increase to about 20-25GB
over the next few months, as several new projects will be starting.
Some archived files get accessed every few weeks. The idea was to take the
stress off the network drives (the largest of which is 700GB), but still

Two solutions. One, just wait until someone else starts a new thread.

About 2-3 years ago, I worked on a proposal for Gov't Printing Office.

Clarification: I had tried both of these suggestions, prior to sending out a
