heelllooooo :) you know it's gonna be a good day when you sit down at the computer, turn it on, then turn on the radio only to hear "underwhelmed" starting at the exact moment you turn it on... yipeeeee :) (now i'm partially deaf cuz i pumped up the volume really loud.. *oops*)
when i saw the idea of a newsgroup, i immediately cringed. and here are the reasons why i cringe... 1. my service does not provide full internet access, since this is a free service. so 2 of us on this list would suffer (unless the other party knows something that i don't... fess up!) 2. i have full internet access at university, but for some reason, everytime i try responding to something or post something to a newsgroup, the computer immediately fu.. er, i mean, screws up ;) (help!) 3. to me, a newsgroup seems pretty impersonal, whereas with this system, it feels like a big happy family :) 4. i wouldn't get any e-mail 5. it's easier to store messages that are already in my mailbox .and i'm sure i have a few more reasons that i can't think of.. of course, there are the perks of having a newsgroup, since it's accessable to a wider bunch of people, and it doesn't take up mailbox space (memory)... well, that's my $0.02. ...sizzle teen [going through net-addiction therapy ;) ] p.s. WHY was it no surprise when i heard that criss smurfi is the temp drummer for jale??? :) (you could still get the job, alex!)
