Wirt, Sounds, like snail mail would beat email in this case hehehe :) Art "Why do I bother with a mailbox at my house??? " Bahrs hehe :) >>> WirtAtmar <[log in to unmask]> 11/01/97 04:20pm >>> Just out of curiosity, I often look at the original transmission date and compare it to my reception date. Vlad's message now has the honor of taking the longest time to get to me of any e-mail that I've yet to receive (but only by one day; the previous record was 7.5 days -- and a great deal of it is taking four or five days). His date of origination was: > Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 22:33:00 -0400 while my date of reception was: > Date: 97-11-01 18:50:41 -0400 thus making the time-in-transit of his e-mail message, 8 days, 20 hours, 17 minutes, 41 seconds -- a new record. This new age of instantaneous electronic communication is beginning to make the US Post Office look good. Wirt Atmar
