You say excellent, I think it is a horrid program. Sorry, I'll just
pass on your (or anyone else's) photos if you use yEnc.

There are other programs, and just let me know when you want jpgs, like
the
ones I have now sent. It isn't too much trouble, but I still don't
understand why you're so set against yEnc.


I'm not against it, but it has little use in newsgroups. Probably 80% of
the readers cannot see them. If you want people to see your work, it is
better to post in the most common format. If that format helps your home
storage or editing, them it makes sense. Otherwise, I see little value in
it.
I will add this comment.

I use several computers. Each one of them has some strict guidelines on
which software can be downloaded on them. It is supposed to help with
standardize some things and cut down on spam and malware. Now, it is
debatable if if is all that effective at those tasks. But if I use anything
else on those computers, I don't work. These guidelines apply to my
personal computers as well since I use them for work as well.

And NONE of these machines run this n sync or yEnc or whatever format.
This insistence on being able to run a lot of standard business software
means that I can not see anything in that format. And of the 50 or
computers I am in contact with nobody can use it.

Sooooo....., whatever fantasy anybody has about this crappy format that
breaks up pictures into a bunch of little pieces is, there are a lot of
folks who either can't or won't mess with it.

If I did, or any of the folks who work with me did, we wouldn't have a job.
Call us old fashioned or whatever. But through steps I and other have
taken, we have very little down time from malware, spam, etc.

In fact, the biggest computer problem we have had in the last year was when
some monitor cables started dying. I had to frantically find a few 10 foot
monitor cables locally and ordered a whole bunch more on the net.
