Hi Ward,

That's pretty normal all in all.  I remember installing Linux, BBBS and a
myriad of support programs overnight as well - actually that time it took me
about 4 or 5 hours.

It depends on the situation I suppose.

Why are you wondering that?  Are you also obsessing over Jon and his system?
Like Michiel, you also can easily verify any one or all of my statements.

Why would I put his "mail" on Hold? Jon doesn't pick up any mail here, he gets
his traffic from someone in his region I believe or one of his friends.  Your
connection here affected my mailer visibly.  His never does.

>With all due respect, Janis, and I admire your loyalty to Jon but it's a pharc

You don't spell farce like Pharisees, pharmacy or pharyngeal. Just a heads up.

I doubt that, but I can see how those among us with psychological degrees might
write a paper regarding your's and Michiel's anal obsessive-compulsive interest
in the matter... and while  I'm suppose Jon might be laughing that you are so
concerned about his welfare,  I find it very strange as to the degree of that
concern... almost "unhealthy" as it were.

Take care,
Janis
