[Color Computer] Re: [coco] MESS

[George Ramsower]

Everyone!!

 I think that we are not all getting our messages in the order they were 
sent. Maybe?
 Today, I noticed that an email I sent around 6pm Central didn't get echoed 
back to me until 7:05pm. It took a little over an hour.
 Then, the next one I sent took a little over 45 minutes. The next one I 
sent took only a few minutes.

 Rush hour, yes?

 Anyway, I think we should look at all the posts on this subject, the time 
sent, and then figure out what was going on. We are getting confused 
here(including me).

 I've since sorted my email by the Sent column and it all makes sense now. I 
used to have it sorted by Received.

 I wish I COULD have offered more info. It wasn't there. Only a dialog box 
with a button to close it that claimed that the file could not be found.
 If it had offered more information, I might have learned of the information 
you offered earlier. Alas, it didn't offer any more information than that.

 You know the old saying...
 "The more I learn, the more I find out I didn't know"

 I cannot ask questions about something I know nothing about execpt...

 "What does it do and how do I work this thing?"

 I apologize for not knowing what questions to answer when I didn't know the 
questions.
