John Mottl, and all,
As a long time user of Juno email, and then Juno Web, I can assure you
that Juno does accept attached files, as I have experienced many times.
Just thought I'd clarify that. And yes, it is free. David McDonald

The power of the market place. If juno won't work with attached files,
there are now many sites that offer free email boxes on the interent that do
work with email. Most of the major web portals offer this service for free.
I know, I have two such accounts and they both handle attachments and they
are both free. If enough people complain to juno maybe they will get the
hint or if enough people leave juno, it won't matter anyway for they will be
outta business.

There is always a way to get something to work, sometimes it is free other
times it has a cost, but it almost always is worth the cost. Those of you
with old slow systems, with slow modems, actually pay more to operate then
those with newer systems and faster modems. There are many moderatly priced
systems on the martket today that will more than service the needs of any of
you. You don't need or want the latest and greatest, don't let the ads fool
you. A pentium system when compare to any 396 or 486 is incredably faster
and with a 56k v90 modem will save you money on connect times. This is both
the sending and the recieveing, but also the processing of the data as it
comes and goes. It also saves you some time when your working offline.

I have been in this industry before the PC existed, and when the PC arrived
I saw the value in it and moved my career to it. My first real system cost
me $3,000.00. I saved my pennies to buy it. Now for less than a third of
that cost I can buy a machine that is many many times faster and better.
In my time working in this field, I have seen the hardware get better,
faster, and much easier to work with. The software to is greatly improved.
When I first looked at Windows 2.0, I thought you would have to be crazy to
want to work with it. Now, Windows drives the indusrty and for good
reasons.

So if your system won't let you see attachments, then upgrade. (your way
past due)

I really hope we do not permit attachments on this list.
Then the list cannot be blamed for spreading viruses.
By all means, let us know of web sites where pictures etc can be down
loaded, but any attachment from a person I do not know and have not asked
for is automatically deleted, unopened.
