Trindy Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 This morning, I am trying to access my e-mail on my dialup connection, but my messages are being held up by the exceptionally long time it's taking to download the first message, which I know nothing about other than that it's titled "Well it ain't the Raspberries..." This leads me to believe that someone most likely on EC.com sent me an unsolicited MP3 of...something.That's really nice, but the trouble is, for those of us who don't have high-speed connections, downloading MP3s takes a lot of time and holds up everything else in the mailbox.From now on, anyone who'd like to send me an MP3, would you please ask first? Thanks. I'd sure appreciate it. Not meaning to be cranky, but it's frustrating when the first message in your mailbox is so huge that it's taking forever to download and you can't skip it to get to the rest.

marvin Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 It was a very rough (short) video of my 6 1/2 yr old son and me doing a bit of "Drift Away." I apologize to those who whose computers I bogged down.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I have dial up, too...but for some reason, it downloaded quickly for me. It's an adorablevideo !! Marvin, your son is just too cute ! Thanks, Marlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Actually, Marvin, I downloaded it, but forgot to watch it -- he IS very cute -- you are breeding a "Dobie" Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 At the risk of sounding biased, you should hear the daughter/son duet on "I Wanna Be With You." Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggsherby Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Trindy...once you go high speed, you'll never go back. I's like cable vs rabbit ear antenna's It's like an AM transitor radio vs a stereo systemIt's like a Black and White TV vs. a Hi Def Plasma TV. You get the ideal, anyone else have some more comparisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Too late for putting it together tonight. Maybe tomorrow night.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Oh my gosh, it's a VIDEO...no wonder it's taking so long.Harry, I'm sure once I get high-speed this will be no problem, but then again, not everyone can afford it. (I probably can, but I'm not everybody.) Also, I still don't have it now, and it can be a mistake to assume that everyone else either has it or can afford to get it.Thanks for understanding, Marvin, because I'm sure the video is adorable, but right now it's holding up my entire mailbox and I don't know who might be trying to reach me with what. (I've been trying to work on a kind of important project at home for the last little while. No, it's not a work project--luckily, I have separate access to my work account through their Web site. It's just that being able to get to my home email has been of high importance to me lately.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Trindy, in your mail program, maybe you have a mailbox setting that asks to automatically download attachments, and maybe it is checked. I think you may want to uncheck that option, and manually download attachments when you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Coming tonight to your computer screen: Evan and Cara do "I Wanna Be With You." Hmmm...do they have to pay royalty fees??I won't send it out unless you say it's ok to do so. Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 The recording is done, but the children wanted to sing a verse and a chorus so the file is huge. By the way, try to picture a 7yr old and a 3 1/2 yr old singing "If we were older, we wouldn't have to be worried tonight."Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
