Hi Ian and all,
Just for my 2c worth, too bad packet HTML was but a passing fad as was
color ASCII. They're not hard to deal with, we had fun with CA mostly
with writing it to begin with, displaying it was easy and done with BASIC
over DOS. HTML is a tad more difficult to write and requires a bit more
learning but still easy to display, the simplest being the browser. I see
so little of it these days but what I do may be classed loosely as art,
especially the anual Christmas greetings from Italy.
As for the whiners, it takes no more "space" than a somewhat verbose text
message and is sent in one part quite unlike that bothersome 7+ that so
many don't know how to compress and send properly. Yeah, they just love
to send high resolution images in so many parts and if but one doesn't
arrive (a common problem) the whole thing is useless garbage. Now if a
small SSTV image can be sent in a couple of minutes in one transmission
why then do some packeteers insist on such overkill? There's MY gripe and
yet another reason why my e-mail address appears below. Uh huh, if you
want you can send a couple of megs to my server and it won't complain a
bit. Or was that a byte or a baud? Yes kiddies, while I frown on mixing
packet with Internet the latter DOES have it's uses, just think of the
possibilities when you keep them separate.
