Hi all,
Original message:
lol i agree d00d :-)
Dude? Hmmm, I think it should be dudette.
Seriously, though, that is a good rule of thumb. I once was a student
of, and am now instructing at, an academy which teaches blind people how
to use computers, both inside and out, as well as networking and other
concepts, and in the chapter I'm lecturing on now, one thing they say is
to respect people's time and bandwidth.
Yes, I think we Americans do have an insular view of the world. That's
going to change when many people are getting their email via their cell
phones. We don't have ISP's for our home computers which limit our
band width, but AT&T and Verizon now do this as a matter of course for
their cell phone customers. <smiling> That's why some parents are
screaming bloody murder when their children use cell phones on the
family plan and they get these huge bills! the kids just don't know or
won't know that band width is something they have to pay attention to.
Americans need to quit being prideful and insular and wake up to what's
going on in the whole world as well as in their own country.
