Well now, that was a list of negatives ;)
Seems quicker to retrieve a binary (image, zip, etc) than what
Netscape did. I had a usual transfer rate of 100 to a few hundred
bytes while on Netscape.
Outlook Express 5 isn't showing me a byte rate (not sure it can) but
overall it is a comprehensive enough program for me, moreso than
Netscape 4.61 was anyhow.
P.S. just the signature part alone is better, it will not place into
replies if you don't want.

But that part is optinal anyway. If you don't choose a sig file then no sig
is attached. I got tired of signing my name and copying my link all of the
time so I find the automatic insertion a very handy feature.

O.T. I go: Alas, I meant that the signature may continue to go into
original message posts but not into any replies to messages if you
choose that to be the case.
You may already have noticed I am doing that now (or noticed not)
because omniVERSE is stated in my New Message posts, for these replies
I just type "Bob" myself  ;)

To put this thread back on topic, and in case anyone hasn't looked for
a while or newcomers want to apply to have their location mapped, the
most recent incarnation of the world of pov-ray users is still at:

 http://members.aol.com/wrld0rigin/povwrldjpg.htm       (zero in
0rigin)

And to get to the latest list of "inhabitants" click on the title
there. To get to the submission page click on a globe anywhere but
North America, Europe or Australia regions. To see my beyond humble
homepage try my name/date, nothing to lose but your valuable time.

P.S. if you don't see 99.64 there, press Reload or refresh for your
browser. Thankyou again all.

Bob
