List:
I understand about overhead and cost
I have a brief experience with the M S A list
it is definitely a smaller group
I don't know if there is an associated archive
I don't know much about this list serve issue
But it seems like the rules are different over there
except for being the " death row" of neurological disorders
maybe Pam Bowers could say something about this issue
she has the experience with that group
I am sure there are others here also
but, it seems that computer ( server ) capacity has increased quite a
bit lately
my own personal computer has excess capacity
and receives messages daily from 3 list serves, several Digests,
as well as dozens of Journal reports and alerts,
and even some personal messages from friends.
I think alternatives are possible.
It might be a trade-off of resources.
of course, if we stick strictly to text mode
there is less chance of opening messages with Viruses
and it doesn't take much space,
millions of pages can be archived nowadays on a DVD
that costs $10.00 and holds nearly 10 gigabytes
I can't even imagine the capacity of industrial server hard drives
whew... drifting back to earth
lets stay open to possibilities
I should get off my duff and talk to some of my friends in
computer science at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
I know the people who run Computing Services,
some teach classes and also run an Internet business downtown.
the hardware resources might be available
but personnel may not be open to taking on one more project.
Well, I've wasted enough bandwidth for now.
good night
