[QUOTE="chrisdc, post: 344981, member: 14781"] Thanks, i've been thinking about Ubuntu. We did try Gmail and Hotmail but it seemed to be worse because (perhaps a stuff-up my side) you needed to be connected to view mail and photos. The data seems to be stored "out there" somewhere and not on the drive. The signal really comes and goes and it's very frustrating for the folks. I ended up getting our work email service provider to give me an extra address which i gave to them. It's definitely way faster but there's this "get it all or start from the beginning" stupidity built in. Out in the sticks it's a real problem. Eventually the machine becomes totally "constipated" and they have to take it to civilization where it sometimes takes hours to work through the backlog (and updates). If there's another way or if i can set up Gmail differently, i'm willing to give it another try. [/QUOTE]
