Ouch! :/ I have a friend (who lives in Spain now) that I can't send
images or anything of any size, so I get it. Those of us on broadband
get so used to sending to others on broadband, we forget how limited

get to my email via the internet because some files would go on
literally forever downloading over the phone line.
