    When family wants my attention, someone opens the breaker for my apartment. Nasty, but the UPS lets me keep the data. Me2 had Compuserve (73477.1715) at 300 baud. I could actually read it as it scrolled into the 3x5" display on my portable Commode-Door (Commodore) machine. :doh: Raevn

      the number of emails in the CodeProject folder (3112) exceeds the number in the Inbox (1148). :-D Yes, I really should clean them out, but it's so tedious! I never formed the habit of deleted messages after reading them back when the Internet was new. :sigh:

        213 out of 652 - I'm alright. Probably a lot more at my old email address though. PS: I created a CodeProject folder (label actually-gmail) just for this thread.

          "thousands" out of 12k and change in my gmail account. I can't do better until I get home. OTOH my other gmail account: 1 - 50 of 381546 You are currently using 4160 MB (57%) of your 7271 MB. :cool:

                Nope that's several years (since feb 05) of snarfing all the posts to Baen's Bar.[^] I typically use the NNTP feed to read posts, but gmail's got a better search function than my client. Peak traffic (typically following a new David Weber book) has hit the 1000 post/day range. Normal traffic is only about 1/4th to 1/3rd of that.

                  Gmail frustrates the heck out of me. :) I meant more as in clients for email. If I had my dream email client/server it would have a lot of different ways to 'view' my emails with easier to use filters, would keep my email on the server and cache it locally (but do it a lot better than exchange server does), allow me to see even the deepest technical details of a raw email, etc. the list goes on

                    I'm honored! :-D Really, it's grown beyond all expectations. You'd think, after all these years, I'd be able to tell in advance when a topic will generate huge interest. But I'm still surprised every time I post something I expect to generate two responses ends up a page-long thread.
