[Leica] "a few years" for digital pix + solving E-mail delivery

[Thinkofcole at aol.com (Thinkofcole@aol.com)]

    B.D. Colen properly asks how long a life for digital pix is "a few 
years." When I talked with a Wisconsin dealer on Thursday he mentioned something 
like eight or 10 years vs over a hundred years so far for traditional photos.    
    Because I was listening rather than taking notes I don't remember the 
exact number but it was surely less than 10 years. He was talking about both cd's 
and prints.
   You guys are really pick nitters; I purposely said "a few years" rather 
than be more precise to avoid a correction. 
   As to some LUGers not receiving some e-mail messages, I'd check whether 
you are using either McAfee or Norton programs, which can block certain messages 
from getting through. I'd also check my pop-up blocker.
   Also, when I was having trouble receiving E-mail from a leading media 
organization, I reported it to them and they worked it out within their own 
organization and I don't know who else but now the e-mails are being delivered. [To 
help correct the problem, I also sent the e-mail sender copies of non-delivery 
messages I got on their stuff.]  I'd also check regularly in your Spam file; 
some e-mail stuff often lands there. -- bob cole
