Active in deed Within seconds after I posted the below, Buzz Bruggeman (he of ActiveWords) came through with a recommendation for latest from Ogg Vorbis, which (I am now predicting) will replace MP3 as the infrastructural default audio compression scheme — simply because, like the rest of the net:::: nobody owns it, everybody can use it, and anybody can improve it. There's no Thomson or Unisys or AOL or Microsoft to insist on providing something for free that it can later "monetize" and "otherwise" leverage to its advantage. I think we are starting to witness the economics of altruism. Now it really gets cool. An E-peal for help We remain, except for this Linux box, clientless through Tuesday while we're surrounded by half-filled boxes, filth and chaos. Meanwhile, Joyce and I both need to be able to get at our our regular email accounts, preferably through a browser-based system that allows us to leave mail on the server. I used to use Mailstart.com for this, but they've turned into a fee-based service that only works with Windows clients. I've also used Hotmail and hate it because each it looks again at everything that's accumulated on the server for each session, and you have to page through all of it every time, starting at the top (or that's the way it used to be, anyway). I get around 300 emails a day, and there must be around a thousand in the queue on the server right now. If you have any ideas, please recommend something at Discuss below, or by emailing to this temporary Web address: dsearls@popmail.com. Thanks a heap everybody. There are responses to this message:
