iosubsys problem


lol Didn't really know how long the thread had got as I tend to only
keep my ng posts for a couple of days g


I find "NoelDP (at the pub)" so informative.

Which is why I replied that I knew the pub shouldn't have come into the
equation g

To answer Shane I don't leave OE running as I use Mailwasher to get my
emails in first so the option in OE to check every so many minutes for
mail has to be switched off.

Default OT: Noel's Plastered (oops mean plaster)...(No I'm not!)

So - I'm now immortalised in Google as being Plastered!

WRT Messenger/OE, with Messenger it has the advantage that known contacts
can see if you're online (assuming you remember to set your status!), and
therefore know whether they might expect a speedy response, or not.
Nothing to prevent you ignoring the attempted contact until you're ready,
though

I forgot about Google, sorry, you know I was only teasing.

Steven used to use Messenger a lot on the old 98 but I never really saw
the need for it myself so never actually set it running on this machine
and don't know if I can be bothered too, I'll have to think about that g

You do appreciate it's specifically wrt Messenger I ask. Anyway, I junked my
earlier accounts and only use the current isp and gmail one and get
virtually zero spam now, Joan. I used to rely on Spambayes but now use
nothing. Basically - apart from one addy I've never publicised - this is
down to how Google handles spam! Its probably the world's most spam-aware
organisation there is! That, 2G of space, and being able to access it from
anywhere makes it the e-mail server of choice today, I reckon.

Of course, it would blow up in one's face if it became the *only* e-mail
server - then stopped accepting anything encrypted! I'm sure that's what the
Government would want...

Right. I do now see that the value one places on Messenger depends on
whether one is trying to minimise ones computer use or not.

It's not *Google* Noel uses, Joan. It's *Gargle*!

I do have a gmail account but very rarely use it, in fact I have several
email accounts.
I have three ISP email accounts plus hotmail, gmail and yahoo plus my
mobile email addy g
I subscribe to a few newsletters as well so can keep a check on whats on
the servers before bringing it into OE.

PS: I do know you junked your accounts because you told me it was just by
chance you got the photo's I sent you g

Actually, I think "Google" and "gargle" should be replaced with "guzzle."
