He couldn't send a Word doc so I asked him how big it was. Cmr: 8 pages Me: No in Kilobytes (explains how to browse to it) Cmr: It's only 8 pages with one picture per page Me: *lightbulb* 'pictures??' OK how big is it in Kilobytes? Cmr: 32xxx [I don't recall the exact figure :)] Me: 32 *thousand* K? Cmr: Yes why won't it send it's only 8 pages! Me: *head->desk moment* Your computer doesn't *work* in pages..... *explanation of how it DOES work ensues with slightly caustic comment that perhaps it would be faster to post the document than email it* Ended up pointing out that the recipient probably didn't have a 32 Megabyte mailbox anyway so it would a) bounce b) kill the recipient's mailbox c) annoy a lot of people.
