[Newspoetry] Big Files

[Dirk Stratton]

Dear Newspoets:

mea culpa, mea culpa: it will never happen again. i, too, have a 
relatively wimpy computer and an awful internet connection and huge 
files have bollixed up my system more than once. in fact, the huge 
file i sent to the newspoetry group screwed up my machine when i 
received it back. i have two excuses, both bad. first, i didn't have 
Joe's (may he be ever be blessed and revered) individual e-mail 
address on my machine and even though he really was the only one who 
needed the .jpegs, i thought what the heck. second, having never sent 
an attachment like that before, i had no idea how large it was and 
what that meant as far as reception, etc. 10K, 100K, 1000K??? they're 
just abstract numbers to me, i have no idea really what they 
represent.
but i have learned my lesson and have repented. my humble apologies 
to everyone whose mailbox i stuffed.
