Art Tour [Ed. Theresa DuBois (who will be at the November meeting) sends out regular updates WCCA matters of interest to the community. The following is an example of one of the items, which was too late for the newsletter.] Art Tour Date Rescheduled The previously announced tour date to see the $4 million art program at the new convention center has been cancelled. The next FREE public art tours are at 12:00 Noon on Friday, November 12th and Wednesday, December 1st. All tour participants must be confirmed in advance. Please call the 24-hour WCCA Community Hotline at (202) 249-3200 to reserve your space. Ms. DuBois writes: If someone you know would like to be added to the WCCA e-mail/fax distribution or U.S. Postal mailing list, please contact Theresa DuBois, WCCA Manager of Community Relations, at tdubois@dcconvention.com or (202) 249-3042. [Ed. The editor does not forward to the Blagden EMail list or give it out, so you'll have to contact Ms. DuBois yourself. He figures one email a month (roughly) per institutional sender is about at the limit of human endurance.] |

Minor Rant This doesn't apply to most people, but: EMails with fancy attachments, such as 100 page PDF files, or even short Micro$oft Word documents, take a lot of space, and take a long time to receive, especially for those of us Neanderthals with dial-up lines. Those behemoths can easily take half a megabyte to store on the receiver's e-mail server and take a very long time to download. If one's ISP allows 10MB for email storage, they can get unhappy quickly is one gets many of these. People in offices with internal netweorks don't know they are sending monsters, but those of us with old-fashioned phone lines with simple modems sure feel it.
