It's not so much the getting it to her part. It's, I have a dial-up connection and have a set max limit to the outgoing file size I can send.

So, I have to edit the image down to a sendable size before I do so. And that's if the 'puter agrees to let me see it in the first place. (The better the scan quality, the more memory it takes to view it...)

So, coupled with the internet connection I have to deal with.. it gets frustrating. Then to hear the local broa-band providers excuses as to why there's broadband a quarter mile down the road on either side of me, but not here.... Makes one's blood boil. Makes me hear teh song "Seeing Red" by the band "Chevelle".

The best excuse yet was, froma cable company, "We don't see a demand for it there."
Umm... If it was available, wouldn't there be a demand?
The next one was from teh phone company, "The infra-structure just can't handle it." (This is after they upgraded the phonelines to digital here... so DSL SHOULD be available.. but....

No virgies? Garn! Guess I'll have to go and melt someone's mind again.

I'm not sure who your line providers are in Kentothe, but if dsl capabilities exist to your home these guys will find it for you. Expect to get offers of a couple of free months' service, free printers, installation, modems, etc by email. The very best of luck with resolving a crappy situation.
