As someone who is obviously on the Internet, I would not want to
receive all of my mailings electronically.  The graphics on a computer
screen are not up to the quality of those on the printed page.  Long
articles are hard to read on the screen and a lot of printing gets
expensive.  Also many of us do not have colour printers.

For those who are deciding what should be mailed versus what should be
emailed versus what should be given as a web-site/ftp reference in an
email ask the following questions?
1. Would you want to read it on a 15 in. monitor?
2. How long will it take to download at 14.4?
3. Is speed of distribution important?
4. Is it likely to never be read by a majority of the recipients?

I keep up with several computer news groups plus various transportation
ones and still purchase a large number of magazines.  CD-ROMs and
e-mail are good for some things but not all of the mailings I receive
from CIPS.

I can't afford either Compuserve or Advantis so I have NBnet
community-net here in St. John while on assignment and Istar at home in
Nova Scotia.  800 service is expensive, probably more than ISP rates
plus long-distance on one of discount plans.

The lack of spell checking and grammar checking in E-mail is a blessing and a curse.
