     Hi All,


     I'd totally back Tristan up on this one.

     I've been using Corpex for a few years, or so, now and att he 

beginning I was constantly binning perhaps 75% of my mail because it was 

useless.

     Thanks to all the hard work @ Corpex I now get about 75% of USEFUL 

mail.

     Only downside is that I sometimes have to wait around 30 minutes to 

receive mail.

     This isn't usually a problem but I sometimes rely on messages 

getting through instantly, live radio link-ups etc.


     Couldn't we just all switch to video-conferencing with pin numbers 

and bar codes ?

     Now, surely _all_ ISPs would back this and give us free cable modems 

and online time 24hrs a day !!!
