I finally had to learn to use our webmail to wach any more or less domestic mail that might come in, since Maud is not at home but in the moutains and I am at work on the cruise liner. I have not bothered to learn about our webmail before. We have onboard a satelite connection to internet and I can check any mail directed to our home adress. To my pleasure I can read messages from the WGD list also and possibly answer. Well, if you can read this, then it works. Even if it works I will not have too much timew to write answers but can read your inputs now and then when some spare time occures. Modern technology is fantastic! If I ever go to the south pole Í'll have a satelite telephone and a small computer with me and can report about how to train sea lions to point pingvins!

Neat, Torsti. I know folks who fish (seining salmon) out on the Alaska Peninsula (at Chignik) who have a smallish satellite dish onboard their boat and regularly access the internet from there. Several people around here had satellite service (starband.com - ~80 USD per month) until an outfit in Homer across the bay set up a wireless network system. Then some of them switched. The wireless is faster and less expensive than either the satellite or the 'phone company's DSL. I'm still on an agrevating dial-up service but I can see a wirelss access point a mile and a half away from my house - through holes on the spruce forest; but can't yet get communication. I started some time ago working on that - first had to upgrade the old laptop operating system because windows 98 is wireless brain dead and could not consistently deal with the USB wireless adapter I bought. Now windows xp works with it OK but I need to thin some foliage or whole trees to get a link from here. I read most of my email on the ISPs webmail and let it accumulate there until I'm pushing the capacity of the storage they allow me. Then I download it - cleaned of the spam - all at once. Better get to the S. pole soon if you want to see any pinqguins - I understand they are being impacted by all the hot air we spew out here which must be one of the major causes of Global Warming (aside from the natural warming trend of 1/2 degree C per century which has been progressing since the mid 1600s) surpassed only by the outpouring of heat during US political election campaigns.
