Slack Chain Letter

[quasi-modo]

No, not really. Do you know how slow 56k really is? 100MB per day.

700MB per CD.
x2 =
1400
/ 100
14

14 Days. Mailing is two.

Phone bills? Hey, might be cheaper too.

a local call to the server you dial is not like long distance. It would still be cheaper. YZes someone mailing the cd stright to you would be faster, but having to wait for one person to get it and him to mail it to someone else who will mail it to you.

To mail a CD would be $.37.  HAVING to have phone service & internet service would be more per day, no?

Phone = $40? a month
Internet = $20? a month
$60? a month is about $2 a day.
Mailing something would take 4 days back & forth? 

4 days mailing = $.74
14 days downloading = $28?

Either way, mailing two full CDs is going to be faster if you use competent mail service, when compared to downloading via a 56k modem.

yay an new generation of chain letters. just what the world needed.... but sorry I think AOL already came up with the idea of spreading inadequate software via snail mail

You act like you are not paying for the phone and internet service anyway.

@ Hostile: Well, those weren't CHAIN letters!
