<DIV><BR></DIV>Larry, those are lots of just one clicks. And how about the
time it takes to load your browser, then load the PTG website, then several
more one clicks to get the list and a few more one clicks start or reply to a
message.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I can post or reply to the old list in one click after a couple of second
to open my mail client. How long does it take you to do all that you
described, from the time your computer is up and running? Give me a break,
let's argue real facts with real facts. Not a bunch of hypothetical one
clicks. Clicks are fast. The problem is how many does it take and how long do
you need to wait after each click. Let's get real here.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The old list is faster, more efficient and easier to use. How could you
possible argue that fact!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I’ve certainly not had any of these problems. I
don’t understand the issues here. I recently posted an archival
quality post regarding access to the action cavity on grand pianos that have
the PianoDisc record feature installed. It took me under a half an
hour and includes four images. I haven’t posted it to this list
because I don’t remember how to include images. I could get started
and figure it all out once again, but I feel once is enough. As much
as I’d enjoy making the common process of accessing a grand action something
you can do with prior knowledge, I don’t feel I need to provide the
information twice when the first time is totally accessible to any member of
the guild.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As for having to sign in, ..........
one click and I’m in looking at the page with all the posts of the last day
or two. My computer signs in automatically for me. I see
the listing in my email’s index and when I open the email, I’m in the web
based PTG technical discussion ready to use all the wonderful features of
the system. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One click and I’m ready to start typing a response to
a particular thread (“discussion”). One click and I can see what I or
anyone else has posted over time. I recently changed my past posting
to make the information correct as can be. I find the new system to be
SO easy to use ............ </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>To respond to this discussion I had to cut and past
the subject into the subject line, and I had to cut and past the above
included quote. </FONT></DIV>
