Hi Marhsa,
Sorry to nag, but Lawrence is quite right. This cost me an hour to download, an
hour of a blocked phone line and sitting in front of the computer, wondering
what on earth this could be (by 5MB I began to hope for a nice fat translation
contract), and $1.20 of connection time.
A much better way to disseminate the information is write a short description
and then to send it out by request or to make it available for download.
Lawrence has installed a great upload/download facility at our alt.permaculture
website http://metalab.unc.edu/permaculture-online/index.html at

Also pictures in a Word document tend to tremendously inflate the file size.
Zipping would have been called for, or a simple text format and separate lower
resolution pics.
Having said all that, I'm looking forward to reading the stuff, the pics look
great.
Slán,
Ute
