Re: Hotmail bounces & digital camera question

["Drummond Howard" <drummondhoward at hotmail_com>]

I know I am missing mail, but it's usually not very much and as far as i can 
tell, only from e-mail lists.  I know they don't like them at all.  Recently 
there must have been a big problem, it was taking 2 to 12 hours to receive 
test messages I sent from work.

The problem with bounced messages due to full mailboxes is possible.  
Hotmail strictly limits space on free accounts and as soon as you reach your 
limit they start bouncing your mail.  If they miss a day or two, it can fill 
your mailbox.  The killietalk messages are pretty small, but all the adult 
spam with graphic pictures really eats up space.  It's easy to delete, but 
you have to check it at least once a day.

I have a MSN account, but I refuse to use it as they require you to install 
MSN explorer to access it.  I've fixed too many computers with that 
particular virus to even consider installing it on my computer.
Of course, as soon as my contract runs out I'm dumping my MSN account 
anyway.  They just aren't very friendly or helpfull, ***In my opinion***

Closer to a fish topic, does anyone know of a fairly good digital camera 
that they make a waterproof housing for?  It would be nice to get some good 
pictures of native killies in their natural environment.  I like the specs 
on the Nikon D1x & D1H, but at $4000 for just the body, I'll have to pass 
till I get that big winning lottery ticket.
