What was it like the the first time?

You can view the archives here: ticalc.org/community/newsletter/

That would give you a good sense of what it was like...I particularly enjoy the interviews :-)

hey, uh, I guess since my news suggestion was...ignored... this is my best chance at publicity. I've set up a Google groups2 under the name of ticalcs and it can be found at the Web Site link above. Kerm has also made a doorsCS group2, so you might want to check it out, at least to have a chance to sign up for something google :)

Thanks for that plug! Yeah, it does seem pretty neat.

Certainly!

Yeah, it sounds like it would be worth reading. I mostly program in Java now, but I like to keep up-to-date on the new games and stuff still.

Of course I would.

I was wondering when it would come back. I enjoyed reading the newsletters.

w00t! 51)(7h p057! w00h00! j/k...I read a few of the news letters the last time they were started up again, but when I subscribed to them through email (I was hoping to not have to look them up every month), I didn't receive them again. I looked in the archives about 2 mos. later only to find that they had been cancelled again. I think I would read them again if they came out, but maybe not, because I've been pretty busy lately. I just got a job, and now, compared to my previous 1 or 2 times a day visits, I only come here about once a week ;(

It would be a once a month thing, though, and I believe that if you had subscribed to them via E-mail, you would be able to continue receiving them if it's started up again.

I'll definitely read 'em! But... my mailbox may be too full for them to fit. I'm currently using 113% of my storage space for Yahoo! Mail. :-D

How do you pull off 113%? Do you pay, or use the free one? What's up with that?

Well, you see, Yahoo gives you 6.0MB of space (they may have changed that to 4.0 by now, but I have 6). You're allowed to go up to 7.0 before they start blocking your incoming mail. I'm at 6.7 or something (you do the math), so I have just a little bit before I'm forced to delete stuff :'(

Lucky! You have one of those acc'ts that's "grandfathered in".

Well I did it get three years ago, I think. That would explain it :)

Why don't you just delete old messages? That's what I do (even though I have Outlook Express)

awhile ago, I had 3000+ emails. It's actually in my slashdot profile as a record. Btw, I use adephia and our family architecture had 15mb of unallocated storage that nobody can use :)

I'm too lazy. I mean, I have over 3000 messages in there. It would take forever. And some I do want to keep, so filtering through them all would really be a pain. I will delete some once my quota is full (117%, I think).

Get something like Mozilla Thunderbird or Outlook express and transfer all of your emails to your computer for storage. It frees up your inbox and your emails will never get deleted.

How do you do that? Would I have to foward each message separately or is there a better way? This is good news...

Get YahooPOPs. It allows you to use Yahoo! webmail with any POP3/SMTP email program (ie, Outlook Express). I use it, and it's just a little slow while it logs in. Doesn't use much memory while it's just sitting there, either.

Oh yeah, the URL: http://yahoopops.sf.net/

Thanks! I'll have to check this out. The only thing is, I think outlook is evil, and I don't trust it. But I think I'll go for it anyway. 115% of my space used up isn't fun (haha, it's 115% now).
