It took a book

When an image must be selected for upload and it has one of those unmemorable names (e.g., image12647 or photo3275 or MyJam2998 or the like) and the choice is to browse, it's so much easier to find the file or files by changing the setting from "detail" or whatever to "thumbnail." This particular library book also confirms what I had long suspected. On a dial-up connection, the farther the computer modem is from the telephone, the slower the downloads and uploads. So it really is true that it's faster to have just a short tape between the phone jack and the computer (within ten feet is said to be best) than it is to run tape connected to tape connected to tape from the jack to a computer four rooms away.
