First thing must be: CONGRATULATIONS! Mixed with sympathy to Collette.

Not sure if these are your first; if so, small suggestion: It's a long race,
watch that you don't wear yourselves out too early. Somebody offers help, TAKE
IT!
As for the attachment, such excitement is expected and forgiven. Please assume
Alan's comments are less taking you to task, as you obviously have been clued
in, but to explain to the others who, like him and me, so delight in the
wonder of the little 'uns. Warbead's problems show that the 'no attachment'
policy is appropriate for the list.
Glenn, you missed something special! Damn Juno!

Affirmative. We had our first nearly 3 years ago. We're in our 40's, and
I'd dorgotten what it was like to average 3-4 hours sleep/night for
months on end.

I should have emphasised that there's nothing to forgive. I just want to make
sure that everyone who you sent the pix to actually gets to read them.

NOT INTENDED! Sorry! Grovelling apologies on my part...

And as re e-mail, I've just counted 26 confirmed virus-laden attachments
that came in since you posted your pix to me. Plus 2 that may be bounces of
virusses with my address as the forged sender.
Er.. make that 33, average is 1 per 2 minutes.
This is what comes of having an e-mail address on a page with 5 million
visitors...

Yes, first and foremost, congratulations!

Well, I'm not quite so ready to forgive. I have a dial-up connection. In
spite of a 56K modem, trunk speed in this area relegates me to 24K on the old
computer and, for some reason, between 16K and 19K on the new
computer. I received two copies of Tony's e-mail from the list, both at
over 500K, plus I've been monitoring the digest as well since I've
missed e-mail to my HyperBear account. That meant that I downloaded 2
meg of attachments (and in the first message I downloaded one of the two
attachments didn't open; I just deleted the second message). Murphy's Law
being what it is, I was downloading mail because I was expecting a
semi-important e-mail from someone for something I was doing last night.
While I understand the desire to e-mail attachments to folk, please
refrain from doing so in the future, regardless of the occasion. Find a free
or cheap web site somewhere and post them there.
