      Hi, alexander!              15 окт 16 21:51, alexander koryagin -> Micheal M. Dronov:               ak> What do you mean by "sending 51 mb to your tablet"? It is not clear        ak> IMHO.              I tried to say that my FidoNet client downloaded about 51mb mail after       rescanning...       It is very huge!               ak> It's clear, the young generation prefers to play games. Absence of        ak> advertising is also very important. Those who do want to talk        ak> constantly hear "Facebook", "Twitter", "Live Journal" etc at every        ak> corner. And a person needs only a computer browser. Easy access. But        ak> you have to collect many information to find your way to FIDOnet. The        ak> GoldEd's pseudo-graphical interface IMHO is not very attractive for        ak> the modern people.              Yeah, you right. Also the new programs help you to not to think about how to       send mail, how to view it, how to get uue file from letter, etc..               ak> Another problem -- to find subjects to talk about. There is a simple        ak> rule here. If you use the language and learn it -- you have questions.        ak> Otherwise, there are no questions. I remember a time when I translated        ak> some Russian books into English. That was a gold time for learning. I        ak> used a pile of dictionaries, already translated books, on-line        ak> dictionaries and forums. I could sit at every sentence thinking how to        ak> translate it in a better way. ;)              How long you was translating books?       And what books were translated by you?              wbr, Micheal.              --- /*---*/ \*---*\        * Origin: DWAVE BBS, Simbirsk, Russia (2:5051/41)    |
