I love getting emails. I love joke emails (even though I think I’ve read every single one of them twice). I love when people forward me silly videos BUT I HATE WHEN THEY ATTACH THE VIDEO TO THE EMAIL. Can’t you just find it on YouTube and send me a link? See, I got Vista which means my computer is slower than a tortoise, it’s slower than my old Commodore 64. If I try to open a video attachment, that’s all my computer will be able to do for a good 5 minutes. Talk about painful. And if the video sucks… it makes the pain I already feel so much greater. But if people would attach a YouTube link– it doesn’t kill my computer and it’s not eating at the space Gmail provides. I get a quick chuckle and I can move on.
Please– stop sending video attachments– run a quick search on YouTube and send the link that way!
This post doesn’t pertain to my parents… you guy do what makes you happy.

Amen to that! My future-mother-in-law sends videos all of the time. I’m glad I have a fast machine and Gmail, or I’d be SOL wrt computer speed and e-mail disk space.
I hope you and your readers enjoy these:
