[stylist] Web Site Issues

Fri Nov 4 18:25:05 UTC 2011

Checking my hard drive- The Elizabeth Campbell recording on press releases
is 36,165 KB and the September recording on Free Lance writing is 49,103 KB 

And so, maybe I need to resend a copy to Peter; if his file is smaller than
mine.

Hi peter,

I had downloaded it twice, which took much less time than it did to download
the May conference call with Elizabeth Campbell, a 76-minute call and likely
similar in recording size. When playing both of the September's call
downloads, it was about 12-minutes long on both. I use Winamp and can see
how long the file is, how much time is passed and how much left :). Looking
at the file downloads here it is a 5.x MB file size.
