While I finally managed to register with this forum (as you see , I'd however like to notify you about oddities I encountered during the registration process. Have to point out that my internet access bandwidth is limited (only 64 kbps, i.e. ISDN speed). With full-featured browser, complex pages take several minutes to load. Alas, user forums nowadays make use of CAPTCHAs to register with their
sites. There is no way to decipher CAPTCHAs with a text mode browser... Worth mentioning that completing one CAPTCHA alone was not enough. Only after the fifth or sixth, a dearly yearned "A welcome message with further instructions has been sent to your e-mail address." was displayed.
The registration took some energy I'd better have used for something useful. It seems that not the connection speed to forum was the limiting (cumbering) factor, but rather the redirection to external Google servers. Suggestions or confirmation appreciated.
