I fought that battle tonight and lost.

Problem:  Cutting cost on a publication.

Solution: Make it available electronically.
  subset of solution:  Turn it into a word document & email it to
everyone.

Document is often 8-10mb in size due to formatting & images.  Mailing list
is 100+ people.  85-90% of the recipients are on dialup 28.8-33.6 dialup.

Result:  James's head explodes. *BLAM*
