Might be a good location for one of your stories.

However HTTP is faster. As to size, staying under 10mB does help the transfer, as some ISPs do traffic shaping and throttle back the speed on bigger files. The biggest hurdle that I see is a way to limit sharing of the file. There are people that would try to cheat you. I would probably try to use an HTTP format and access by database list of user access code. The HTTP encoding discourages copying because the issue becomes many files and images and while a user with Front Page or Expression could replicate it, that is a lot of work to share a magazine and expose self to theft charges. The HTTP format also gets the front page up quick. But might be way more work than PDF. Or the data access code, assigned to each subscriber with expiration date, to access a PDF is very easy, and I can show you how.

Here is a copy; Therefore, the revised American Red Cross recommendation is as follows: If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a basement, tornado shelter or sturdy building. If you cannot get to shelter, a recent study* suggests doing the following: Get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt, and try to drive at right angles to the storm movement and out of the path of the tornado. If strong winds and flying debris occur while you are driving, pull over and park, keeping seat belts on and the engine running. Crouch down below the windows, covering your head with your hands and a blanket if possible. If you are unable to get to a building or vehicle, as a last resort, lie in a ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands.

They all think we are either crazy or really brave ... maybe a bit of both! When we are forced to hang up the keys, what tales we will have to tell! Nick,
