If we were talking about a 1GB torrent file, I wouldn;t have minded. You hardly need such files sent by email. My beef was the fact that I had to download a 33kb file, followed by a 5MB file and installation, to find out He sent me a 3MB file, and to have a piece of software installed on my computer that (a) i never use, and (b) may or may not have installed, other unrelated junk on my computer. Anyhow, half the-point to the article is that there are other ways and means that are easier, more free-flowing and make more sense in a small-attached-archive-to-email kind of way.

Perhaps you should try installing Pando to see what your friend sent you, before complaining about it! :-) The 33 KB file that you refer to wasn’t a compressed version of the file being sent to you, it’s a tiny meta-file (like a .torrent file) that lets the Pando software retrieve the actual file, which would have been much larger (e.g. 1 GB).
