Welcome to the wonderful world of the internet Sheba!<P>When you send an email, it may get routed many, many different ways.<P>From your house, to the ISP is a straight shot. From there, it may go around the world a number of times before it shows up at its destination. Even if you send an email to the guy next door!<P>If one of the computers in the middle is down or acting funny, the email may get re-routed somewhere else. Then again, it may not and just sit there until the system figures out what to do with it.<P>Have you seen these games with a piece of wood has a bunch of pegs sticking out? You drop a ping pong ball in a hole at the top (your house) and it bounces all over the place until it comes out the bottom (the recipient). This is sorta how the internet works.<P>Get it?<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html</A>

No, not just WebTV. At my work sometimes it may take 20 minutes to send an email to the guy sitting 5 feet away from me. And it only has to go through 1 router & 1 server & back.
