BBV - Need a fast download of every e-mail

[AWD]

If anybody has 'em, I'd be willing to print every one out and deliver them to Diebold HQ in North Canton, and ask to speak with somebody about them......

1. You mean Diebold's emails?

Check out Global Free Press (bpilgrim's site).

2. great move, AWD

please bring a camera crew!!!

[Eloriel]

3. Go, AWD!

And yes, take a camera crew. Definitely.

But I have to ask you -- do you realize that there are some 15,000 (did I get that right, gang?) over several YEARS?? Something like 1.8 gigabytes??

I'm trying to think of how many reams of paper that would be. Plus, you'll need a hand truck or two.... or three.

Edit: Frankly, better you should download the files themselves, say on CDs if you have a burner. LOL. Then you could "return" them to their "rightful owners."

5. I missed a zero

I thought it was 1,500....I'll revamp my plan.

[BevHarris]

6. Hah! That was funny. But yes, by all means,

If you'd like to print out 15,000 memos and get a small wheelbarrow, I'll call CNN and arrange to have them visit Diebold with you. Actually, Eloriel's idea is pretty funny: Come in there with a wheelbarrow and say you are "returning" their memos. On live TV of course. Hehheh. (Actually, that's only 30 reams of paper. That'll fit in a wheelbarrow, right? Okay, maybe we need a large wheelbarrow.)

Actually, I had a reporter today ask if I had a printout of them I could send him. Dude, it's 15,000 pages. Uh, okay, where can I download them? he asks. So I told him a few places.

But you know, they took down one web site for one day. mm-hmm. Yeah that helped. And oh by the way, I still have a mouth. Cease & desist my mouth, Diebold!

[Zhade]

13. "Cease and desist my mouth" - classic!

I love the visual of returning the emails. It's great tv.

14. What does this mean for your book, Bev?

[BevHarris]

15. Well Diebold is going to get 3 days to comment

And provide their response for the Black Box Voting book.

[Pobeka]

7. About 13,700 emails totaling around 115 megabytes

Last I heard anyway...

[dweller]

4. ah.

fi.
i should have known better to expect more than the usual non-response.

[Paulie]

10. Not that bad....

Have a printer (e.g. Kinko's) do it, should be under $800 for 15k pages. Print them double sided (always recommended for emails, since they seem to average a page and a half at the office.....) will probably drop the cost per page quite a bit. :) :) :) Not that bad...

You're looking at what, 3 boxes of paper? Not that bad...

The problem is displaying the quantity in such a way that you're not just showing up with three boxes. Maybe have 1000 people holding 15 pages each.... now that's pretty hard. :) :) :)

[BevHarris]

11. Yes and make sure to wear these across your butts

10 people carrying 1,500 memos each (that's a stack of paper about 9 inches tall, impressive but not unwieldy)

12. microfilm? is that extinct? It was a great way of passing massive info...

in hard copy. That's for sure.

20 yr old + technology but it might not be a bad idea if anyone still has the technology to format to microfilm.

16. your local library

would know how it could be done...
