Margarita Villain Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Got my paper copy. Even has a nice picture of a local family pic. All three generations. Lattigo Charlie, Cedar River Sharp Shooter, and Bear Cat Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Still no emailed electronic copy. Maybe it is time to go back to paper copy. The member only electronic copy sucks as it is hard to read on line and takes a ton of bandwidth to download if you go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Still no emailed electronic copy. Maybe it is time to go back to paper copy. The member only electronic copy sucks as it is hard to read on line and takes a ton of bandwidth to download if you go that way. Mine did not come yet either. I think SASS HQ may have overlooked sending the Oct. issue; they have had other things to contend with right now. Someone will call the office or they will get around to sending it soon. The online version is not as easy to read as a PDF version but it will have to suffice till SASS HQ gets back to 100%, give them some time.

Major Miles Stone Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 If you go to the on-line version, you can click on the pdf button at the bottom. That will download an actual pdf copy in a new tab (depending on how your browser is set). That version is much more readable. Still a really big download, so a fast connection helps alot.

I did download one from the online page last year, the file size was about 5 times larger than the PDF downloaded via SASS email link we normally get. It is clearer and the photos are sharper, I would download the larger file if there were photos published that I wanted to save. The size was about 61Mb vs 12Mb.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 They got some rough road at HQ just now. Between the loss of Coyote Calhoun and the departure of the advertising lady, they're scrambling big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Got my email with both on line and download version of CC. Problem is it took forever to download the PDF download version. When done it is 175 MB, even bigger than the on line version Wow! Hope they get this fixed soon.

Warhorse Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 175 MB!!!! Took over 20 minutes to download it via a DSL link. Yikes! Even so, I would have eaten up a lot more time trying to look at it on-line. Oh, well. It's still great to receive it electronically, especially if I want to go to a URL that is linked in the softcopy. I do recognize the huge amount of effort involved in putting it together. Nice work!

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I sent an email to SASS headquarters requesting to change back to a paper copy of the CC as I can not afford to download 175 mb of data every month. The previous ones were about 10 or 11 mb of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Rick Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just had the opportunity to open my electronic copy - AND I LIKE IT! I downloaded it once yesterday on my personal computer (high speed cable) and it didn't take much time at all. I downloaded it today from work (let's just say high-speed is not in the vocabulary - not quite dial-up, but...) and it took about 20 minutes. BUT!!! I can actually read the articles without having to increase the magnification and the pictures/ads are much clearer. I for one would rather have the increased file size and have a clear view than to go back to the compressed version and have blurry pics. If they go back to the small file size - I think I will have to call and try to get the paper version of the Chronicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have always been able to get the big copy on line or even via the email, it is the first link listed. Why make the rest of us with limited bandwidth pay for your enjoyment?

Why make the rest of us with limited bandwidth pay for your enjoyment? Well Sir - if someone's bandwidth is that limited, maybe they need to receive the paper copy? As I stated, when I have to download the digital copy at work (be it in an office or onboard a ship underway) I have to "pay the price" for the big copy as well - it takes time. I would still rather have the larger copy and be able to read the articles without having to magnify them and make them blurry. I will add, though - thank you. Was not aware you could download a larger .pdf copy from the first link. If the powers that be reduce the file size again, and I can continue to download the big file through the first link, I will still be a happy camper.
