G'day Eamonn welcome back
Hello. Thanks for the welcome.
Post more. I miss your wit.
Thanks for the compliment but i dont have an internet connection no more so i probably wont be around that much.
Couldn't you get one?
So many people have open wireless internet here.
I tried that here (I bought a Belkin system - I plan to set this machine out in the garage for next season, get rid of the disk player and replace it with a network computer for music outdoors), but there are no unprotected avenues close enough to detect.
Ripping off bandwidth from paying customers is one benefit to apartment living, I suppose.
Get a bigger antenna. 
Yeah, like a satellite dish.
Some day, maybe.
(seriously considering the cellular network. The prices are not too bad through our accommodation program at work, using any of the Big Three. If I gather enough cash to pre-pay for two years, watch for the promotional incentives to get the hardware for free, it would only cost a little more than cable television subscription over two years. I don't know the actual speeds, but several of the young guys have this set-up and they can just grab any computer and basically "use it as a monitor" through the USB port, (Vista will sync the two in about three clicks. With XP, you have to enter proxy settings, etc.) if they need a bigger screen and they can download songs in seconds, rather than half an hour, in the case of my "Premium Dial-up Service" Oh, and it's plenty fast enough to stream 'net video, flawlessly. One guy even has DirectTV and watches ESPN on his cellphone FFS. He likes football (soccer))
