btw Andrew when you stop doing reports and actually read this are you likely to be home around 1:20pm tomorrow you can copy win7 disc or install it what ever

Hehe not quite finished reports yet, but having a bit of a break .....

Nah mate, it is the wife's birthday tomorrow so am taking her and Tyler out to lunch.

Can u burn a copy for me and chuck it in my letterbox? I will be your best friend .... but is cool if u don't, as I won't be upgrading my PC for a few more weeks yet - so is no hurry. I am still running the Beta on my Sempron 3000+ box.

lol Karl that aint big, my missus has the Acer 8920G 18".

I personally prefer the real small stuff for portability.......mine's a 13" Benq and I'm looking for something even smaller that I can chuck under my arm whenever I do reports in the car or have to show a client some video.

lol i know it's not a big one, but carrying it on a plane lots means i need something portable, 13 inch probably wouldn't be big or powerful enough for what kind of work i do.

What model 13inch do you have?

yeah my 13" is pretty long in the tooth now (approx 3 years old) hence why I'm looking for something else.

I mainly use it for reports and capturing video for clients......seems quick enough for that....although it's on 240V when capturing and battery power when presenting the video.

Get an ASUS EEE 901 Go. 9" Screen, 4 hrs practical battery life (more if u run it with power saving) dual 1.6ghz clock, 1 gig of ram (upgradable to 2) and 12 gigs of storage on the XP model (which can be upgraded to a bigger & faster SSD). The GO model has inbuilt Next G modem so you can get a simcard and put it inside the laptop and get broadband that way.

I got a standard 901 which uses my mobile phone for next G data (via bluetooth). It rocks

How many GB do you guys use in a month on your internet?

Im with BigPond ADSL Liberty (25GB) 20000/1000kbps then slowed for $99.95 monthly. Im using 25gb in two weeks sometimes then getting kicked back to dial up. The next plan is (60GB) 20000/1000kbps then Additional usage $0.15 per MB $149.95 monthly. Im worried i might go over the limit and get a big bill(Done before on a old bigpond plan and got a bill just over $1000) My computer is left on most times downloading music,movies,programs and im bit of a youtube freak.

Im not sure if there is a plan that is as fast as the one im on now and has a set price for unlimited downloads?

Also what is a good wireless modem then will let me use my desktop and laptop togather.

40 gigs.

Internode costs us around $60 per month for 40 gigs and thats on adsl2+. we dont pay for uploads like telstra clients do.

Also what is a good wireless modem then will let me use my desktop and laptop togather.

Linksys WRT600, 610, 650. Good hardware

-D

cruzin 33 you are getting absolutely raped by Te$tra - why anyone would ever be with them is beyond me .... like Ben said, comparable plans to yours are less than half the price with anyone else.

I pay $120 per month for 60Gb (which is about to be doubled to 60Gb peak, 60Gb off-peak for no extra charge) with Adam, and that is no crappy ADSL1+, which is more expensive than ADSL2+.

And yes, I bust my download quote every month. Hence my array of 4Tb total storage :)

Furk me I have never seen a lappie with a 20" screen! Look at the screen size compared to the keyboard to get an idea of the lappie's size.

Talk about the least portable laptop ever .... but would be awesome to have one with a screen that size as a desktop replacement.

Yeah well I have nextg wireless, 10GB download (throttled) at around $129 a month (got 12 months half price offer so its around $65 ATM) But I dont really have any other choice (literally). Must say it does move fairly well for wireless though. I downloaded a file without dropping below 340kb/s.

ADSL1 = pair gains, if not on pair gains line is too long

ADSL2 = not in the exchange ATM - but even if it was wouldnt work anyway probably

Cable = apparantly my street physically has it, but its open ended.

Satellite = heard we cant get the government subsidy here (because the area does have broadband)

So yeah I'm a lil stuck lol.

I live in a roughly 5 year old estate amongst new houses, and a house around the corner was up for sale at $1.5m. No wired broadband here lol.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
