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.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
