problem :Desktop is completly out of the question. My parents do not want to hear anything about a desktop The reason why we have a laptop is because of the lack of room in our house. Yes there is room in the house, but it would not be convienient having a desktop in the middle of the hallway :lol: Anyways, I managed to sit my parents down, and very carefully I discussed the reasons why upgrading the laptop would be a good idea. Guess what? Lets just say this-in 1 week time, we should be seeing some very nice screenshots :P

a screenshot, as Jimmy asked for :) this is the best my system can handle: (note this is only the demo version) this image hasnt been scaled down at all, this is how small the window is that I play on :D

Firefox took my IE settings with it, a box popped up saying something like: "Do you want to transfer your settings from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox". But I am really a IE7 user at heart :lol: . Alex

Hey Jimmy. I am getting a new GFX card this week and will be taking out my current nVidia GeForce FX600 (AGP 256mb) which I could sell to you for a cheap price if you want ;)

i'm not pre-ordering until gameplanet has confirmed the prices, which probably won't be until a month or so before its release

Hi there Blackmagic I didn't see this post earlier as I too have been working long hours last week in the South Island (charged out 72 hours last week, only making the company owners' money I'm afraid, and making me tired - but I did get to visit and finally meet Alister, which I am grateful of!) and so far this week have been in catch-up mode. Anyway, I want to clear the air, and put my hand up as being confused, and possibly adding to the confusion. I was under the impression that you were here in duplicate and for that, I apologise if it caused offense. It wasn't...

When that plane leaves I will not miss the crap spurted by a few people

Actually those stats should be freely available! Xtra is well known as being top because of its monopoly of the Telephone Lines and company websites! Ihug I am sure was number 2 now thinking about some adverts I saw bragging how big they were. Orcon clearly claim to be the 4th Biggest Internet provider but I am starting to think Slingshot is the number 3? Pretty certain I saw a consumer list of numbers boasted by Internet companies just cannot remember where.

On my camera- Fujifilm FinePix S7000- I hold down the "auto focus" button when the aircraft is approaching my location to get it in focus then snap about three quick shots following the aircrafts angle as it passes me so I have three different images to review. Hope this helps.

Hmm yea it seems that TelstraClear service is only available around WLG and CHC. Problem is, our server (if manage to procure one) would be based in Auckland <_< . Alex

It refers to MSN Messenger (Recently upgraded to Windows Live Messenger) and can be found here . You just sign into it it with your .Net login details

I'm just glad the Mainland got a hit Isn't Blenheim on the mainland anymore? Not when it comes to weather forecasting.

The lose to you and me is small in comparison to a business loses.

Well I was impressed at how Micheal Schumaker secured pole position for tonights Monaco F1 :P
