Finally entered the 21st century and got broadband just a few moments ago - what a difference!!! This will make web surfing & downloading a lot quicker


...................................now for FSX???

JEEPERS Welcome to Heaven Paul

You will never go back to dial up mate. Once the honeymoon is over you will take for granted that you can open 5 or more new web page tabs at once and flick between them all and instantly see websites. If the connection slows for any reason you'll think your world has come to an end, but even then it will be faster than dial up!

Jeez thats like living in the stone age

This, and if you've got a monthly limit, just watch how much you use...CAREFULLY, especially going from dial up to broadband!

They need to mate, to make up for the fact that the place is full of Oarstraylians. Mind you the Kiwis are apparently moving there in droves ... thankfully it's the ones that raise the IQ of both countries in boarding the jet to Seeeedneee.

Heh!

Yeah, today the world DID come to an end -- I get throttled back for 24 hours if I download more than 2GB in a day, and yesterday I must have gone over this. It's kinda like wading through treacle, so I've caught up on some non-internet jobs today:)
I know that 2GB seems like a lot in a day, but the Xbox demo of the Bourne Conspiracy was about 1.5GB, I think... maybe not worth the trouble for about 15 minute's gameplay!

Thanks for the pointers guys - the next part of my evil plan is to free up some hard disk space on my desktop PC for more Flight Sim stuff - how do I do this without spending money on my PC (therefore getting berated by my better half)? I buy my wife a nice new laptop for her birthday thats how!!! The laptop arrived today (its two months away but never mind - early birthday present). Actually the laptops specs arent too bad ......I wonder how it runs FS9???

Well done. I've had mine now for about 4 weeks now, I guaranty you wont look back
