You're not putting those in MY fridge...

Yep but the only problem is that they tend to squeak a lot and drive you nuts.

The vegies need to see some of Aus just like the rest of us

But not all veges and fruit can . . . (Fruit Fly areas).

Get rid of the things , cause they space they take up , is room for another carton . . .

Thanks for the Laugh vince.. Very funny. You really cant beat a pie and a cold beer!!!!

OOooppppps , Mr Diamond i mean,,,,

To Mr Diamond (with apologies to Mr Wolf for hijacking his thread) - I am with Westnet both at home and two work places. Have found them the best; very prompt and thorough support service. Have had them on the phone (freecall number - their expense) for half an hour or so helping talk me through a problem which was not even Westnet's fault. Great people. They are also i think the only ISP that puts $s back into the community. I work at a local community run Telecentre, and for everyone who connects to Westnet with a start up disc from us, they give us 10% of their takings - a great way of supporting technology in the rural areas. Would you like me to send you a free start up disc? Reply to this follow up if you would. Like most opening deals - comes with up to 200 free hours in first month. Motherhen

hi melissa.
hope you are well .havnt seen you around much you been on hollidays again lol.
away from the post i noticed you are using west net for your internet.
how do you find the service from them.we about to change from i primus and was thinking about west net.
thank you very much.

Hi Diamond,

I'm well, thanks for asking. Wish we had been on holidays but alas this is not the case. Since having the bub I just don't have as much time for browsing as I used to. Also seem to be perpetually busy with other projects and the list just gets bigger :-(

I've been with westnet for about a year after giving bigpond the flick following endless problems with them. Happy to say that I've found Westnet very good apart from a period of about 2 weeks some time ago when the average transfer speed was around 26kB instead of 46kB (on a dial up connection). Not sure what the problem was but it was a one-off.

Value wise I found them comparable to most other ISP's but they give me 20MB free personal web space as opposed to most others which which only offered 5 or 10MB.

Hope this helps.

:o) Melissa

Just to add to the question about westnet I have been with them for over 5 years now. I run a part time computer repair business so have experienced first hand the level of service from many different isp's.
I always reccomend Westnet to anyone who asks what ISP they should use. Their service is excellent, their tech support is great and they ALWAYS phone you back. Plus you get many added extras such as MYFOTO where you can setup an online photo album.
I was on dial up but am now on adsl at 512kb and the speed is fantastic.

Eric......

First impressions only.

Really easy to erect & stow, with 2 people, don't think I'd like to do it on my own, it's a lot of tent for 1 person.

Build quality seems okay. I'm not an expert on tents, but those I have seen, the Turbo seems comparable to mid range tourers.

Wind stability....... don't know. Had perfect weather, so can't even comment on rain proofing.

Overall design...... good, not perfect...... just good. Colour coding of Velcro straps to tie off the knuckles would be a bonus.

We used it for 4 nights in duration at one site. Certainly nice to come home to. Tracy uses a camp stretcher with 2 foam mattresses & I use a swag rolled out on the floor. Between us we had a 1200 x 900 table, which we used for personal washing & storing our nice electronic gadgets. Everything else went on the floor, with plenty of room to spare.

One thing we did do, which we haven't done before, is to lay a rubber backed picnic rug inside the tent. Ours is 2400 x 1800, and it worked a treat, stopped little stones & stuff ruining the floor, 'cause we're not shoes off people, and you simply pick it up, take it out & shake it, and put it back. Nice on bare feet as well.

Eric, all in all, I am happy with it. Tracy is more happy, because she doesn't have to bend anywhere in the tent.

Oh, one thing. In the lessons, it says that it is suggested that the tent is pitched & tied using spring tensioners..... yet none are supplied!

I heeded others warnings about the state of the ground in the Flinders, and made up 10 pegs using 12.0 mm. dia rods at 300 mm. long each. To each one I welded a bent eye of 10 mm. rod on the side 20 mm. down from the top, to which a spring tensioner is permanently attached along with a clip for the guy line.

Money for value? I don't know yet. I paid $860.00 for it, and I'm sure it will serve both of us for a few years with comfort.

That's all I can tell you about it, except that I remember reading a post whereby someone asked if you could use it without the fly. NO.

Cheers

Wolfie
