Census

wow....eCensus must have one of the quickest servers in AU together with some money thrown at a good setup. I filled out mine today (adsl) and everything was virtually instantaneous, including page changes and saving/submitting.

Maybe someone should ask to throw EO on their servers after tonight ;-) First in, first serve i say.

Yeah, I'm one of their District managers looking after 13 shire councils for the Census, it's a big undertaking and they did assure us that the system was big enough to handle whatever load was placed on it.

Tried to log in 3 times - Error 920, tells me to call 1300 number.

Called 1300 number -
- Your call is important to us, then hung up
- Your call is important to us, then hung up
- Call answered, 2 minutes of recorded msg before option to report error, then "calls to this area are congested - please call back later"

They must be joking, I have better things to do with my time.

Must be one spectacular setup........handling a huge load in a short period of time :-)

Mike, that's what happens when I ring any Govt Dpt or large business. Why would I expect this mob to be any different ?
BUT I must say I found the online experience painless.

My wife was annoyed that it took me so little time...she did the last one on paper...rekkons I got off scott free :))
Please don't mention *TAX* to me...there are a "few" things that make me take my high blood pressure onto a soap box and that's one. I rekkon I wouldn't be Robinson Crusoe :)))))))))))

I used to hate the blasted form
But now a keyboard is the norm

Now who you are and where you live
S'Not all all the info that you'll give

We want to know
About your thing
Educated or a ding a ling

How many ladies in your house
Are you married
Or just a louse

And what exactly do you do
Idle rich or in the *oo

We need to know your dollars worth
For every business here on earth

Make sure you answer every one
And in no time the census's done.

Beauty Footie , thanks .
