Damn you! Why must I put up with this rubbishy modem... someone give me lots of money, please... Queeq?

finti, you are so going to love high speed. It is so nice to be able to view making of ep2 in less than 15 minutes. Used to be had to hit go, then go out and wash the car, and return later to check if it had downloaded at all, or if my connection had been bumped off. It burned up all my hours just trying to download something over 1 1/2 days of continuing attempts. Pay the money, save time, pain, suffering; the peace is worth the price to everyone in the family besides tying up the telephone line.

Soon I will kill you all in horrible pointless revenge for having faster connections...

ADSL is the best, Keo is right. It's great to get up in the morning and be able to download the newsest Making of Episode-II video in the time it takes to clean you teeth rather than the time it takes to shower, eat breakfast, dress, go to work, come home at Lunch time and THEN watch it.

Plus is makes playing Quake III Arena a lot easier, we long thos 33ms pings!!!

Grumble...

Mind you, Diablo II will never work properly on-line no matter how fast your connection. It doesn't even work properlly over a freaking LAN!

I DO seem to remember you working on the theoretical premise of being very rich once, Queeq. So buy me a theoretical ADSL link please.

A theoretical premise? Sounds very profitable.

When did I get a lot of money?

Finti, welcome to the club! Me and hubby have had adsl for half a year now.. and a year at work.. it's soooo great

*getting jealous now*

It's the best thing in the world. I can surf, download and connect to work with no lag.

In fact I get better responces from my work network than I do when I'm on the LAN at Footscray!!!

Still have dumb old modem.....

Me too. Don't worry about it.

Put it like this actually.. I haven't used a modem for like... almost four years God I sound like someone with no life.. hmmm.. that life thing again.. Can it be had at K-Mart?

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart!

I used to have DSL this time last year. Then I moved to a nicer house and neighborhood and now I can only go 28.8! I hate it! I long for the fast days of DSL or even cable. I looked into getting wireless, that will go about half as fast as DSL but its still worth it till they can put new phone lines near here.

"This is my boom stick!"

"I said the words.. basically"

I bought the new Evil Dead game, The best part was the opening cut scene. After that it was downhill. I'm still gonna finish it, but not for a while.

"You got ugly, real fast!"

*snickers*

Ya know I was referring to the game? Right?

"Listen up you primitive screw heads!" What I want to say to the Phone Co till I get my DSL!!!!

*snickers some more, letting him dangle a while longer, thinking he just insulted a lady*

I have modems at home and work, never used anything else. So I actually don't know what I'm missing.

That's the way to keep your spirit up, Gundy.

AHH Sweet ADSL Time to download something

Start with a movie

Jeeesh..I wish I had DSL..

Well if you save your pennies reallly hard...

She has pennies? She can save? I am definately living in Poor City compared to you guys.

I really wouldn't know.

Not compared to me, Queeq.

Did Finti get all hooked up? It's Tuesday here, Wednesday there.

I think he had more pressing matters on his mind possibly to worry about this.

I am hooked up alright, skyhook?

He's back! Badder and faster! Hide your women and children!

especially hide the women

Yeah, right.

Finti, what upstream and downstream do you get on your ADSL? Is it a contended line or a private one?

Yes, finti. We're all dying to know such technical specs on this otherwise dull forum.

I have no clue what you are talking about RC. I just got it installed, the technical stuff It is on try out ... desperatly reading manuals.. eehhh it is 384/128 kps (Inn/out) . (In my favour ). I got this speed because it is half the price of the faster ones. I am bound for a year with this speed, by then it will be cheaper with the faster ones so then I will uppgrade.
What is the differense between a private line and a contended?

Well, my line is contended with 50 other users, as are all BT Home ADSL lines in the UK.

This means that up to 50 people can share the bandwidth, in my case 512/256. So, theoretically, if all 50 people were downloading a big file at the same time you would only get 1/50 of the bandwidth. In practice this doesn't happen as people are on the line at different times of the day and night.

Sorry queeq, didn't know you had the mandate on what we are and are not allowed to talk about. Wasn't this a thread about ADSL????

Go ahead, RC, you teach us. Don't mind me taking a nap. *yawn*

Then I have a private line RC I guess that is good

Neener neener Finti.. I got a whole meg alone at home

meg ryan

What's your address?

Oslo

I don't care, how long is Meg staying?

Hmm.. just as long as Nicholas Cage is!

Hmmmm, Nicholas Cage.

You fight over Cage, finti and I will battle over Meg.

Meg Ryan, When Harry Met Sally. Nah, she's a faker....

I won't mind.

Nah, I'd prefer the ruth than an ego build any day. Makes you work harder at it!

Heck, if she wants to fake and let me have fun.... WHO CARES?!!

Well, that's what I would have thought too. Faking it just to get it over with, why even bother?

Who says I'd be faking?

A guy needs an entire special effects crew in the room to fake it.

No we dont

Errr... what finti said.

And how would you do that?

Its a secret of Karma Sutra

I don't even wanna know...

Eugh!

(fills in music for finti) "she want a pearl necklace"

GUNDARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ? I was just watching QVC the other night and they were having a bunch of pearl jewelry on. My goodness, RC....you're going to blow a vein if you don't calm down....

You are such a BS artist!!!

Gundy's fine with me.

Well, maybe she should be fined!

As long as I don't have to pay.

She's not THAT kind of girl.

No, that's true. She'd probably ask you.

Keep Edna away from this thread!

Isn't when its the real response more fun?

Ush's gallantry never ever fails to impress me.

freeq's unabashed lust never fails to thrill me.

RC's compliments never fail to warm me.

finti's musical genius never fails to amaze me.

You guys are something else.

Shucks!

You mean that lovely pearl necklace she saw on QVC? Why wouldn't we talk about that?

I have no idea, also I do not have a clue why you would want to hide the preceding two pages from Edna....

Oh, she doesn't want to be bored with dull stuff like that.

(Adds RC's name to death list)

Oh, I'm sure she'll enjoy it.

Dull stuff like that? No chance...

I e-mailed her the link to that page.

Like I always said, Gundy-Wundy, you are pretty darn cool yourself.

Now, let's keep this topic rolling over fast so Edna doesn't see this page...

Which bit, are you talking about Gundy's Pearl Necklace?

What an excellent idea.

SO you sent her a lot of emails then.

Ba-dum-boom!

Not for a while now, actually.

You'll be luck to get her to see an e-mail right now; she hasn't checked her account in two weeks and it is full of crap.

Oh!?!?!

**None of my business**

I used her other e-mail address, the one she opens.

I'll challenge you right now to name her other address, Freeq... *I* know it...

Oh dear, handbags at 40 paces ladies....

Gee, that's one heck of a handbag to work at forty paces!

Did I mention the revolver in each bag?

Well, no-one gave ME one...

Oops...

*Rings Gravestones'R'Us*

Yes, that's U S H G A R A K. Tomorrow? That will be perfect.

Urrr... I'm not so happy about this idea any more...

*Phone rings*

It's Gravestones'R'RUs!

What? You can do a rush job for this evening, even better. Thanks.

*click*

Where the heck is frog-dude, anyway?

Out catching flies maybe?

And how does he hold a handbag?

In his flipper silly.

Is this some special handbag for frogs? And how do frog paces work?

You know, I am beginning to suspect that this was not a serious idea...

Yes, there may be some drastic drawbacks to this plan.

Good!

(Runs)

(Runs back)

Though I DO know that address

(Runs again)

Isn't a can of pepper spray a better thing to keep in your handbag?

At forty paces? That's some pepper spray...

(Whole thing starts vgain...)

Well, I have a special supplier.

What else does he do? Rape alarms that cause earthquakes? Genuine acidic CS spray?

I wonder if it's the same one that sent queeq those funny little parcels.

Well, Freeq has many contacts...

Indeed. And I wonder if my tongue can reach forty paces. I could choke you with that. Gundy is very happy with it anyway.

"When she spoke, her words ensnared me
Watch the lizard, watch the lizard, watch
Watch the lizard with the crimson veil"
- Marillion

Indeed

And he has a go at my music tastes... All I can remember of Marillion is the 3 or 4 school headbangers with Marillion patches on the back of their denim jackets.

well if they were headbangers they really missunderstood. Marillion is great music, poetic mellow sometimes rock, mever been heavy thoug. And RC the actually play instruments and sing themselves, not what you can say for the MTV generation, playback and dont know how to sing computerized voices.

You mean the likes of people like.
Craig David
Robbie Williams
Mel C
Anastacia
The Corrs
Dido

Just 6 of the top of my head who can certainly sing and play some instruments.

TV can make you believe anything. Even that people landed on the moon.

So, your latest conspiracy theory is that they can't actually sing or play instruments.

OK, have it you way.

*shrugs*

Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them

Well, where 3 of those were concerned it myst have been my eyes, ears and all my other senses.

Whatever.......

besides the corrs and Craig David they dont make their own music they just perform it.

Anastacia plays the piano and guitar.
Dido plays the piano.
Robbie Williams plays the Piano.
Mel C plays the Piano and the Flute.

Still they are only singers dont contribute to much with instruments on the albums .And how many of the tracks have their name on it?
