Until Linux gets user friendly we will have to put up with useless
things like Vista, which is full of bugs and will be till they go back
to the drawing board. Why haven't they fixed XP yet?
Its usable but they should not be allowed to develop an unneeded
operating system till the old one works flawlessly, or is that going to
stop users from buying the new buggy Vista?
Meanwhile if you want to get out on a limb, get as confused as all out,
try this linux version UBUNTU Do a google search for it.
PS re telstra share holders. You have been conned. We always owned it.
Shares do not look like they will go up at all and will most likely
plummet, but stubborn business and governemnt will try and support them
anyway.
A bit like the tail wagging the dog really.

thanks jim,

reckon when this contract runs out i'll be looking elsewhere, if only
we could arrange for them to lose a wack of customers they may sit up
and take notice.

Hmmmm

same here....I'm joining the bigpond boycott
I have got a deal with optusnet, which when I told em I was leaving,
ended up costing me 1/2 of $69 and still got what was classed unlimited.
12 GB and 24 GB after hours. Dont think you can get this deal anymore,
though it would make telstra sit up and take notice.
Had to sign for 24 months but what the hey, I have got internet....
Hmmm maybe when my contract is up, i'll ring around everyone and see
who'll raise me the best deal.
Now were talking consumer action. A great website for information
regarding pricing is http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/ where I first picked up
on it.
Those guys are technically cool! It certainly saved me from excessive
charges. Hey this is not an advertisement for Optusnet, but one against
the Telstra camp. They are mercenary with private users and have been
known to settle a court case the day before Telstra was going to get
skinned because of some nasties they had put into place with the likes of
Alphalink (now sold out due to making a great client base) Its time
consumers understood what leeches they are. PS Im not prejudiced. I used
to work for them for a short while, and saw their methods. Ruthless!

Absolutely. I know live my life with the sole purpose of ****ing them off in
any way possible. I enjoy using Skype for calls, as I know Telstra's not
getting my money, and as soon as my broadband indenture is over, I am takign
everything away from them, with great glee, and giving my money to people
who deserve it. But definitely not Microsoft, aka 'We're going to sell you
suckers a $300 programme then charge you $50+ if it breaks like we know it
will....'
