It's truely is a lot better on broadband than the old days on a 1200 modem.

Grahame (Grahame) · #71 28-10-2009, 02:26 AM

so true - and people wonder how you can use gigabytes of data download per month :-)

MrB (Simon) · #72 28-10-2009, 02:28 AM

Broadb... what?

Grahame (Grahame) · #73 28-10-2009, 02:36 AM

in your case MR B its high speed copper modulation and demodulation :-)

MrB (Simon) · #74 28-10-2009, 02:49 AM

Oh that! It's some sort of telegraphy right?
Would that be quicker than my 56k (km per hour) carrier pidgeon?!

no daylight saving here 20:00 Wednesday October 28th AWST. More opportunity to view without falling asleep.

Spanrz (Brett) · #78 28-10-2009, 12:52 PM

I sat up trying to watch it. Stupid cargo ship in range at the wrong time

...Maybe they wanted a viewing spot....Hahah
I gave up and went to bed after "No Go, 90 minute delay".

Esseth (Alan) · #79 28-10-2009, 02:54 PM

Ohhh it got a lot more exciting after that, about 10 minutes later the ship was clear and the were a go and continued countdown… got to 2:39 and then they had to stop because of weather.
