Thanks Tony,

I didn't know. Doing it know.
I am sort of computer illiterate. You wouldn't think I have to write, control and maintain 3 new Rugby League websites would you.

It's a rapid pace learning curve for me.

I am waiting for B/band. Our exchange doesn't have it yet. Only 200 population and they say they can't justify it. We are currently getting a mobile phone tower! Big thing in this town.

if you get BB and a moby tower you will lose your dark skies as people flock in to live there and the developers knock all the old buildings down to create appartments :/

Hey Ving,

There are houses starting to pop up all around us now! Damn!

Got a lot of Melbournites building here at present. (coz it's cheap)

If these keeps up too much I will sell up and move another 20k or so further out. I want not only dark skies but the small country town feel, not another bloody suburb!
