| 1328653 | 2013-02-19 03:09:00 | The screenshot says nearly all. I want to download some software from the US. (My .com address wasn't enough.) I feel sure there must be some discussion in this forum but what do I search on? | BBCmicro (15761) | ||
| 1328654 | 2013-02-19 03:13:00 | Try searching for Amazon | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 1328655 | 2013-02-19 03:21:00 | I think you are being optimistic in this case. It's for an Adobe product | BBCmicro (15761) | ||

| 1328657 | 2013-02-19 03:42:00 | You can get around the restrictions. Login via a VPN (such as cyberghost) and use a service like YouShop to send to a US residential address. You'd have to buy boxed, and it may still ask for a US credit card, which would stymie things. It's not illegal to do so and NZ doesn't consider region blocking (which this is, essentially) to be binding on Kiwis. ^ZB (just realised I'm logged in as admin) |

(www.google.co.nz 6.2-13.13.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.3.psy-ab.Ioz0bhQW3yw&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.dGY&fp=25f2f12806e60f85&biw=1024&bih=513) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

I feel sure there must be some discussion in this forum but what do I search on?I think people have interpreted this question in a variety of ways. You need a minimum of 5 characters in a word when using the PF1 search function. Obviously USA etc is under 5 chars. Kahawai chaser has provided the only useful way of doing this. We used to be able to add * wildcards to words that allowed you to pad the word out to 5 chars - unfortunately this doesn't work any more. |
