| 139912 | 2003-05-03 01:01:00 | Hey... we're talking about 10 servers here... and the monitors are always on... and the technicians comuters are always on as well... | wintertide (1306) | ||
| 139913 | 2003-05-03 01:08:00 | Epsilon... >Ngakawau is in Northern Buller and is not considered a part of the West Coast (you have to live on the Coast to understand that) [b] I lived in Millerton, a Small town on the West Coast up on the hills overlooking Granity and Ngakawau for 7+ years before moving to my cave in Chch. [b] On a good day you could see Australia from up that hill (OK not really but we loved telling that to visitors) I suppose my son who lives in Seddinville isn't on the West Coast either then. Perhaps my map is mirrored then, Left is west isn't it? I'm sure someone told me that sea thing by the beach had oz on the other side... I'd better check this out on a map just to be sure. When i'm out of town, i'm usually in Greymouth? I see that you allow that to be officially the west coast. .Clueless |

| 139914 | 2003-05-03 01:11:00 | 10!!!!!!!!! Why don't they turn the monitors off, unless they're using them? Maybe a KVM switch?? still... 10 is better than 100 |

| 139915 | 2003-05-03 02:12:00 | Epsilon. Is This town (homepages.paradise.net.nz) on the east or the west? .Clueless |

| 139916 | 2003-05-03 02:28:00 | Yes, Clueless, -- and like I said, you have to live there to understand the difference. Greymouth is usually associated with the 'West Coast' -- Anything north of Punakaiki is heading into Buller territory, which the Bullerites claim proudly as their own. When someone says, "I live on the West Coast", they usually mean south of that point, or thereabouts. When someone says "I live in Buller", they really mean that they live in Buller, and very rarely refer to their neck of the woods as "the West Coast" even though its geographical orientation is western. My origins? Buller, and a long line of mining stock. You were probably an immigrant to this area as you appear unaware of the charming parochialism. And this takes the post Off Topic -- Epsilon |

| 139917 | 2003-05-03 02:47:00 | Sorry, Chris/Clueless, I agree with Epsilon on this one. I also come from northern Buller mining stock as well as tangata whenua from northern Buller to the southern tip of Westland. Putting ALL whakapapa aside, it does appear to come down to "charming parochialism" and perhaps always will. Dyan |

| 139918 | 2003-05-03 03:14:00 | west cost == the cost on the west side. Thats how I've always looked at it. It's just that generally the West Coast is referred to as the Greymouth/Hokitika area. |

| 139920 | 2003-05-03 04:19:00 | I have the ultimate solution - but it needs a bit of work. Someone should invent a device that captures all the hot air vented from PressF1 users whenever posting to an OT subject, and channel it into a mill that generates electricity - jeez there'd be enough to power the USA! | Greg S (201) | ||
