G'day R2x1I can only dream, despite finding as many ways to make unsolicited emails more a hassle for the sender than for me, they just a keep a sending!

you still connect to the web by a stick?
How's life in the travelling light show?
Using Gmail is a pretty powerful Spam stopper for me, other providers don't seem to be able to match their efficiency at discombobulating the rapscallions.
I still have the Vodem, but it is used extremely rarely now - on average 20 or 30 MB / month. That makes it stupidly expensive at around $2 / MB. (One month it was in excess of $60 / MB!) I think it is time I started using the cell-phone as a mobile, since 2Degrees' rates are much better for small amounts of data.
You seem to have chosen a rather effective method of isolating yourself from Chch's bad vibrations. I heard a rumour that those earthquakes were triggered by local lithosphere overloading due to large amounts of cable
that hadn't been wound up?

1165697 2010-12-31 20:47:00 I had a blank message left on my answering machine at 5:40 pm last night. Maybe they rang while I was out. How disappointing!!! Bobh (5192)
1165698 2010-12-31 23:40:00 you can't call 0800 & 0900 numbers internationally can you?

I called a 1800 number (the equivalent of our 0800) in the States via Skype once. Worked a treat!

1165699 2011-01-01 01:16:00 I had one a couple of weeks ago. Even though I insisted I do NOT have a windows machine and that I had a Mac, he still wanted me to "check my windows files"!
So I just told him straight that he was a scammer and that very soon he would be tired of ringing people because they all know about the scam.
He was pretty pissed off and then he hung up.
