594719 2007-09-25 08:16:00 WMG switching to PC's.
In case you missed it beeswax34 I don't need to "switch" to PC, I already have XP Pro running on Parallels which I periodically mention on the forum. (I just don't use it much:p )
As for Telecom investing in the cable.... nah..

Why would they bother? They own 50% of the SXC already, and there's plenty of capacity left on it (shame they don't allocate any to its broadband users :groan:)

Not a chance! It would just be competition for them.

I, however, will be prepared to chip in a few dollars and I'm sure most people on this forum would too.
