501677 2006-11-24 01:46:00 Well, does anyone know or you just an unfriendly bunch of @#$%mX**(9$$%*S$###@rds??!!!Hi Jake. Some of us ARE unfriendly S.O.B's. And some are just S.O.B's. And lo, some are very friendly personable people.

However... The more unfriendly amongst us don't usually respond to tossers, but this time I'll make an exception.

Smile and be happy.

Hmm, because no one replies instantly to your post you say that . Don't you think you've got a bit of a nerve calling us unfriendly? In fact, you are being a pratt .

Please stick to our rules about being friendly (you read the rules, didn't you?) or find somewhere else to rant .

Also, it might help if you actually explain waht you are taliking about when you say a "computer fair" .

Do you mean fairs like Big Boys Toys? That was on a few weeks back.

501681 2006-11-24 02:42:00 I think he meant something like a fair I once went to in the mid-nineties - it was held in a school carpark where you paid your five bucks fee and could set up your own table with whatever goods you had to sell. It was kinda like a big public garage sale.

I guess the likes of TradeMe and Trade and Exchange have made them obsolete.

501682 2006-11-24 02:50:00 I think the "Computer Fairs" he's referring to are those ones run out of a school or community hall where a bunch of rip-off merchants try to flog second-hand junk at near-new prices. Some of the software looked pretty dodgy with respect to licensing too.

There used to be one in the Ellerslie school hall on a Saturday morning that moved to the Panmure community hall but I don't know if it's still going or not. Maybe people got sick of being ripped off. Or they prefer being ripped off on Trade Me.


Mackin. Friendly S.O.B. :D
