H_T is old fashioned - he has a black and white TV

foxtel iq is a box which detunes the cable signal (or satellite) and also contains a PVR hence the hard drive so it's a digital tuner and pvr in one box i asume you know what a pvr is

redleg, if they "wiped" the data and you haven't used the disk since all the data should be recoverable when they "wipe" the disk they don't actually erase the data take your iq box to a pc data recovery centre where they can remove the disk attach it to a pc and recover the data using your great legal powers you can then send foxtel the bill it IS recoverable

i know a good lawyer redleg if you want to sue them

i'm handling it nicely just set the thermostat on 16 and let the 50 horse power a/c unit do its stuff stuff the green house gases

PT whether utility run or privately operated is too painful to discuss when i think of all the wasted money and dumb decisions i could cry and to cap it off no-one pays anyway (well mostly)

don't doubt it bb, and as i said i'm swayed towards the notion pt should be a ps utility i was just pointing out that that won't be the end of "issues", big or small. remember myki was a govt decision

are you sure they wouldn't make similar bungles? history would indicate it just as likely but hey, i'm not on either side of the argument, just pointing out that making something part of the public service is not necessarily a panacea. it's not black and white i am swayed though to think something like public transport necessarily being run at a loss is not a good match for quasi-privatisation where the govt own the infrastructure and rolling stock i'm not convinced though that they would be any cheaper or $efficient

of course i wouldn't just assume that the public service and their political masters would necessarily do any better

hope you are not being racist and calling demonlanders monkeys? surely racists don't read the age?

didn't we pay heaps and heaps more for our electricity so the network could be upgraded to avoid such shortfalls?
