Aussie group reforms

So Are you going to play this firday Horse or are you still scared of the new warmongering Deity.

[finbar]

Fear not, Horse was away developing a Dirty Bomb. Or maybe that was his 4WD.

[Hydey]

his 4WD is a dirty bomb and Horse is just dirty

[Hydey]

I hope we are playing tonight or am I going to be very pissed off again

[finbar]

I'll be here. The World Cup doesn't offer anything all that unmissable tonight.

[Alexander's Horse]

I'll be there Friday night - IF I can get the modem working.

Had dramas with it all week- the internal modem died last weekend and I bought a new USB Modem as work around. That didn't work either so I took the Comp to the repair shop thinking my system was bung.

It cost me $117 to find out that the brand new USB modem I had bought last weekend was faulty

I bought a new internal modem today. If I can get it going I'll be playing.

i understand your frustration Horse......my computer has been plagued by a host of problems.........finally got them fixed though, and i too made the mistake of taking my puter in....only to be charged just over a 100$ to find out my ram was faulty

get yourself up and running......we need to get the muppet game worked out

[Alexander's Horse]

To make matters worse my IP provider screwed up my operating system trying to fix what they thought was a software problem - the modem was dialing out but not connecting. They got me to delete the comms off my comp which led to a lot of the "blue screens of death" and then they said you'll just have to reload windows over the top, which led to a lot more blue screens, but "that wasn't in their service parameters."

So I had to get that unscrambled too


If this new modem I've bought doesn't work I'm not going to be happy

[War4ever]

LOL i think we had the same techie.....i got on the phone with some guy who told me that my settings were wrong...so he step by step asked me to delete files, well soon enough, i too had the screen of death, then he told me he wasn't sure what was wrong with my system....

needless to say...i sat there cursing into the phone.....i wanted to call back and smack that dude up the side of his head.....

or slap him in the groin...either way it took two weeks before i finally got things figured out....

the most unfortunate thing is this has happened more than once to me

[Alexander's Horse]

How unlucky though to have your modem go down and then buy a defective one straight out of the box, LOL.

[finbar]

So much for modem quality control. I bought one of those little plug-in card modem things for my last laptop. It didn't work. Buggered when it came out of the box.

[Hydey]

Well what do you expect buying stuff from a guy out the back of the pub. i always buy from a reputable dealer who guarantees he will steal another , I mean replace anything faulty at no charge.

[SuperSneak]

We send all of our faulty equipment to Australia. It's the least we can do. That's why they're trying to get me to emigrate, BTW.

[Hydey]

Is that how we got John Howard?

When i had a laptop i found those where a ***** to install and keep running.. You had to do exactly the right steps or it just wouldn't work. Not only that if you had the laptop on for 3 hours or so, if you pulled out the card you could cook something on it.
