Freedial reckon they can give you asdl for 12.99 a month…….I am sure that is not financially viable….would like to see how long they are going to last and what the catch is (there is no information on the website and another “home” package priced at 30 so whats the difference between the two?)
I’m getting 55K/sec on the xp1 service pack download 🙂 Update40 mins to download 130mb! – nice
I just hope it is installable on the evaluation edition of xp! So far the only tweaking that I have done so far is to turn off the annoying tick that occurs every time you click on a hyperlink
Didn’t do as good a job on the car with priceline – but we still got about $150-$200 off the list price – about 20% I think which is what their main web site said they offered.
AND they accepted – in the Hyatt Regency 🙂 – thats one night free 🙂
I’ll let you know in ten minutes how we do on the car rental!
hehehehe – we are being cheeky and asking for a four star hotel for 40 quid a night in chicago now 🙂
Woohoo – the holiday is on! We get a decent holiday flight to Chicago, and by using priceline we saved 118 pounds on two tickets so we got quite a bargain. The funny thing is that the site reckoned we would not get the tickets when i put the original price in. It recommended putting in a price that was only 10 pounds cheaper than the list price! I ignored the advice but upped the offer by 10pounds and it was accepted. AND it is a direct flight (When I checked the internet there were three cheapish flights, two direct and one with a change, so I just hoped that we got the direct flight.) Thats twice Priceline has come up trumps! Cracking!
Kristen’s car has been officially been declared a writeoff and they are giving us 1600 quid for it 🙁 However we have sourced a Fiesta for 1000 so we end up better off AND we get 30quid back from the insurance as the fiesta is cheaper to insure! I had delayed putting the car pictures online due to the number plate and things, but it doesnt matter now!
Oh – and the Audi that Kristen drove into is also a writeoff – oops!
Xp seems to be running really well on the old machine – I must say that I am impressed with the speed of it so far…..mind you, this is a fresh installation with no bloat in Windows at the moment. It’s been activated with MS and I just need to download the service pack for it now.
Why does XP take so long to install????? (Don’t answer that!) I mucked up my mandrake installation so thought i’d repartition the disk and put xp on it. I have a 120 day eval from MS so I’ll see how good it is at home with all my hardware and stuff. It’s not on the main pc as I value that just a little bit! That is running 98 at the moment but needs to be updated. Norton Anti-Virus uses memory and then it complains that my drive C is full, with 1.5GB of disk space on it. A quick reboot later and its all hunky dory again…but its a pain to do that every other day.
I never really understood the difference between passive and active mode on ftp. I do now!
