    It's snowing in mine. I handle the heat by turning up the heater.

    I wouldnt want to live there - you have to battle to get a decent unlimited connection, and you get everything LATE, eg Xbox360 arrives there March time..

    (But they do have hot chicks :)

    What I mean is, andy, it seems (with all the austalians I have spoken to on the subject) that all of the isp's are limited. Some to just 600mb..

    I wished my life could consist of one endless summer. Here in Reno I'm f-f-f-f-freezing.
