don't Telstra/GameArena have a steam mirror (ie: freezone for Bigpond users)?
if so, that'd explain why your Steam DLs aren't shaped.

My old man. I bought my old man some beers last night, and we stayed up to 12:30am talking about random shit. We don't talk very often, but when he has a few drinks, he becomes really deep.
Also my grandpa. He's on his last legs, but hearing some stories about him are awesome. Like how he fought Indians in the war. And how he used to drive tanks. But never got his license.

Driving the radiographer up the wall with my constant talking about games, movies, music, games, what games I just bought, Hyper magazine, and games ... And giving him ear worms!! (When I have a song stuck in my head, and I tell him about it ... then 10mins later he has it stuck in his head - haha sucked in Mike)

So, about 3 months ago, my secondary PC died on me. However, because it sat directly beside my own, newer PC, I didn't bother to move any of the music/pictures across. Today, I took it to the computer shop, and bought a caddy for my hdd (the ports on my old hdd are different from my new pc). I have music!

Didn't fail Adv Maths, didn't come last in Chem despite starting a 3 week assignment 5 hours before it was due (and didn't come last in Ext1 either).
I set the bar low then work from there

I wish I got mine already. I sent my recipe off two weeks ago and Samsung claim they can’t find it. It will piss me off hugely if they try and worm their way out of this. I've got the registered proof of sending them the goddamn recipe and I expect my fucking BluRay player.

Woo! I now realise the power of a P8400 processor combined with 2gb's of ddr3 ram. Vista actually runs smoothly without any hitches. And it's a laptop too. I love this Thinkpad x200. <3

I saw a man in a full motion capture suit in the bathroom today.
Don't think I'll ever see anything so weird, confusing and funny again.

Pulling out my dads (mine now) old NES out of the cupboard. Never really played it. But I decided to clean it all up a bit and see what's there. And guess what, it has the flashing light problem. Although it seems fairly minor. All games are complete! Books, boxes, all of it. I know there isn't much there.. but it was still enough to entertain me for an hour.
Oh, and it was also the very first console i played. I remember feeling really cool playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with my dad when I was 4ish? Good times.

It's good to see the Lenovo/IBM laptops are still the best built machines you can get. While the Macbooks come close there are some minor issues that mean they're just not the quality of the Lenovos.
