theducksWell.. I did get to see Tim's new eMac.. very spiffy :) But first, I got dragged around to one of their friends' houses to fix a Windows 2000 computer which was dead ("NTLOADER Failed".. eek!) .. and fix it I did. They're also getting a CD-RW and some more RAM in the near future which I will install, and paying a bit for my time then, which will be nice of them. Also checked their printer, scanner and modem were working, as well as installed some anti virus software for them, and cleaned up some stuff.
Fun fun!
Not really, but oh well. I'm a nice boy or something, and I didn't have much else planned :)
Uh yeah, and they had two phone lines.. and sweet mother of dog.. I'd never seen anything like it. For their second line, telstra was presumably out of cables back to the exchange for their local IDF box.. so they provisioned these people's first phone line for ISDN, and put an ANT on it, and ran the second phone line off that.. so they have this weird-ass wall mounted Analogue NT unit which the second phone line runs out. I've NEVER seen ISDN used in residential areas for just providing a second line. Weird. They said everyone who'ld seen it had no idea what it was.. hardly surprising that.. you don't see them in homes. It's out of place, like a night club playing Bach or Mozart.. Very bizarre indeed :)
Had nachos for dinner.. mmm nummy :)
