In Canada, we've had $1 and $2 coins for quite some time now. It takes a little while to get used to them, but then it just becomes second nature.

I'm from Canada, so I'm used to the cold. I went to Australia 2 years ago in our summertime. I was told it was going to be winter so I better pack warm. I brought a bunch of clothes that I could wear in layers, but I think I ended up wearing nothing but jeans & t-shirts while I was there. It's quite amusing when you're walking down the road in jeans and a t-shirt and the people ahead and behind you are wearing great big winter jackets, hats and gloves. :laugh: I had a lot of people stop me and ask me where I was from to not be freezing to death in that weather (I think the worst it got while I was there was 18C).

Those are cute, but I have to ask..."The 3th Affair"? And here all this time I thought it was 3rd :laugh:

I was just saying the same thing to a friend of mine this morning :laugh:

That's just the hamsters tumbling around in there :laugh:

I'm not sure where you live. But here on the East Coast, I ship stuff to a place called A.N. Deringer in Calais Maine. They are a broker. I called them and got their address. So all I do is ship the package there with my name on it. They will sign for it and hold the package. I go pick it up and they charge me $3.30US per package, then when I bring it back across the border, I only pay taxes on what I'm bringing over. This is really good for large packages where some companies charge you a fortune in brokerage. If it's 1 package, you still only pay $3.30 regardless of size :) If you go to http://www.anderinger.com[^] you might be able to find an office near where you live. If you do, give them a call and see if they will do the same for you. Hope that helps :)

I've been using wireless in a few different place I've lived, always using G and never had a problem with a connection. I've always been around or infront of a microwave with no loss in signal strength and never had it drop. As suggested above, maybe the problem isn't the wireless at all.

I do a lot of testing, as well as a lot of research for new products we could use, so on average I have to format/re-install my OS 2-3 times a year. On rare occasion, 4 times. I usually don't bother with images because there's software that I just don't use anymore, or software that I've replaced with better software. So I find if I need it, I install it. Saves for removing software later.

I know when I used to just do web development for work, average price was about $90/hour for standard html web pages up to about 10 pages, over 10 pages, I would charge $80/hour. If it was dynamic pages, it would be up in the $100-120/hour range depending on how complex the system would be.

I've been using EasyCGI[^] for a few years now and never had a problem. They usually update their packages 1-2 times a year, and recently they just updated their storage amounts for shared hosting. Mark
