    Installing Software on my iPaq

    G'day, I got a new iPaq h5500. I downloaded some PocketPC software (a backgammon program from http://bglightce.homelinux.net/downloads.html#Choosing) I shift it to the iPaq, and then double click on it. The iPaq says "xxxxxxxx is not a valid Pocket PC Application" The website says it...

    Portable mp3 players - advice?

    I also have an iPod (40GB). If you are going overseas then it might be good to wait until then. I bought mine in Schipol airport in Holland for 350 euros (AUD560) which is not bad compared to what I saw in Australia at Christmas.

    Investing for a child.

    Hey I agree ! What you do with your cash is your business. And besides it all depends on your own background I expect....I put myself through uni, got my own house deposit, started my own investments, even though my parents could have probably helped had I asked them. There is something about...

    Investing for a child.

    I agree with Frodo. Teach him how to think for him self, teach him about money, make sure he can get a good education....but you don't teach ids about money by givng it to them....in fact you teach them the opposite, that money just comes to you.

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    Personally I see it as VFL+. The ultimate difference is that the players who entered the Victorian clubs entered at all points on the list....but displaced Victorians only from the bottom of the list. To put it simply Buckley did not replace Rocca....he replaced Betheras. So the numbers (I...

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    for what it is worth....there has been a > 1/3rd increase in talent and therefore your whole point is invalid. :) We don't disagree much. You think it is more of the same (change) and I think it is revolutionary....not emotionally just based on the talent now in the AFL which was not in the...

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    the numbers are not the point. You said: Unless the non Victorian talent has increased by more than 1/3 then there is no difference in quality overall bar that which results from the advancement of time. If there is a greater increase then how much would it account for? It isn’t as cut and...

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    You have seriously got to be joking. Have a look at the Brownlow count over the past few years and look at the split of the talent, and compare it to 1980. I am not suggesting that SA talent is better than Vic talent....but what you have now is EVERY top SA footballer is playing in the AFL...

    Who do you bank with?

    I used to be the Chairman of a Credit Union in Melbourne. There is a real problem. Most CU's would like to not charge fees so what happens ? A: Those customers who are charged high fees at banks switch, normally only their transaction account, to the CU. Which means that the CU ends up with a...

    Are you disallusioned with the AFL?

    I agree 100% What you get with age is perspective. Your club wins and your club loses. Great players come and great players go. Today's champ is not always better than yesterday's champ. I think for the first 10 years of seriously following the sport: a) firstly everyone in your sideis a...

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    when did you hear of the Sydney Swans, or the AFL, or BHP Billiton, or The Artist Formally known as Prince, or the Fitzroy Gorilla's, or..... is that you Uncle Frank ??? :eek:

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    well if you had not heard of them then they surely must not have existed then ! I had not heard of you until 5 minutes ago, which makes you just a figmant of your father's imagination. When you find out who he is I suggest you ask him about it ;)

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    in fact, apart from pure speculation, the only evidence we have (how Collingwood fared in the VFL) suggests that Collingwood would have won about 15 flags had they been competing in the SANFL. Why would you think it would be any more than that ?

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    Actually Norwood dominated the SANFL in the 19th and early 20th centuries. If you look at premiership pre WWII then Port were OK without being great. It is really post WWII when Port began to dominate under Fos.

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    well at the end at least you tried to make a serious point. If you take the first 70 years of the VFL then Collingwood's success rate goes from 14% to 18% (13 out of 70). Collingwood have not dominated the VFL anymore than Essendon, Carlton or Hawthorn. They have had the same resources as...

    Port or Collingwood: which is the better club?

    a tad simplistic me thinks. Tere are a ouple of possible trains of thought. a. Port and Collingwood competed in different leagues for most of their history and therefore cannot be compared (what does 34 SANFL premierships mean in the context of 14 VFL premierships ?). If the answer is "you...

    Free audio broadcasts of AFL matches

    free if you are in Australia...not if you are overseas I think. What I would like is to be able to download the audio as an MP3, so I can plonk it on my iPod and listen whenever I like. Anyone know if this is possible ? VM
