Why Australia called as 'OZ'?
Australian slang
Australia is pronounced Ozstralia so Oz or Ozzie for short, also Aussie is short for Australia you can have it either way.
The land of Oz.
We like to shorten our words

I guess some things got lost in translation.

I would be proud of my full name.

I understand that Australia was once a "dumping ground" for the less desirables.

Take care,

Andy

Obscure Zipcode

Please don't post those "Don't like waiting websites."

There are as bad as those high volume commercials.

they provide a free service - 100 Gb free online storage
i doubt i'll be getting rid of it anytime, soon
if you don't like them, just add this line to your HOSTS file...

Code Select

127.0.0.1 www.4shared.com

Don't need the extra work.

By not posting the links we do not get the benefit of Dave's knowledge in file form especially those files too big to post on the forum :lol....

A better solution would be if you dont click links with www.4shared.com in them :lol

Required sharing of larger files otherwise requires payment of most likely around $10/month for a hosting account.... That is what some people earn in a week! :lol

dedndave · March 23, 2011, 11:59:24 PM

the forum allows files up to 160 Kb, i think
so......
Andy is going to provide us with free web-hosting for our larger files ? - i didn't think so
or.....
sorry, i can't give you that SDK or PDF that you want.....
.....because Andy doesn't like to wait
you can pretty much assume, at this point, that your remarks are headed for the bit bucket

Gunner · March 24, 2011, 12:58:58 AM

I don't like to wait either :bg I sent you a message with a link for you dave :toothy

dedndave · March 24, 2011, 01:24:37 AM

at's ok Rob
i have a website, too
i just don't want to use the bandwidth for large files
4shared is a great service
Andy can either wait 60 seconds like everyone else - or not d/l the file
i am sure the internet is not going to change just for him
