I'm 15 on Monday by the way :D

when i do get a job eventually, i know i will have enough money. its just that first I'm saving for a new phone because mine is spoon (I'm thinking of the Nokia 6300) then I'm planning to get a new PC as seen in my "Notebook VS Desktop" Thread.
Then at the end of the year I'm going to Italy (more specifically, Milan) as an exchange student for about 6-8weeks and i need to save for that aswell (the spending money, not the flight charge :P). because last year i hosted an exchange student and this year I'm going to his house this time :D

I always wanted to go and see what it'd be like to be an exchange student...  But then, I never could be stuffed.
Hope you enjoy it!

I think you pay in advance.  If not, just set aside some money for it.

which is really good for me, now i have to just wait until Thursday or Saturday until my speeds go back up and i download games better :D

Email?  Do you use an email client?  If so, just pre-download everything :P

thanks, i think i will enjoy it :D

what i sort-of meant to say is that if i somehow end my job (when i get one) i will have to end my ISP connection with that company, and if i get hired someone else later, i would have to sign up again. and also if i didn't get another casual job for a while, i would have no internet :(

what do mean exactly? i have lots of emails, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo (don't check it). i meant he checked his emails and didn't notice anything unusual in the speeds :D
what do you mean by pre-download? :P

He means by an email client, something like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.

oh, well I've tried to use Mozilla Thunderbird for my Hotmail account with the Webmail addon, with no sucess. so i just do web-based emails (going to http://www.hotmail.com etc)

woah hold up, you get charged by downloads? ROFL

^^Everyone does in Australia...  unless you get an "unlimited" plan (which costs heaps).

UPDATE: ok somehow when I've checked my internet speed just before, it has gone back up from dial-up.
see here:

it shouldn't have because the new month hasn't started yet. i don't know if dad phoned up or Telstra just realized their mistake without me saying anything.

doesn't matter, its all fixed and I'm happy :D:D:D:D:D
