  1. Really?When was the last terrorist activity in the US?
  2. My move south & west can't happen soon enough.Just under 10 monts to go but who's counting. Download at 383kbps you say-mine is usually with a decimal after the 8.LOL.
  3. Obviously you don't rely on TOT for internet/phone service.
  4. Of course it doesn't make sense-this is Thailand,Joe!Of course water does interfere with land lines. I returned to the 1st TT&T office and the same girl in a 2 girl office that helped me originally acted as if I was from outer space.Ok,will check for you.I will return to the 2nd office at Carrefor tomorrow and tell them which planet I hail from. TOT update.I had internet for 18 minutes this morning before the 1st outage and then for 32 minutes and then down for the count.Hello 1100,it's me again.I went down to the lobby and saw a sign posted by mgmt that said no phone (and of cours
  5. LOL at the internet cafe (because TOT Third World Repair Service not available on weekends).
  6. Glad to hear things are busy at the Pattaya Pick Up Garden! And the problem with the BLT was-the bacon was warmed (like everywhere else in Thailand) and not crisp-just warm.Limp bacon is awful.Bacon rant over.It was hopping when I came in early one evening last week.
  7. When it rains-intermittent service.So of course,I called 1100 and asked how long it would be down.LOL! Monday,because our "technicians" (too funny) only work 9-5,Monday through Friday.What a wonderful job to have-holidays and weekends off.And to think I expected internet service 24/7/365-how silly of me. This rivals Honduras where I endured Third World status some 20 months back.How silly of me to think Thailand had progressed beyond that stage.TT&T-still waiting to hear from them form 6 weeks back. Contacted 2 offfices and still no response.Third World indeed.
  8. Yes but let's not let 250b be a deal breaker.I think the price is fair and if it doesn't sell,it'll be my lappy for several years to come. I haven't used the touchpad as I've had a wireless mouse attached since new.And I'll sell the laptop cooler very cheaply too-it has been atttached since new also via USB.Battery has been removed since new (fully charged) while using a/c for longer battery life.
  9. After a 15-20 rain,I like to watch 2nd Rd turn into 2nd Lake.Drainage is an afterthough here.
  10. Air Asis has a 0 (ZERO) fare on offer now.Just pay tax and assorted charges.
  11. As a retired airline employee,I can say they are responsible to feed,house,and clothe you if you miss your connection (ok,mayabe not clothe you).God knows I made enough of those vouchers over 32 years to do so for all forum members. Did I mention Northwest is officially a subsidiary of my former company,Delta Air Lines,as of today.The NW name will cease to exist w/i 18 months.
  12. Have you considered Cambodia?Just get a business visa on arrival with no questions asked,and LEGALLY stay forever with extensions. Just a thought.
  13. Both 0 (free) and 299 fares domestic and 399 int'l. Singapore-purchase through 2 Nov-travel 1 Dec-31 Jul Domestic- purchase through 9 Nov-travel 14 nov-31 Jan
  14. Purchased new from Dell in June.First used when I moved here on Sep 1. Came with 2g memory-I upgraded to 4g when new.You choose 2g or 4g for price difference. 16750b/17750b for 2g/4g memory-buyer chooses. Vostro 1400, Intel Core 2 Duo T5670, 1.8GHz, 800Mhz, 2M L2 Cache 14.1 inch Wide Screen XGA TL LCD 2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 DIMM Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 250GB SATA Hard Drive, 5400RPMF125 Genuine Windows XP Home Edition,SP2,English Google Small Biz Home Page Internet Portal Dell Support Center 2.0 Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem Adobe Re
  15. Pattaya Bay Resort behind Avenue Mall on 2nd road.Clean;friendly staff,excellent free breakfast-both English and Thai choices,rooftop pool and restaurant to enjoy bkfst,WiFi plus 2 computers in lobby for guest use.Tuk-tuk available.Newspapers in lobby and 2nd floor reading room and small gym.
  16. Hola,pinche,I'll try to help a bit.The cost structure is a huge determining factor,obviously.What the particular airline has paid for fuel,crew salary,aircraft lease,their airport lease for every square foot is the determining factor for fares in a nutshell.The fixed fees,such as customs and immigration are standard as are landing fees,unless an airport was begging for your service and cut you a break on facility fees and lannding fees.Obviously if you have a great lease,pay your staff shite or have your fuel hedged below the current rate (or higher as some airlines have and it cost 1 US carri
  17. Last entry was 3+ years ago but I did book from it.Any more recent suggestions? Am booked at Flamingos Hotel for $35 per nite.
  18. Have a visa run coming soon?You may want to consider a trip to PP or elsewhere for just over 3k baht,all in. The ++ is for tax and surcharges-still very reasonable. Book between 13-27 Oct and fly between 9Feb-31Jul
  19. Contacted Tooie today and she quoted a very fair price for coverage.
  20. I live in a large 2 room condo and always run the air when home.My 1st electric bill as $33.63 and my water bill was $5.05.
  21. Are you referring to IE8 Beta?Yes it sucks.I tried for 2 days and went back to 7 SP3.You can tick that box on top line that is supposed to make web pages that work for earlier versions-6 & 7-worrk in8 Beta,but that doesn't always for either.Go back to 7.
  22. I can recommend 2.See Michael Pinsent at Thailand Properties-3rd floor Avenue Mall on 2nd Rd.038052020 Or see Lek at Jomtien Properties at the entrance of View Talay 2 on Thepprasit Rd in Jomtien-0817582899.
  23. Just removed from my new Dell laptop .I replaced the memory after just 5 minutes of use to upgrade mine to 4Gigs max. Upgrade your memory and it will run faster.
  24. Congrats on the lower BP from a daily user of Norvasc,which is incredibly cheap here BTW.The 160b you paid would not cover your HOSPITAL PARKING in the States.
