bubbabyte, buddy they offered...no one replied so.....i dont think it exists... :D

where in aus is it going..?

Last i checked there was 4 canadians on that list.. including sin-ergy that just posted above...lol

so when we refer to the east coast or west coast.. i'm assuming (hoping) that includes canada as well..lol

Yer sorry i just been very busy at work :(

Anyway i need to know roughly where i am sending this to first. I dont mean to sound like an idiot or anything but my knowledge of the USA states and distances is not that good, so if someone could help doing a USA postage list for a logical order would be a great help, as i want toship this by the end of the week.

Really, it's going to have to criss-cross North America. I'd say keep it North first. UK to Newfoundland or some other Canadian east coast province, then ship it across Quebec to Ontario because we have some Torontonians. Keep it going west and I volunteer to take it in Winnipeg and if there isn't response across the prairies, I'll take it a little of the way across and then ship it to the volunteer from Vancouver. He can send it down to Seattle and have it make it's way back across to the east coast, only this time meandering through the states. It hits the UK and Europe on the east coast again, and see if it can't make it's way across the mainland, (some how around China) and over to Oz! It's really not hard when you draw a line.

Woah...where did that come from. Brian, you gotta wait for the next list :pinch: sorry.

In any case, a few posts back we decided to start with East Coast US. Which would be either Mr. Chronopolous - Boston, or me, Peterish - New York City. Let's just go with Boston first! (why not? :D)

I don't mean to sound selfish, but this is just the way I see it since no one else seems to be posting ideas...

Tunafish, if that's ok with you, please PM with Chronopolous and see if you can work it out. Woohoo!!!!!!

I've looked through the current volunteer list and made a possible order. I did my best to make it flow evenly around the world.

London - tunafish and mumbles

Belgium - XerXis

Spain - littleneutrino

Boston - Mr. Chronopolous

New York - Peterish

Toronto - o0moonman0o

Minnesota - t_r_nelson

Kansas City - Marshalus

Kansas - djlegion

Texas - Al-Mann

California - crazzy88ss

Hong Kong - sundayx

Australia - -T-

I made that up a while ago (and posted it on the first page). If we go with the USA first, it would be me, and then NY, up to Toronto, down to Minnesota, Kansas City, and Kansas, south to Texas, west to California, and then off to either Asia or Europe (Asia would make the most sense from California).

this route probably makes more sense.

now, there are a few distant international shipments, is everyone who'll be doing one such shipment ok with the likely higher cost?

this could go in either direction, although if it's going right first then it might arrive in Vancouver too early. . . I could do any time after may, not just till August

Also, it might be more convenient to switch the order of me (Vancouver) and Victoria, doesn't concern me either way.

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
