Loadman, just checked out your site, found it interesting that ou managed to sub your BIOS load scrren/pic... you mind sharing that pearl of wisdom, cos I'd love to do that... Perhaps starting a new thread in the software section...

It's no secret.
Some motherboards allow you to substitute the BIOS screen for a PIC ;) Check your manual
To make the Boot-up look better I disabled Windows Log-in and matched the Bios Log-in pic with my wallpaper

Thanks for the welcome Anubis_au.
There's no rivarly between Melbourne and sydney at all. All you guys have is a big harbour, a big bridge and an opera house!
We got the yarra river! The only river in the world that is upside down!
MPtech your heading our way just as the weather is turning colder. However if you head north to Queensland the weather will still be warm.
cheers

I was wondering about the weather. We're exiting our cold weather here, in fact I just mowed the lawn and fertilized it for the first time this year, heading into our warmer weather (funny, I don't know what else to call Spring!).
So colder like a light jacket or something else? I'll be wearing a suit to the office (so I'm told), please tell me a don't need my overcoat to boot! I'll be heading down next week, for a couple, then a couple more at the end of next month (if I'm lucky!)
I had a Salt Water aquarium for 10+ years, so the Aquarium is a must and I thought about a snorkeling outing, but I'm thinking I'm too late (and I have to look at my geography a bit, how far is the ocean??)
Yep, I already started looking at the http://www.visitvictoria.com/ site.
I'm sure I'll figure out the Trams for getting around, but after a 20+ hour flight, a cab to the hotel is a no-brainer.
Can you recommend any good (reasonably priced) resteraunts? I'd like to try some local specialties (I can get steaks and such at home). I enjoy Seafood, can you recommend anything in that order?
I'd also like to visit a couple watering-holes (I have to have at least one Fosters while I'm there!!!)
Thanks guys!

Try V.B. (Victorian Bitter)
But we do have Kangaroos jumping up and down every street :laugh2:

We don't get snow in our cities like USA / Europe, so when we say its getting cold, we mean an Aussie winter, which if you come from cold climes, should be alot milder for you. In the height of winter, a wool jumper and an overcoat suffices. In a month time, a light jumper should be ok. In a suit you'll be fine.
Melbourne is right on the ocean, just as Sydney (and most major cities in Australia). So the water will be close to you if you want to go snorkelling.
Have a Fosters, but remember, it's the most famous brand of Aussie beer overseas (esp. USA) but not our best, not by far.
And lastly, forget any Paul Hogan ads from the 80s you may have seen. Don't say to an Aussie "throw another shrimp on the barbie"... we hate that. And don't try to say "G'day" cos you guys just can't get it right, no offense :P Other than that, welcome, enjoy your stay, and have fun.
And come to Sydney. Best city in the world. :)
