O/T: another B I G question

[dezhen2001]

ok, just got home from sydney and university and found my dad is using AOL as his isp :( Now, is there ANY way to still dial up using the AOL connection but NOT, i repeat NOT use the actual AOL prog to browse and stuff? Its friggin' awful :confused:

any advice would be most appreaciated (and no, i already thought of bashing my dad!)

:D

if AOL is connected, i'm pretty sure you can minimize it and use the internet just like you were connected another way. whatever web browser you normally use should still work, as well as instant messenger and any other internet programs you use.

at least it used to :)

[dezhen2001]

hi yup that works ok, thanks a lot. but it really slows my machine down. Also i seem to be having a clash with yahoo messenger... and even sometimes msn messenger...

anyone got any ideas?

its only a pentium 1 pc so needs all the processor and memory free it can have :eek:

Get Netzero for $9.95 a month, and ditch AOL

[dezhen2001]

my dads stubborn and it wont work. he "trusts" aol coz of the tv ads :eek: already told him to go with someone else but he STILL picked aol.

thanks anyway :)

are you, like, sure he's your dad?

I thought AOL usage was genetic.

:)

[joedoe]

The only solution is to kill your father and hide the body. :D

Hey Dez, how was the flight home? Hope you had a good time in Sydney.

[dezhen2001]

bit hard to hide his body mate - hes wider than YOU :eek:

flight was ok home, got to see some great views from the window, and saw cool movies too... had a great time thanks for welcoming me guys and i wish i could have stayed longer. Will have to come back soon :D

Oso: not genetic - geriatric... but its really starting to p|ss me off :(

dawood

[joedoe]

Make sure you let us know when you are coming back. :)

[dezhen2001]

Dawood.

Next time head for more northern shores, I am sure that some of the KFO guys over here will also welcome you.

FYI, no luck of me hitting your shores soon again, once the SARS thingy is over more trips to Shangai will be possible though.

Cheers.

[dezhen2001]

LC: someday i would love to... i had *other* reasons for coming to sydney than kung fu though ;)

Hope the sars thing is all sorted soon, arriving in kuala lumpur was not exactly the nicest thing as there were still plenty of people wearing masks and being screened etc.

Dawood.

You will always be welcome, same to the guys down under and many other KFO folks.

Quiet a few things of interest over here and not all MA related either.

Cheers.

[dezhen2001]

but not as interesting as a certain muslim TKD practitioner and jet li fan :)

would love to tour japan and china someday, but gotta graduate and make $$$ first :D

All I can say is JET for 1~3 yrs or similar.

Do some research.

Cheers.

[dezhen2001]

hehe maybe, we will see what happens :)
guess my aol question is redundant now though LOL!

[Laughing Cow]

Who cares about Ao-hell when there are better things to discuss.

;)

BTW, never used it so I can't give advise.

[dezhen2001]

very true - maybe we should go to the asian women thread :D
i just wish i could connect at more than 11.5k :(

Where exactly are you LC?

[Laughing Cow]

joedoe.

Check your pm.

[joedoe]

Gotcha :)

[Laughing Cow]

Joedoe.

Any chance of you coming up to sample the local wares?
promise no frozen rats, our food is fresh, very fresh.

I guess Serpent could get some nice Bike spares here too.

:D

[joedoe]

No trips planned up your way. I was over there a few years ago for a friend's wedding, but have not been back since. However, it may be on the scope in a few years. How long are you going to be there?

[Laughing Cow]

Joedoe.

I am going to be here for many years to come.

Great MA training, good job and pay.
;)

[Serpent]

Where are you, LC? Japan isn't it?
