With a couple of teenagers in the house, it is really easy to do that amount. We used to be limited to 12 GB & while we came close to the limit, through careful management, we coped but now I think we have 100. Dunno really because I is old & forgetful or maybe I forget because it is irrelevant as we will not blow the download anyway.

 

Just goes to show that it pays to shop around. Hubby did that with the motorbike insurance. For about $200 pa we could get the bike insured for $3,500 which is about 1/4 of its value. We rang Shannons which is touted as a specialist/antique/rare vehicle insurer as we were told they would insure for agreed value. Just why then did the bird on the phone with the first insurer ask me if I wanted market or agreed value?? So less than $100 gets $12,000 worth of insurance.

Hmmm, 2 teenagers together would more than double the usage I would think :P

A quote for my first car insurance (once I pass my test) will cost more than the car would be worth.

 

@  barbieq - I'm very responsible with internet use :|  I swear I only use 20 gig of it :lol:

 

@ Welshblue - I'm sure my Dad would tear his hair out with another teenager in the house, the thing he hates most about winter is his shed is too cold to escape to for a little bit of sanctuary :lol:

Grew a half inch in two years. Mom noticed.

It's almost like she measures my height while I'm sleeping...uncanny.

No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait

CREEEPY. I met a guy in a senior student cruise who is like a better version of me D:
1. he has curly hair; I had curly hair at about the same length until I had it cut 2 days ago
2. he wears thick-framed glasses similar to mine only rounder
3. he's gay too
4. he's atheist as well
5. he's vegan
6. he is an environmentalist like I am.
7. he is half-Turkish(Kurdish, close enough) from his father's side, half-Finnish from his mother's side like I am.
8. his mother teaches Swedish, so does mine.

If I got to know him better, things like his music taste etc. I bet I'd find even more similarity... EERIE
Too bad my poltergeist is better looking than I and more outgoing, too. :C

Thank you Paint.net for making my life so much easier... If it were not for you I would have to shell out hundreds of dollars to buy software I refuse to buy because it cost hundreds of dollars and I am a cheaspskate. Hey I like to save money who doesn't? lol

But no seriously, I've used tons of photoshops and corels and god those programs just irk me BECAUSE they are so unbelievably massive and require computers only some place like MIT would have... I don't want a thousand dollar computer with software adding up to those thousands, I'd never be able to use it because I'd be working my self to death just trying to afford them...

Here's what I mean... I used Corel in 2007 to do a basic template for a race track I was trying to create, yes it worked and was a literal nightmare of epic proportions taking hours to do the most simple tasks...

... And now Paint.net comes into the picture... easy to use, small and doesn't take a lot of resources, expandable with so many effects available and can do so much with ease!! I finished the track that I couldn't do in a week over 6 years ago with Adobe Photoshop or corel... in about an hour and a half with Paint.net... and I've only been using it like a few months... I feel like slapping myself sometimes thinking why haven't I used PDN sooner? :(

You Sir, are high maintenance!  Didn't we just buy you a load of firewood?  :lol:

 

I don't know what's going on with your version of Quick Reply.  That is some seriously strange looking links you have going on there.  Weirdly, they still work.  Try posting the raw link without any formatting?

That is THEIR fault for rolling out sub optimal updates.  Keep hassling them :)
