    How do I disable IE in XP?

    Hi all. I promised Sim I would never post to somersoft again however he hasnt answered my personal message yet so I think I'll try and sneak one more in (extremely reluctantly and with sincere guilt and only due to the fact that the subject at hand is very relevant to my recent experience)...

    Inflation for Dummies!

    Bill.L Your starting to make a lot of sense with regards to the stagflation scenario. I didnt understand your "inflation" posts previously. At the time deflation was the big threat. If your correct- funny how things change in just 12 months. I worry about how sharp the next...

    Updating to Digital Camera. What to look for??

    Prices have dropped considerably in the last year. Go for a minimum 4 megapixel with a minimum 5x optical zoom. I have a pentax with these specs and it sold for $1200 a year ago. Now half that price. Stick with the well known brands and chose a camera with a battery that is rechargeable...

    Best way to tell an agent you don't want to sell anymore?

    Exy Stay with superteds advice. Wait till the contract runs out then sell privately. Ideally wait 3 more months, just to be sure. The only time you can get into trouble is if the agent can prove that he/she introduced the future buyer to the property. Thats why many agents take names...

    Adelaide a lost cause......

    Thankyou all. Your kind words do help. Less whiskey in the blood today. Shouldnt post whilst pissed :eek: About the car comments. I think everyone at mitsi's knows what has to happen. But we do what the Japs say. I still think the Australian media has a lot to answer for. Once these...

    Adelaide a lost cause......

    Hey fester Have I got some deals for you! I lost my job today, so did my father in law and brother in law. 2 months ago my other brother in law was made redundant from sola optical (across the road). As was my friend from the refinary (across the railway line) Last year my wife and her...

    Adelaide a lost cause......

    Sim I guess it doesn't get much simpler than that. It's all about perception. I can produce all the facts and figures in the world about how good an operation MMAL is (as opposed to the Jap operations where corruption seems to be endemic) but at the end of the day YOUR opinion will be...

    Adelaide a lost cause......

    Sim I work at Mitsubishi, and am interested in why you think it's a lost cause. I dont see it that way. I have read every single internet and media article over the last 10 years about Mitsubishi and DaimlerChrysler and it's usually baseless speculation, mostly starting in some Jap...

    Interest rates to remain steady woo hoo!

    No, I dont see dropping prices. Nor doom and gloom. Nor do I even predict it. But since I believe an investment property HAS to be the right house with the right attributes, gees its much easier to go looking now without feeling like you have to bid top dollar at the first open to even stand...

    Interest rates to remain steady woo hoo!

    Surely GeoffW you woke up to reality 10 months ago, and hedged your bets by fixing interest rates and ummmmmmmmm holding off on purchases because there may be better bargains ahead? Or.... maybe you decided to support the fanatics who were saying at that time- Now is the time to buy and it...

    Is Syndey Overpriced

    And by the way, Glenn, Acey. I'm not a pessimist. I have settled in the last 10 months. I am in the process of planning a 2 townhouse subdivision. Value adding! I do not believe there will be a bust, nor have I ever suggested there would be. Just a very long plateau which newbies...

    Is Syndey Overpriced

    LB Good onya mate! In the last month I have seen this:- Close friend's property has sold 5 times and fallen thru 5 times, mostly AFTER cooling off! Seems the only ones left in the market are the ones who either don't know what a contract means or can't get finance. Drove past a first...

    Is Syndey Overpriced

    My appologies Geoffw Yes I was appreciative that you made the effort to contact me and explain why you pulled the post. I agreed with you at the time that I was out of line, even though I was simply jumping on the bandwagon. Who ever pulled the second post didn't own up to it so I...
