Well fark me, reading all the above, I feel like a newbie to this site, but enjoy every moment of banter & helping people if I can; & a big thank you to those that have helped me thru some technical issues in the past.
I've only met 3 members personally & was pleasantly surprised that my online vision of them was correct, good people all.
Cheers, Tiny

Wow, 20 years. Very long time. Congrats on the aniversary.
I remember my first satellite setup in Exmouth WA, around the same time. 6' dish and PAL decoders. Even had a homemade E-PAL adapter.
Not long after, upgraded to 15' C Band.

I knew I joined before the 'crash of 08' as I had printed out some directions (which I still have) on programing a Humax.
I was and still am an 'Around' the perimeter type of user as much of what I read was beyond me and much of it still is.
As for 'Memory', my neighbour then was an engineer at a factory and he had a 386 or similar and he told me that to add to the memory, the cost was $100 a MB !!
May I wish AUSTECH a Happy Birthday and may it continue to annoy and be politically incorrect for decades to come !!
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
ffs Thoic was the reason we got visits .. shit thats a memory

I was just looking back through archive.org and it looks like I must have started using the domain cdcopyworld.net on UBB in October 2000 (my join date).
I see Bagman was a member then, and likely before so he has been around min 17 years. Anyone else have that many years up ?
Wow, 20 years. My daughter turned 20 September this year. That for me really brings it home. Happy Birthday Austech...

I came here to find out how I could get GWN in the Perth metro area so I could watch my beloved West Coast Eagles live and also watch the cricket live from the WACA. Ended up with a motorised ku dish, motorised c-band dish, half a dozen dreamboxes, card programmers, vhf radio, uhf radios, xbmc, chipped game consoles.....and I still have my wife
Thoic then here...it was well before 2008.. i recall it being called cdcopyworld.
congratulations all
