Stephen, totally agree. Be human, simple; if your job requires you to approximate human behaviour, get another one.

You mean you weren't born at Tauranga? You're Australian! Woot, woot, woot!
Just kidding, just kidding. Serious questions, are the AB's still a national side? Who owns the AB's now? Are the Maori AB's an indigenous side? Why can't the Maori AB's play in TWC? -
The Burbs are The Borg (we will pave you); Che's kryptonite.

Kids in TV land, you been duped.

But Che, pleased to meet you but don't you know my name?

I'm a funny TV watcher. At the local vid complex (deep in the Burb) we get 5 for 5.00 for 1 week (not blockbusters!). Also I surf waves, mow lawns (least we be blacklisted) once a week at this time of year with catcher (and that includes mowing the nextdoor strip, community, ya know), do other mysterious pursuits, but TV I love, for reasons I can't go into here.
However, I still say give you, Keith Ng, RB (who should be head of the new digi TV unit) and Craig and whoever else who isn't evil, a handicam, a credit card and a licence to shoot.
BTW, our community newspaper gives more news than TVNZ, that's a plug for Nor West News, fan bloody tastic, and the calf prices too. -
Che, maybe some deep Burb immersion at my place, we have 2 sets of ranch sliders, a spa landing area (but no spa) and the obligatory red pavement ringing the cul-de-sac (love that term). We're also getting our own mini mall designed like a Tuscan village. We may all have to wear Tuscan peasant costumes to shop locally.
I think that's a good thing. Thanks to ARC we're getting a train trial soon (use it or lose it!) so we're can be a real dormitory 'burb, they're the best ones. -
I have worked at very high-tech international companies, for 3D, GPS, Graphics Cards, Twin Core, HUD displays, the list goes on, and I'll tell you, though I met and discussed stuff way over my head with Nobel prize winners and serious algorithmic wunderkindes with congenital propeller heads, no-one was a Trekkie and no-one designed for the end user. Sad, frightening, but true.
And come on you got thing for Teh Burbs, gwan. -
I dunno, but it never left my head and pops into memory when anyone has a demonstrable fear of something, sorry Che, but did you read that comment?
The Burbclaves harbour deep, deep passions and I would argue that that's where the real innovators are, look around you that accountant is building her own media server, at home...so she can do her own performance art and broadcast it to the others in the street. -
but then thought, waitaminute, tech people are the leaders in this field - what they do will set trends for what happens out in the burbclaves.
Che, come, come, come to the burbclaves, Satan's there...(thanks Black Sabbath).

People said you were easily led,
were they half right?
