Either an imac or a macbook pro. I'm not really sure just yet.

the imac you can get better specs then the macbook pro for less money but the macbook pro is good for mobility and nice long battery life.. so if you travel a lot i would go with the macbook pro

lol i was on the 2mbit but i upgraded to 4. but it costs 50 euros a month. i wonder if after the upgrade the price will go down to what it was when i was paying for 2mbit..

bill pays less for 40mbit then we do for 4mbit with cyta... with a 10mbit upload!!!

so does 4mbit get an upgrade? or nothing? usually cyta send an email but they have sent nothing about any upgrade

[eleni]

Palio,
Actually my son just went back to Cyta last week, after being with another hopeless lot, he asked about the 4 meg and they told him to stay with 2. as they are upgrading within a couple of months & he will get 4. for what he is paying now

oh i see. so really they should drop the price for every one if 2mbit users wil get 4 free?.. lets see what they do...

what isp was he with? cable isp is better but i cant get that in paliometoxo and 10mbit for 69 euros a month

[eleni]

Well I reckon if your on 4. you will probably get the next one up. I don't want to say who he was with because he's having a bit of hassle with them.

[paliometoxo]

its ok, they eventually send an email any way thanks for the information

... It’s a menacing tool by Google ...

oh dear ! pmsl !

... that some websites subscribe to so as to make money that embeds advertising links in a page ...

Adsense delivers adverts within a specified format, no more sinister than a website selling an advert banner to a local company. If you click, the website receives a few cents, monetising a community site (inc. this one) isn't a bad thing - someone has to pay the hosting, admin and development costs right?

.. which of course results in deteriorating speed

What of course ?! When the clients browser renders the page from the webserver the small code snippet to load the advert runs .. the rest of the page doesn't wait for the adsense to load, otherwise your host file fix would knacker all sites with adsense embedded.

.. and sometimes erratic behavior such as browser windows crushing, browser windows opening by themselves, etc.

bull !

.. It’s disgusting

as disgusting as any regular advertising, certainly no worse.

... and the best way to fight it for the time being is to block off their server ...

Fight what ? lmao

...This is OS and Browser independent so EVERYONE is affected!

At least this bit is almost right, if the site you are hosting is using Adsense to generate advertising slots then regardless of browser or operating system then you will get the ads generated on the page.

So now that you have shown everyone how clever you are by admitting that it’s an ADVERTISING TOOL BY GOOGLE that nobody needs or wants, run along like a good little boy and add those two lines to your hosts file.
