I plan to buy an Acer Revo 3700 netbox ,I have a choice of Win 7

or Linux OS installed,I would prefer the Linux,but as I know

nothing about Linux,I would be very grateful if anyone could

answer a few questions i have about Linux.

I only use the computer for very simple tasks,like surfing,

e mail,watching BBC iPlayer,ITV Player ect,and streaming

radio.

1) Can I watch BBC iPlayer ect , will have flash and unblock-us

installed ?

2) Can I use google mail ?

3) Can you use Opera browser with Linux?

4)Do I need a firewall and AntiVirus installed?

5) Is there an app like CCleaner for Linux?

Thanks in advance for any help , regards Worgeordie

One thing Newcastle United fans are not short of is drama!

Most of the decisions of late by the management have not

been in the best interest of the fans or the club.

Pushing good British players out the door to bring in

French players who I am sure will not have the same

passion or commitment ,looks like another season

on the roller coaster ride, wheres the heart pills!

Take care Worgeordie

All you need to do is drive over the Thai border from Malaysia,

where everyone on a motorcycle wears a helmet,and the majority.

of drivers obey the rules of the road, 50 yards into Thailand and

the difference is like day and night, its all down to Thai people

not liking rules and no enforcement in the law in Thailand

Thailand the Wild West of the East !

Take care Worgeordie

Been here 25 years and theres nowt wrong with me

kind regards Worgeordie

Unblock-us is the way to go, got the free 7 days trial and it works perfectly,

will subscribe to yearly contract when trial is over, you get BBC iPlayer,

ITV player, and several US providers too.

Also very easy to set up,just click the button that does it for you automatically,

in the past have tried several free options but they were not reliable,so happy

to pay a few bob,just to get the iPlayer ,worth it, NOW just need to work out

how to stream content to my tv.

Kind regards Worgeordie

I have been watching BBC and ITV on the BBC iPlayer with the

BBC plug in and it has been working great until this morning ,and

I find something has changed and get 500 fault ?, So just hope

someone can fix it soon.

Your problem ITV stuttering most likely caused by ExpatShield slowing

things down as its a VPN,

I have seen Ceylon(Sri Lankan) tea in both Rimping and Tops,cannot remember

the brand but was definitely from Sri Lanka.

Word of caution bringing in tea through customs ,my daughter was very lucky

that they let her through with my supply of Yorkshire tea ,they found something

else they could levy tax on ,but said next time it would be confiscated !!

Twinnings is expensive,Liptons not strong enough ,even if you left in cup

all day,and the brand manufactured in Chiang Mai,not good enough.

kind regards Worgeordie

Yes its also slow here in Sansai, ,well, when I say slow,quicker

posting letter to UK.and its not only Google but Yahoo mail as

well, AOL not so bad.

regards Worgeordie

All the channels are still there,TRUE have just been messing about with

the channel numbers AGAIN, They said with the last big change of numbers

that would not need to do it again,BUT of course they have,think they just like

to to mess about with their customers.

So I have just got all my channels sorted out the way I like them, and they are

all there you just have to look for them.

regards Worgeordie

Well its about time they increased the interest rates ,but I suppose

inflation will just keep going through the roof ,so will still be in a

negative position.

Remember the time here I could get 18% interest, price of things

about half of todays prices, Ah! the good old days,gone forever?

I think so, regards Worgeordie

Try checking other channels ,as True has changed the numbers

on some channels,everytime I get them in the order I like, they

change them, I thought last time they did a big reordering of

the channels that would be it, BUT this is True and sometimes

I wonder if they just do to annoy their customers!!!

Regards Worgeordie,

Vimto, believe they manufacture and sell it in Burma,some quirk

leftover from British rule there.

Regards Worgeordie

Yes go to myiplayer .com .download BBC Iplayer plug in,

free,works great,nothing else needed

regards Worgeordie

Just bought a pair of 2.0X at the shop that sells all Japanese

goods at Nim City Daily Mall near the airport,

Only 65bht and just as good at the ones I paid Bht 6K for,

Just use them for reading and its good to have 2nd pair.

regards Worgeordie

Finding TOT here at San Sai terrible,been slow for last couple of months

but last few days it has gone down to a crawl,pages slow to load and cannot

even stream radio stations, supposed to have 3MBs ,but its just dial up

speed!!

Their bill arrived today, so will take a trip to the office, BUT already know

it will not be their fault, never is, !!! TIT.

regards Worgeordie

It seems Newcastle United is trying to get rid of all their British players

and are bringing in the French, so will a name change be in order from

the Magpies to Les Blues!!!, and will the Frog on the Tyne be ringing

out from the stands this season.

Been a Newcastle supporter is like been on a roller coaster,so many ups

and downs,highs and lows, BUT we still back the club ,even though the

management never seems to have the best interest in the fans.

Looking forward to the new season ,wheres the heart pills!!

Regards Worgeordie

I am looking for a supply of Rhubarb,say 5-10Kg as I want to make

rhubarb and ginger jam,pies ,crumble and would be nice with custard.

Over the years I have tried several times to grow from seed,and even

had some rootstock brought from UK, but maybe due to the weather

or me not having a green thumb, they never took off.

Surprised none is imported from China country of origin ,wish some

vegetable importers would bring some in along with parsnips and swedes,

as the quality of Chinese vegetables ,caulis broccoli,carrots look very good,

not sure about chemical content but!

Thanks ,regards Worgeordie

WEtv have spread their network to our Mooban on Mae Jo Road,and before

I subscribe to their service I would like to get feed back from people whom

already have WEtv.

I already have True !!, but I would like to use WEtv to view SyFy ,Universal,

Oz Network and Asian Food Channel

What I would really like to know is their picture,sound poor,good or excellent

Do they show better more current movies than the crap True keeps grinding

out.

Also do they use a set top box or plug cable into tv and tune stations in?

Thank you Worgeordie

Mine slow for few months, in San Sai,thought because of school holidays,

but kids returning to school made no difference, cannot even stream radio,

and I am supposed to have 3MBs , but it is reliable never cuts out,so thats

a plus I suppose .

kind regards Worgeordie

Maybe they have nothing better to do and have something missing in their life,

I myself lurked for a couple of years on Thai Visa afraid to ask even a simple

question or make a comment due to what i saw happen to others that did

and fell foul to the unjustified, and uncalled for nasty comments,that achieved

nothing, other than to make people think twice before posting for help or make

a comment,

It costs nothing to be civil and to show kindness and be helpful to others,

and the World and Thai Visa would be a better place

Take care ,kind regards Worgeordie

Check out classifieds Thai Visa Chiang Mai someone has

3 different styles of punching bags for sale, not cheap though

regards Worgeordie

Try www.satthai.tv they have cards receivers for K+ and also Skynindo,

which has better channels inc HD and is C band so not problems with

the rain, regards Worgeordie
