    As I type, I am stuck on a train in a tunnel

    It is not all that hot in Sydney today, certainly nothing compared to other capitals, but our trains are dying.....or at least the one I am on is. Luckily I still have 3G access

    Am in a tunnel just past North Sydney. We hopped off the train at NS and was told all was fixed.....

    haha......we are now being sent back to NS station.

    Once burnt twice shy. I won't be getting back on this train.

    NSW - FIX YA $%^$ public transport system

    edit:
    Should have put this in the soapbox section

    All the lights have just gone out. Luckily the MacBook Pro have a backlit keyboard :-)

    1. NSW really should look into their public transport!

    2. My Virgin wireless broadband would also be great for that situation!

    3. Go apple! i have a Mac new 20" Love it!

    LMAO Stevo!

    Why would your virgin wireless be great - if it was stolen? Tracking purposes?

    Apples ARE awesome!

    hehe, Xavie!

    Well I'm out now and on another train with air con and room to move.

    I'd much rather be stuck in traffic in the Landy than on a train stuck in a tunnel with no lights or air con. In fact I'd rather be stuck in the Landy in traffic than be on a working train

    • What has your provider got to do with this thread?
    • Does Virgin fix Sydney Trains?
    • Are you an agent for Virgin wireless broadband?
    • Why is there always some Mac user who pipes in telling us how much they love their Mac, so what, does Apple fix Sydney Trains?


    Rant over!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
