thanks for the advice bec - ill be sure to take heed
i spose i should just buy the books - there seems to be endless advantages to that choice...

yeah... its a budget killer but i seriously think that they will come in handy again.. and especially in 2nd year you eill notice that all our subjects are pretty much the same..

to use dialup internet @ uni is not hard to set up, all you have to do is change your dialup phone number to work with the calling cards.

So your ISP dialup number would be

411,,,1,<calling card number>,,,<ISP dialupnumber>

the 411 is so you can dialout, the comma's are pauses so it waits a bit before it starts dialing the numbers so it works with the system

hope i explained that good. Just make sure u share whatever you download!

Thanks for the help about the net, but I spose I've now gotta weigh-up the costs to find the cheapest way to go.

Spose dial-up would be the cheapest, though downloading will take yonks.

if you do go dialup, get an isp plan that doesnt disconnect you after a certain amount of hours because a local call on the calling cards is 50 cents!
