Re: New Sky User (well, ordered tonight!)
Is it the same as the V2 one, ie 2640s, or is it an updated model? Originally Posted by gorebrush

It is a 2640S, sporting 1.11 FW. Looks like I'll be good to get the broadband username/password out of it as well then - should the need arise.

Extract your router's log in details asap. Copy & paste the details into a text file and save it somewhere safe. Originally Posted by gorebrush

And what a race that turned out to be. Most exciting one for a long time. Originally Posted by gorebrush Yup that's a job for tonight. Would have last night, but the Canadian GP kept me entertained until 1030PM

Re: New Sky User (well, ordered tonight!)
Oh yes
I couldn't believe it when Brundle was talking about the "2 hour limit"
I was sure that Vettel would have been given a win again...
To see him run wide on the last lap, was an utter delight.
Not that I begrudge him the win, he's a very talented and I like him a lot, but it is nice to see someone else win for a change (coincidentally, I felt exactly the same about Schumacher back in his glory days... I loved him as a driver, but even I found it got a bit boring at times!)

Hmphh... You could have extracted the log in details during the 2 hours when the race was Red Flagged!
P.S. Bring back Damon Hill
