The major problem seems to be that you can't easily find hotspots when you are out and about, if they were built into tomtom it would be great.

Thanks again chris

No problems

They have given me another invite, so if anyone else isn't able to get a free router at the moment because they live outside the regions included in the free router promo please send me a PM.

Cheers

Cris.

will people please stop registering for this BBS, sending me a short and quite frankly rude messages and expect me to send them something for free, it just isn't going to happen!

I just think it's a cheek!!! A bit like walking up to a house in the summer and asking if they can have a burger from your BBQ.

That happened to me when I was at Uni, I'd dropped one in the floor about 5 mins prior so I gave them that one. I remember my back yard was a 'dumping ground' for the local bird population so you never know, it might've made him blind!

I'm not sure what you're saying. Is it that "route" is derived from "router" rather than the other way around?

Quote:
Certainly in US English, "route" has existed as both a verb and a noun since before the Internet, usually referring to roads and directions.

Quote:
No, just that "route" the verb was derived from "route" the noun relatively recently

A year or two back I read a news article where a Lady Somebody was visiting Australia/NZ and met a rugby team who were playing another country the following day. She spoke to the captain and said "we're all rooting for you", to which he replied "I think we are capable of doing that ourselves, thanks".
