Re: Telstra sim card - ipad?

Would the internet speed etc, be just as effective as if there was a Telstra modem, which they could use via wifi?


If they just want to use it around the house, get NBN and connect it via wifi - no need for telstra cellular network

If they want to use it out and about, the easiest thing to do would be to buy a 4g modem from telstra and just connect to that via wifi - or buy one of the more expensive ipads and get a data sim for it

I need a new driveway crossover put in.

Anyone had one put in recently or know approx cost?


Anyone dealt with the Marion council of late regarding permits/approval of anything?
I have submitted a permit to have my driveway crossover replaced with the same specs and wondering how long they take to process it.

Still not sure why I have to apply for a permit to replace 'their' footpath at MY expense but anyway I'll await their response.

I live in Marion area. Had a driveway moved from one side of the property to the other about this time last year. The application was a mere formality and did not take long to process. Letters from the council informing us of our obligations were a bit narky, but dealing with the lass at the council approvals office was easy, she is as sweet as pie.

Is there anywhere in the metro area that does processing of photographic film and prints? I dug out my old film camera for shits and giggles, and now I can't find anywhere that does processing without sending the film away for 2 weeks. Sign of the times I guess.

Surely somewhere like Diamonds or Teds (?)in Rundle Street would still do it?

Yeah, but I have to go in to town for that.... :? Somewhere near Marion, Glenelg or Mawson Lakes would be handy.

Last time I went to them with a film they had to send away and it would take a couple of weeks.

I might have this wrong, but I understand it to be using 100watts per hour.
So based on paying $0.30 per Kwatt hour my answer would be $0.03 each hour.
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

It'd be jack sh*t(pun intended).

About 1cent an hour or something similar.
There is a website that will tell you exactly per kw and the cost each appliance uses.
Google it as it is worthwhile to know.
