Tech Wired Australia has been supplied with a specific set of routers that we’ve requested. We wanted to show some noteworthy routers that are out in the marketplace. Some are notable for their features, others for their price. And one for being horrendously terrible. |
EVERY so often a product or service comes along that makes me say “Man, I wish I’d thought of that”. BuzzNumbers, which launched today, is a prime example of such a service.

AFTER getting poor responses from Stephen Conroy’s office and being referred to my local member, Shadow MP Ian Macfarlane as discussed in Part One of this article, I started a small email chain with my local member.

WHEN you send a Government department an email or a letter relating to
a piece of legislation they’re trying to pass that you wish to comment

related to the issue at hand.
The response I got from the local MP was even sadder.
