Furnished Sydney house for rent for 6 months.

Lovely 3 bedroom brick veneer furnished house in Dundas (a leafy
suburb between Parramatta and the city)

Just extended and repainted throughout.  Watch birds feeding in
the native garden from the lounge/dining room, which has bush views.
This room includes an 8 seater pine dining table, 3 seater sofa
and armchair, and pine wall units.  Cook in comfort in the
large NEW galley kitchen featuring dishwasher, fan forced oven,
and electric glass cook top.  Washing is a breeze in the
large laundry which includes a heavy duty top loading washing machine,
wall mounted drier, two cupboards and heaps of shelf space.

Sleep soundly in the master bedroom which includes a new queen
sized pine bed, two pine wardrobes and a pine chest of drawers.
The children will love their bedroom which includes 2 single beds
that can also be stacked as bunk beds.  The (brand new) third
bedroom includes a single divan, (but we would get a double bed
if needed) and a pine chest of drawers.

Out the back, you can lounge on the paved verandah and watch
parrots feed in the native garden.  Then stroll up to a medium
sized grassed garden which is completely enclosed and ideal for
very young children.  Watch those children play in the cubby
house which nestles under a magnificent gum tree in the corner
of the garden.

Five minutes walk brings you to Telopea train station, with
trains to Parramatta (15 minutes) or the city (50 mins).  
Carlingford court shopping center (Grace Brothers, Franklins,
Woolworths etc) is just five minutes drive. Dundas is 30 minutes 
drive to the city or 10 minutes into the business centre of 
Parramatta.

The house is available for six months (June to November).
$220 pw (Negotiable).  We will consider renting it unfurnished too.

Reason for renting: owner going on 6 month holiday.

Australian re-distributors are notorious for adding exhorbitant "bonus'" for
themselves, we expect to pay a lot and they happily take our money.

evaluation:

$400   retail U.S.
-10%   distributors who DONT get at least this discount are rare
= $360
   0.70  exchange rate (on the pessimistic side?).
=$515 (approx. :-))
   80  AIR FREIGHT, overnight, express, all the bells and whistles delivery
       (how often have you recieved a product from the U.S. overnight! never?)
-----
= $600

i.e. about $60 profit minimum, for 10 minutes work on the phone or fax sending
the order(s) and telling the customer how great you are.  And this 10 minutes
is usually for a multiple order, so multiply the $60 by the order quantity :-).

Also, they get about $400 profit paid by the sucker that cant get the discounted
price!  OK maybe $100 would come off this $400 to pay the import duty :-).

This one does not work out quite as bad as some of the software I have had cause
to investigate :-).

For those who don't know, the TurboFloppy allows Macs without 1.4Mb floppy

and is quite fast...

I'd like about $250 for it, but any reasonable offers will be accepted

Reply-To: rhys@cs.uq.oz.au

Hi all!

Here's some random thoughts that occurred to me recently.  There are quite a
lot of FAQ-like postings in the aus.* newsgroups these days, such as the
Australian anonymous FTP list, the description of archie.au, etc.  However,
they are spread hither and yon, and are thus not very amenable to being
archived, or being found conveniently in the one spot.

So, I was wondering if an aus.* newsgroup similar to the global news.answers
group could/should be formed?  An alternative is for the aus.* postings to be
posted to news.answers, after asking the moderator for suitable identifiers
for the "Archive-name" headers.  Though, I doubt whether the whole world
would care about most of the regular aus.* postings. :-)

Some issues to be resolved:

	* Should the group be moderated like news.answers, or can trust be
	  relied upon in the smaller Australian net?  Note: news.answers is
	  kind of "self-moderated", with the actual FAQ poster doing the
	  approval. (The details of this process have been suppressed for
	  security reasons :-) .
	* Who should allocate the Archive-name header values?
	* Would archie.au or some other Australian site be archiving the
	  newsgroup (based on Archive-name)?

If this proposal does happen, then it may be a good idea to contact the
moderator of news.answers and ask for a "namespace" in the Archive-name
header value allocation to prevent future clashes with the postings in
news.answers.  Probably "aus-*" or something similar would be fine.  Can't
hurt to ask.

OK.  There's some of my thoughts on the matter.  Flame away ... :-)

Cheers,

Rhys.

P.S. I'd be willing to hand out Archive-name values, but I don't have the
     access rights here at UQ to be a full moderator.

I have been unable to use the archie database. A few weeks ago, I

evince any response. I can do netfetch from archie.au, however.

As I understand, I send a mail message (we have no ftp) to

A description to the comp-academic-freedom-talk mailing list. It is a
free-forum for the discussion of questions such as: How should general
principles of academic freedom (such as freedom of expression, freedom
to read, due process, and privacy) be applied to university computers
and networks? How are these principles actually being applied? How can
the principles of academic freedom as applied to computers and
networks be defended?
