  1. does anyone know how to access hotmail when there are firewalls in the way? i'm using a shared PC and don't want to download any programs if possible.

     

    i know very little about computers and would occasionally like to check emails.

     

    & yes, i know the blocks are there for a reason.i'd just really like to check my mail occasionally.

     

     

    thank you!

  2. just when i was becoming impressed at the level of intelligent debate on this forum,someone goes and brings up aussie hiphop!

     

    and in defence of bandanna-wearing riders everywhere - it's not always about style! wasn't shaun white the lad who started it all, to protect his pasty ginga skin from the sun? im not a fan of the goggle tan, occasionally bandanna up to protect against the sun/wind/ice.

    I can understand how back in the day when resorts didn’t allow boarders or treated them differently to skiers, choosing to ride a snowboard said something about a person’s willingness to conform but geez, that was years ago. Being a boarder now is about as rebellious as becoming a CPA.
    is snowboarding a mass participation sport? (in my jhschool english classes my teacher insists i say 'i like skiing', as these city students don't know about snowboarding!)

    i don't think snowboarding has wrapped itself up in counterculture - as you said, it was a counterculture & many people like to embrace that fact.

    & i bet plenty of CPAs enjoy snowboarding holidays this winter!
