Normally I would not have complained about a 100MB download - well one
shouldn't need to in this day and age with fast internet. But
unfortunately in South Africa the consumers get screwed left and
right. I pay ridiculous amounts for 500MB of data that expire in 30
days - they (telecoms companies) are very optimistic to think 500MB
will last 30 days.

Before, when I ran ran both at work and home on a 32bit Ubuntu, it was
nice. I downloaded packages at work, used Apt-on-CD to create a
repository on a disk - I could then install at home without problems
or internet downloads required. Unfortunately I now run 64-bit at work
and 32-bit at home. :-/  Time for a home upgrade I guess. :)
