Don't know what it was at your place last night but at the Mareeba Rodeo grounds it poured, 15 mm in one hour. it's a bit of a lake in some areas but at least the forecast is possible drizzled for today.

Hi Guys, I have just been reading about Windows 8, looks like it maybe not a good idea to upgrade, most of the tech site's I visit are saying it's nothing like the old Win operating systems. Upgrade's will be only $39.99 for a certain time period but beware, I suggest you have a look at the new OS before you u...
