oh thats right! I'd say I'd probably have to get online at 5.30-5.45 and continually refresh...like I do with ticketek to get the best tix

From memory bos put up another server due to it getting clogged up. Cant remember if it was them or UAC, might have been both. I know that I got on pretty much straight away for both UAC and bos

UAc put up a 2nd server, from what I remember

not sure about BOS

Oh no! I feel really stupid now. I just 'registered'- well I sent an SMS to the number. I was looking at that web page and I couldn't see a date for when the service opened/started so I just figured that when they put that page up the lines were open for the service. Damn. That's like 55c down the drain- yes I'm cheap

I decided that the student online site would be really busy and I wouldn't be able to get in on the day so SMS seemed like a good idea.

*sigh* How stupid am I?

that's so funny, the 'traditional way' on the 'net'

my dad reckons that when he did it like 20 yrs ago they just used to publish every1s results in the paper (SMH i think) by their school...but when he did it it was also out of 500 so yeah...

also can we still get it texted if we are on prepay??i usually get a vodafone cap....and do they also txt ur UAI or is that seperate??..another question im doin da hsc over 2 yrs so does that mean i will get half my results and half my uai or what??like nobody at my skl can say coz we r the 1st yr 2 do it like this....

newayz gud luck!!!!
