damn Wombie's parents are going to court because the mobile fone company says they need to pay up for the fone, because they couldn't stay on the plan. But I rekon they win coz it wasn't their falt that the storm came and flooded their house.

Man my fone has lost its reception for some reason!!
the hell is going in Telstra?
News Update: Channel Ten News
Afternoon Kelly Sullivan reporting from the Telecommunications Centre of Australia.
The Chairman of the Telecommunications Centre is here with us today, Nicholas Lochaks why are your servers jamming up the system?
No you must be mistaken because there is no jamming in our system and we merely have a simple breach of security in out first line of phone servers. This will simply affect most mobile phones for about 30 minutes and we will contain the situation to the best of our ability.
We have just received information that an anonymous group may have released a multiple number of viruses or worms, which are multiplying and infecting the Telecorp.
The Chairman is advising anyone to stop using their phone and turn it off immediately, with the battery taken out for health and safety reasons
The worms or viruses seem to be called HyperlacticRegenarativeViruses or HRV, when certain parts of the system share files or come into any sort of contact with another hard drive it infects not only its own hard drive but the one it is going to.
The Worms are continuously multiplying to eventually override the system, basically making the system implode on itself. Crushing it from the inside.
******
Ever since the Telecommunications Centre had gone into non-existence caused by the worms, mobile phones that were used all over Australia were worthless. The Telecommunications Centre eventually went bankrupt and the millions of dollars that went into developing it suddenly just disappeared.
The teenagers that used to have the mobile phones revolved around their lives are starting to revert back to writing letters instead of calling each other up. The children are no longer sitting down playing with their phones but going out with their friends.
The schools have reported better learning standards are now being reached ever since the Telecommunications Centre had collapsed, students are concentrating on their education instead of outdoing the person next to them in a txting race.
