2GB Sunday September 18

Had a few interesting calls this week, but one that really caught my eye was from Steve who had lost an auction on eBay only to be gazumped by another person, which is against the rules of ebay. However, things took a nasty turn when Steve objected to the way the situation was handled and told the seller that he thought she was out of order. What followed were a few nasty emails and SMS’s. My advice to people is not to get involved in these types of things. I know it can be very annoying when this happens, but you have to ask yourself if it is worth the heartache. If it gets too nasty, I would involve the authorities and get hold of ebay and tell them what has happened.

Also spoke to Louie Bousalim who installs control systems in houses. One thing he uses is Control 4, which is a universal remote that can control every piece of remote control gear in your house – from all you AV gear, to airconditioning through to your curtains.
