Isn't it bloody wonderful?! 
I was setting myself up this'eve, gettin' all ready to listen to the AFL Grand Final on webcast...
Well, what do I find? They don't webcast it, do they?  Bloody greedy networks no doubt. They want everyone to pay.
I was really disappointed about it...
Then my little sister logs on to MSN. So I says, "Hey sis, point the webcam and the mic at the TV will ya?" And bugger me... I'm watching and listening to the Grand Final LIVE over the Internet!!!   
So as I write this, I'm sitting in my parents living room back in Oz, watching the Grand Final with 'em! Can you believe it?!
The audio is perfect. The video is jumpy but totally watchable. I'm just totally amazed!
And the best part is... I can watch Bathurst!!! Woo hoo!!!
I'd like to watch the NRL Grand Final, too, but it's 2am Sunday my time. A tad too late in the eve for me...
What'd we ever do without computers and the internet..?
GO THE EAGLES!!!

Off Topic i.e. doesn't relate to 924's, Porsches or cars in general.

It's completely illegal to rebroadcast a copyrighted program especially live. But wait, it's in Australia, maybe ABC will not care!!

Australia Broadcasting Company (ABC) is owned by the council right?

The ABC is Federally funded.
But it's not telecast on the ABC, it's telecast on a commercial network.

Woo hoo! That's my team!
Couldn't stay up long enough to watch it, unfortunately. Still, it's great that they won! My old man actually flew down to be at the game... bet he's got a sore head 
AND... AND, Herr Schumacher took the win in Shanghai! He's tied with Alonso in Championship Points! Two races to go! Who said F1's boring?!
