I found my old house in Wellington. Someone has painted the roof
orange (It was green when I owned it). Sadly Hamilton is still
low-res, as is Palmerston North, but my mums place in tauranga is
almost as good as my house here in the UK...

Nice to see better res in some places, but the NZ coverage still needs
a lot of work.

Oh yea. Works great on my r50p with xorg r300 drivers... Suspend & all.
