CommPost: Pyro II launch/specials
Today we launch our brand new Pyro II 3.5 FireWire hard drives Not only are these a genuine brushed aluminium case but they have the fastest Oxford 911 chipset that we have tested - even faster than our FireCube product that was rated by US MacWorld as one of the 3 fastest FireWire enclosures available (the other two being LaCie and Granite Digital). Combined with a low-noise fan, the Pyro II's solid aluminium casing affords the highest level of heat dissipation available for the new, big (read hot !) hard drives. As an introductory offer, EXCLUSIVE to our mail/news list, we will supply an 80GB Pyro II drive for $399, or a 120GB Pyro II drive for $499 - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/pyro/index.html or a Pyro II FireWire enclosure for $159 (normally $175) http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/enclosures/pyro/index.html The offer expires Friday 6/12 - please write WAMUG special in the comments field at checkout so you are billed the exclusive mail list price.

A 40GB FireStorm is $449 (normally $459) - again type WAMUG special at checkout to be invoiced the special price. http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/firestorm/index.html We've pushed the Taiwanese manufacturer to provide promotional pricing to help support the launch of this great new product which they have also extended to our FireStorm product.

Re: Printer woes
I had can't get a printer to show in my printer list. I reinstalled software but no luck. Help says all I have to do is select the one I want but if it's not there? Ihave a G4 running OSX .2.1 any suggestions? I actually deleted the one I had cos when it printed it would stop at printing page 0 of 1 worked sometimes but not other times and was getting worse so I decided to delete it and reinstall but have been foiled :( You neglected to mention what sort of printer it is, and which software you installed.

Re: Keychain passwords
Entourage keeps asking for passwords for my mail account, even though I entered them in accounts, they disappear. I tried to access the keychain but that is locked even tho I'm logged in. I tried using keychain firstaid, but that says it can't open key chain either. Anybody got a clue? You could always try deleting your keychain and creating a new one. This assumes of course that you can remember all the passwords in it! Keychains are in ~/Library/Keychains folder. If your keychain password is the same as your login password the keychain should be unlocked automatically when you login. If you've installed the old PGP beta I've got a sneaking suspicion that it interacts poorly with the Keychain at the moment, so you might want to update the PGP beta.

Video CD's in OSX10.2.2
Hi Guys, I can't play my Video CD's in Quicktime 6.0.2 OSX10.2.2. The CD's are ISO 9660. I've searched the Knowledge Base found the below answer :-) Does this mean I will have to boot into OS9 every time I want to play my iMovies that I've burn't to VCD's using Toast Titanium ? Mac OS X's Quicktime can not play VCDs natively like OS 9's can. You'll need either VideoLAN (freeware) or MacVCD X (shareware).

Mounting SCSI devices in OSX
I have two SCSI peripherals, a UMAX Astra 1220S scanner and a LaCie 12-10-32 CD writer, running from an ADAPTEC SCSI card on a G4/400 with OSX 10.2.2. They perform fine in OSX with VueScan for the scanner and Toast Titanium for the CD burner. As they are used only intermittently, I normally leave them powered off except when I am going to need them. If they are powered on at startup, then they are either or both recognised, mount and work normally. If powered on after startup, however, they are not recognised and I am unable to make the bus rescan to find them. Putting the system to sleep and then reawakening does not work. In OS9 SCSI probe performed this function but as far as I can find there is not an OSX version, nor will it work in Classic. Having to restart to bring up the scanner or CD writer is not the end of the world but very inconvenient. Has anyone out there got a solution to this, please?

klez message
I got this today: == Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm. It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . It came with attachements which will not forward and I have not touched: HTML.pif _tn_Brewer+Twins+-+7[1].htm I simply ask, how does this get to me? Do I have the darn thing? I am now getting the occasional email not intended for me and from people I have sent emails to in the past. Its a worry because I suspect I am inadvertently passing on some bug that will affect the PC users I correspond with. What is the best action to take?

FireWire and USB, on the other hand, are bus technologies which were designed to be dynamically reconfigurable. -- Andrew Nielsen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Starfish Technologies Pty Ltd http://www.starfish.net.au/ ACN 076 426 714 / ABN 49 426 849 601 Tel: 0500 555 677 Consultants in Unix, Mac OS, Windows networking technologies

Re: Apple being a bully...
I agree it's a bit heavy handed of Apple Computers to do this, especially the $10 fee and Apple Communications sounds more like it is a part of Apple Computers than Apple Carpet Cleaning.
