Airport compromised warning
Ever since I upgraded to Airport 3.4.1 I've been getting a weird error when downloading. The wireless network appears to have been compromised and will be disabled for about a minute. Then of course the network doesn't come back up after a minute and I have to power cycle the base station to get it to work again. This only occurs when I'm transferring large amounts of data (500-600mb) over a SSL encrypted ftp connection. The wireless security setting is WPA personal. Anyone else seen this message?

Re: Has Your iBook Screen Ever Been Scratched By The Keyboard?
Anyone out there using an iBook in the 'Ice Book' form factor (i.e. white polycarbonate version) with scratches on the screen as a result of the screen RUBBING against the keyboard during transit? In many cases the screen isn't actually scratched, it's finger oil from the keyboard being transferred onto the screen when the screen rubs against the keyboard whilst the lid is closed. A bit of gentle judicious cleaning can remove the marks from the screen, but you will probably need the chux or whatever to keep them from re-occurring.

Can someone tell me how to rectify this problem please? I tried my classic install disk but said I could not install other than with a clean install. I will soon need to install a Classic environment on a computer that has only Mac OS X, so I am interested in how you fare. My first thought is: is there any problem with a clean installation? I would not think it would be any problem, since the Mac OS 9 System Folder and Applications folders are independent of Mac OS X's. The only hitch might be that the computer could start booting straight into Mac OS 9 instead of Mac OS X, but that's easily fixed in System Preferences. As far as I know, you should just be able to install Mac OS 9. When you run it under Mac OS X's Classic environment, I am under the impression Mac OS X will perform some updates for you (i.e. integrating Mac OS 9 with Mac OS X Classic a bit better) so you don't even have to worry about having Mac OS 9.2.2 (although that is what I will be installing). Anyway, I don't *know* if it is safe to do this -- I am just speculating.

If you have the whole of Panther and OS 9 on a DVD, it's just a case of running the 'Install Applications and Classic Support'. However if it's in several CDs you do have to do a clean install of OS 9, after starting up from the CD. This is what I had to do when installing Jaguar on an old G3 (I decided to install OS X first). After you do this and run Classic under OS X it should update the system files in the System Folder.

On the OSX eMac at work, booting up while holding down 'X' does the trick, too. I was hoping it would boot into OSX 'just this once' - but it seems to change the selected startup folder permanently.

Re: Panther and classic
Agnus The following may be of interest to you, these ebooks will answer all the questions and are a good reference guide to keep. Upgrading to Panther has a section about installing OS 9 before or after installing OS X. Will cost you US$5, well worth the investment.

Printing iPhoto Diary
Dear WAMUGers I'm playing with the photos from my trip and trying to present the best ones in a Coffee Table type book/album. One way I'm thinking of is using iPhoto's book facility and the Storybook layout which also allows me to write a short paragraph in the comments field with each page. I'm wondering what the next step would be? I could print the 20 or so pages on Premium Glossy paper, but how would I bind them? Or I could print it to PDF and take it to someone. Would a photographic place print and bind them into a book/album? Any ideas please would be gratefully accepted.

http://www.folklore.org/index.py
For those who haven't seen it yet check out: http://www.folklore.org/index.py It is a web site created by Andy Hertzfeld (of early Macintosh fame) that is devoted to collective historical storytelling. The site captures and presents sets of related stories that describe interesting events from multiple perspectives, allowing groups of people to recount their shared history in the form of interlinked anecdotes. Currently, the Folklore site only supports a single project, about the development of the original Macintosh, but that will be changing soon. It is interesting stuff ... particularly for elderly people like me (and perhaps some of you). I first saw a Mac in my Professor's home office in Brisbane in 1985, fell in love with the machine at first sight, and then saved my pennies until I could afford to buy a Macintosh SE (twin floppy) about 5 years later for more money than I care to mention ... OUCH!! Anyway, enjoy! --- Richard Kay Fremantle Western Australia
Apple Certified Portable Technician Course In Perth In May 2004
Any lay people out there done the Apple Certified Portable Technician course which Apple is conducting in Perth in May 2004? What was it like? Feel free to mail me direct, as most people would not be interested in this topic. I have an iBook 14 G3 which is soon to become an iBook 12 G4 and would like to learn more about my Mac and, as an intellectual challenge, would like to learn how to strip it down and fix it as required. With a background in nursing, law, town planning, and philosophy I'm not really a handyman/technology type (I tend to live in the world of ideas) ... but I'm willing to learn about this stuff. I can stitch human tissue nicely, and have steady hands when it comes to neuro-surgical procedures (e.g. brain operations) and accident and emergency room procedures, so I am hoping that that will suffice.

Canon printer will not print.
I have been trying to get a CANON BC 2100 printer work with an iMAC. Installed the driver, put in new cartridges and All I can get is pale blue and grey. I have tried test patterns with boxes of colour Red, yellow, green and dark blue but nothing. I am thinking the printer head is blocked through irregular use. I realise that I can get a new one for ?$100, but for that I might as well by a new printer. This one has both USB and Serial, and thats eseential. So to clean the carrier? I was thinking, high purity water and mild ultrasound. Anyone argue against that? Would say a 5% methanol solution be another possibility? Any NO No s? Bill

My following suggestions may not work in iPhoto but you may be able to work out a way of doing it anyway. I would suggest you try set up your pages, including text as part of the photo, so as to print them as a composite image on a canvas size of 20inches by 32inches (this is called a Poster Size Print by the prof labs). The poster would need to be saved as a JPEG with a DPI of around 200 - 300. Save to CD and take to someone like Mirage Photo Lab in Hay St Subi or Fitzgeralds in North Perth. You could then trim up each page out of the Poster Print either have the pages spiral bound (adding your own card or whatever cover) by an office supply retailer or ask the photo lab to trim spiral bind for you. Poster prints average around $35. Hope this helps Denise Williams-Photographer Ph/fax 08- 9447 3468 Mob 0417 184592
