Warning messages
Just a reminder to anyone receiving automated warning messages from the list server. This situation is beyond our control. Maclaunch runs the server, and we have reported the problem to them. The messages are generated automatically. There is nothing we can do about them short of unsubscribing addresses from the list. We cannot fix it. We are working on our own solution, but it's a slow process. If anyone has strong PHP and MySQL skills -- especially involving sending and receiving email -- we are desperately looking for help. Our new software will be a lot better when it gets done, and we will release it as open source once it's up and running. But until we can manage things like reading incoming email and sending it out again, managing subscription requests, etc., we're stuck with the current setup. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. http://cobwebpublishing.com http://lowendmac.com http://digital-views.com http://digigraphica.com http://lowendpc.com http://reformed.net The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently. -- Nietzsche -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

More from the list mom
In response to some recent issues, I've added the following paragraphs to the list FAQs: What about anti-spam services? We already take the steps necessary to keep spam off our lists. Whatever filtering you do with your email software and your email service is up to you. That said, we take a dim view of anti-spam services such as Spam Arrest that require the sender of a message to respond to a message from the anti-spam service before allowing the recipient to receive the posting. Such a service inconveniences anyone who posts to the list and is unnecessary. These are all closed lists, so there is no spam. Only those who have requested a subscription and confirmed their subscription are allowed to post. If that is not good enough for you, please don't inconvenience our members by asking them to jump through hoops to keep your mailbox spam free. Any subscriber using this kind of anti-spam service will receive one warning. If the situation is not resolved quickly, the subscriber will be banned. The burden should be on the spammers, not innocent list members. And the following to our netiquette page: Never send test messages to the list. Test when you have something to say to the list by saying it, not by sending a test message. And a reminder: Except for the swap list, all lists are set up so that hitting reply will generate a reply to the list. Because the swap list is not a discussion list, it is set up so that replies go to the original sender, not to the list. (Exception: digest mode.) Hope this helps thing run more smoothly.

New t-shirts and stuff from Low End Mac
I've just spent over 5 hours creating new artwork, a new online store, and a whole bunch of new T-shirts and other items. NEW A whole series of I Switched T-shirts with the phrase Mac User Since 1984 (and every year through 2002) plus the infamous Y2K. Another replaces that with I Don't Do Windows. These T-shirts recognize that most Mac users were switchers at one time. I think my switch officially took place in 1990, maybe 1991 The final shirt in this series says, Switch? I already use a Mac! so even those who never switched can buy a T-shirt. :-) We also have a Switchers for Kids section with Too Young To Switch shirts and bibs and sweatshirts. OLDER We've added a whole bunch of new items (even a license plate holder) with the old I Love My Low End Mac sentiment, and the Because every Mac becomes low end sooner or later products are also available. And we can't forget the It's not obsolete 'til I say it is line. Prices range from reasonable to somewhat steep, quality is reported as excellent by those who have bought through Cafe Press in the past, and about 10% of the sale price comes back to Low End Mac. Pop on over to http://www.cafepress.com/lemstore to see the vast selection of t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, totes, etc. -- Dan Knight, president/\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Cobweb Publishing, Inc. \ / No HTML/RTF in email http://cobwebpublishing.com X No Word docs in email / \ Respect Open Standards! http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/9910/27.deb.shtml -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: New member soon - Need Avice on model/upgrade/to get.
No, but you won't get a Wallstreet with all the upgrades you mentioned for that either. Add another $200 and you can get one for that on ebay if you shop around the auctions, although a nice one will be double your bellow mentioned price.

I think the original poster is still thinking about a Wallstreet, which don't always have a DVD drive. In fact, most of them don't and you can expect around $150-$200 for a DVD drive with the decoding card to play DVDs on those Wallstreet.

Tom A bit off topic but Thats what the told me about my BW my $285 BW/G3-400/dvd-rom 0/0/no video card ( about 8mos ago.) as it sits today: G4/450 CDRW/DVD 1GB ram 60GB HD Mac Radeon DDR PCI usb Floppy ide Zip + bezel Ive got $650 in the above system to date after replacing and selling what was no longer needed. One could do good to get a stock G4 Yikes for $600 + shipping and if/when one did it wouldn't compare in speed or performance. Ya, but your B W is dropping farther and farter down the food chain. I just bought a G4/500 Gigabit ethernet for $600 (40gb/384mb/DVD/56k) to act as a server. It depends on where you look. I could've snagged a second G4/450 for $500, but I didn't have the cash in my hand. The advice to avoid a Wallstreet (and all their problems) is sound. Get a Pismo 400 at the least. And if you don't have the $ then save up until you do. I have a pile of dead Wallstreet units here. Don't go there. -- == Kyle H.
