Re: Apple Mail
Your also telling 100 plus workers using Macs, Apple Mail is a failure. What does that say to your Mac users when it comes time to buy a computer and most people use them off work for, emailing and surfing. Well the tech guy at our company does not like Apple Mail says it does not do things right, Internet Explorer is not being updated, so guess we better get a Wintel. Well if you want integrated email, calendaring, to do lists, etc all in one application, then yes, Apple Mail is a failure, and Entourage is the choice to make. This is what a lot of BUSINESSES want or demand from their email product. I'm one of the tech guys at my company, and I'm also the one primarily responsible for email. Our messaging infrastructure is based on Exchange, and Apple's mail is not the client for me to use in that environment. OTOH, for my personal email at home, I use Apple Mail, even though I have Entourage installed on my PowerBook. I love Apple and their products, but in the business world it's the best tool for the best job. Apple Mail is a great basic email program, and personally I'd like it to continue to focus on that market rather than try and become an Entourage killer. If your tech guy is basing his techology platform decisions solely off of the fact that he does not like Apple Mail, and that IE isn't being updated, then he should be fired, and you should find a competent replacement.

I have no problems anywhere else, even at my brother's in the same town, dialling into the same access numbers. Is there a known problem with the Wall Street modems? I did the firmware upgrade that became available in late 1998. I've tried other modem scripts but since I have no connection problems elsewhere, I figure it's either the modem or the large number of phones at Mom's (I've unplugged several of them, but that doesn't help and, anyway, why doesn't SHE have problems with her older laptop?) Might be something simple like a noisy line? Maybe the modems that AOL uses in their local exchange there are a brand that's a little more tolerant of noisy lines? Where her ISP is probably using older modems, like the kind when 56k first came out, they were very picky with this. It's a cheap thing to try at least. Go to Radio Shack and get an 'in-line filter choke' (I'm assuming they still have them). You will wrap your phone line around these u-shaped (together they make a circle), magnet-looking things, several times. It will improve the speed by cutting down on noise at the very least, but might also solve your problem. Some phone line noise can't be heard by us, but can be heard by the modem. I've seen these things work personally. When i used to use dial-up (used to own an ISP 10 years ago), I'd never use a modem without one. Install it on the end of your phone line where it plugs into the modem, as close as possible to that port. Back then, those were my only choice, but I just googled and this looks like the thing to get: http://www.ky-filters.com/filters.htm Not to expensive to try, it definitely won't HURT anything, can only make it better. I'd get two, one for home, one to travel with. I didn't look for any others that might be cheaper, just wanted to give you a place to look in the right direction. HTH. Rad... Well, it's hard to believe that the line is noisy every time I've visited for the last 6 years and it's not really worth buying something for once or twice a year visits.

Re: Apple Mail
Dude, Take a chill pill. I'm the biggest Mac fan on the planet. I even have my own website dedicated to my platform of choice. I have a G5 at home, that is completely Microsoft free. I keep all my Microsoft Applications on my G4 PowerBook, which I use to access the office when I'm offsite. Second, I don't use Exchange at the office. I set up an Email Server using Communigate Pro. It works like a champ. The reason why I think Microsoft Office 2004 kicks Ass, is that everyone at the Office loves it. When they found out they could set up a shared calendar in the Project Center, you don't know how happy that made them. It's my job to keep things running smoothly. If everyone at the office was using a different email client that wouldn't happen. How many offices do you know that are 95% Mac based. I don't know of many. Only our Finance department has PC's, plus a few stragglers. I'll leave it at that. Happy Holidays. Take Care. Aaron Willems http://www.macmanifest.com So if you are in a position of controlling over a 100 Macs, which I honestly respect, get Apple on the phone, tell them the problems, maybe they have a solution you have not thought of. Your a player, they are at least going to listen or read your typed mail asking for an answer, probably even better approach. As long as there are Tech people like you, who will not take Apple to the mat and demand the functionality you need to work in this, *Windows World* and just push aside Apple Mail or other Apple products, what are you doing ? Your just helping to cut the product share even more, when you have not even asked Apple about your problems. There might be solutions to what you need. Your also telling 100 plus workers using Macs, Apple Mail is a failure. What does that say to your Mac users when it comes time to buy a computer and most people use them off work for, emailing and surfing. Well the tech guy at our company does not like Apple Mail says it does not do things right, Internet Explorer is not being updated, so guess we better get a Wintel. When these 100 workers are asked by their friends, what computer they should buy, the workers are now the computer experts, their now the Tech guy, so from your influence against Mail it just blasts loud and clear Apple Mail is inferior, buy Wintel and it grows like a virus. You have some juice use it. 100 computers will not get you a free ride on Steves Gulfstream, but they will listen. That's the beauty of the Mac the software meshes with the hardware and no matter if there big or small. You plop a wad of M$$ and it just puts FOD in your engine.

Re: Apple Mail
On Dec 24, 2004, at 4:25 AM, Tim Collier Usually the people who start bashing a high end app suite are the ones who don't have the $$$ to buy itor can't steal it! Are we going to start bashing Photoshop next? So what do you want to do, compare portfolios, usually people who steal the high end Apps are the ones saying Not Me While we are at it Adobe Acrobat 7 does leave features off the windoz version and screw them I will stay at 6. Addressing the issue of MS no longer supporting Internet Explorerso what! Safari rocks! MS knows that and methinks it's the reason that they aren't moving on with IE. Really wow did not know that one thanks So what does methinks do when Microsoft says Apple is improving Appleworks and it Rocks, so M$$ is not going to upgrade or build any Office products or scale it back for the Mac, not enough sales. I have read where the Apple Group is now not exactly the top spot at Gates University and getting the requirements needed for development, their not at the head of the class so to speak. I will bet you have seen you last full release of Office for the Mac But no worries M$$ now owns VPC and that runs great, so if you get VPC you can run straight windoz office That M$$ always thinking ahead for better products for the Mac M$$ beats the lawsuits with a little window dressing, rubbing up to Apple, working very hard to build a version of Office for Mac X. After all Bill did say MS is a good company and competition is good for us, keeps us on the cutting edge.chuckles. So now all M$$ problems have vanished. They heavily gave to the incumbent chair warmer, so what's the advantage to Bill to keep putting out good Apple products, more money, fear of loss of integrity by the biggest killer of technology in the world. Keep playing Siegfried and Roy and you just might be reading up on Windows more then you want I did not say Office Sucks. I have to keep one scummy machine with it. I said, hold Apple to the fire for better software, that you IT guys, who I respected, have the power to say hey do it this way and it will work better and maybe it will bring some change. But it is very interesting to hear the input from you IT guys. I always wondered how this list of phrases got started, the biggest road blocks I have heard to be associated with getting people to switch to Apple or getting their first computer and have it be an Apple. This is branded in there heads. Microsoft is for serious business work- I need to look professional, Macs are for artists to play on, Macs are not serious business computers, can't e-mail to Microsoft and everybody in business uses Microsoft, the different computers will not work together, everybody knows their is no software for the Mac. It's all bunk, but dragged in like the dirty coal on the miners clothes and just as deadly to have a reliance on one operating system as to breath the dust, it also seems that a few folks do not like M$$. So the individuals buy windoz, unless you can unwrap what has been wrapped so very tightly by a sources that for the majority are probably working with what the Tech guy wants. He is the guru, so it slides downhill. The very people who could be helping shape the future of the Mac, at one of the best times I have seen Apple in the spotlight and be accepted as a real computer. Sit back and say this is the way it is, this is the way it stays, why change. So your influence of programs extends to your company computers and the people who use them. Yet post to Mac sites without a utterance of I called Apple and said or I wrote Apple and suggested a change. Just a lot of yelling and believing the benevolent Bill will come through with Office 07 I think part of the problem is Microsoft = Job Security for tech. I am to tired to hope every body who knows Bill gets a free copy of the new Office. Just don't whine when it's gone and there is no replacement.

I've always used the mail application that comes with netscape for my isp mail. What am I missing? TIA. Pete. Outlook Express implements the POP3 protocol only, as far as mail is concerned - it also implements the NNTP protocol for News. Thus an Outlook Express client can be used with an Exchange server, assuming the Exchange system has got its POP3 service turned on. They generally have, but not necessarily so. Outlook (the full Outlook client on Windows boxes) is an implementation of the client end of Microsoft's MAPI protocol. Exchange server also uses this protocol (it's an application-level protocol, not a network-level protocol) so an Exchange server and an Outlook client talk MAPI to each other. This is a more feature-rich protocol than either POP3 or IMAP4. Thus when used with an Exchange server it is 'better', ie more feature-rich. It also includes POP3 functionality, and if used with just a standard mail server (eg an ISP's mail server) probably uses just that, in which case it's not really any better than any other POP3 client. Entourage can be regarded as an implementation of Outlook (not Outlook Express) on OS X. Tom Burke -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet
Ben Dyer said: This is a known issue with the Wallstreet under Jaguar. To fix this problem: * Restart into MacOS 9 * Put the Wallstreet to sleep * Wake it up again * Restart into Jaguar As I have stated earlier on-list, I have a differing experience in that step 2 and 3 above was unnecessary. However, to be able to boot into OS X, when in OS 9, you have to choose OS X as the startup disk with the associated control panel. During the first boot, when you do this, the machine may (or may not) freeze. On the second boot, this will not happen. Something to do with garbled NVRAM or PRAM Settings I have speculated. I never investigated, but if anyone want to check this, they could run the command: sudo nvram -p password in the terminal and compare the individual settings when the machine doesn't have this display problem, with when the machine do have the problem. In order to do the latter one could direct a strong light source to the display in order to see. This worked for me., for doing restarts into OS 9. I do think if possible it's ok to press the backlight buttons a few times to kick in the backlights if this is possible, as, for me at least, the problem came back at next restart, indicating the settings were the same even if you pressed those buttons. Most often for me, I couldn't get back the backlight, if I didn't press those buttons somewhere around midway thru the boot process, before Aqua. After that did not work. There may be other variations of course. Every time the power is interrupted (i.e. you take the power cord out, while no working battery is present), you will have to repeat the procedure--even if the Wallstreet was turned off at the time you removed the power cord. For me this problem *only* appeared if the wallstreet was in sleep or running when the power was cutoff. It's possible the difference is because my backup battery had a small load and yours didn't have one at all, but I'm not sure. My experience is somewhat different, however, and I thought it worth mentioning. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
