Re: Website compatibility
I find that with USBank, even when I log off properly in Safari (even the latest one), I often get stuck in a loop where I just get the your session has timed out screen unless I manually search for and delete all USBank cookies. (It sure would be nice to have a search feature within the cookies list!). Some other banks or credit card sites give me a window telling me my browser is not compatible, but if I click Continue it works just fine. Regards, Harry Corsover Follow up on that: AmEx's site works fine with Safari and so does Bank of America. For that matter the state of Florida's website works fine too. We have a thing called SunPass that allows you to pass through toll plazas without having to stop and it debits via a little box. Go to the website to put more money on it and I usually use Safarinot one problem. As a matter of fact I do EVERY form of financial transaction exclusively using the web.

Re: Website Compatibility (Stonyfield)
If you can enable the debug option in Safari, you could select the Windows Microsoft Explorer user agent, which basically tells the website which browser you use. I just tried it and had no problem getting in. Initially, before I changed the user agent, I got the same message but now it appears to be fine. It's really a pity that developers are so lazy that they code for only a specific platform. The Internet was supposed to be platform and OS agnostic but the dominance of Windows and the constant push from Microsoft with their specific extensions to the HTML language has skewed the direction of the Internet and many websites only assume that you're running Windows and using Internet Exploiter... You could email or contact them to let them know Well put, but somehow, I don't think it's going to happen. Exterminate all rational thought. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Remember, iTunes requires the QT libraries for playback and Apple's AAC codec is based on MPEG-4.

Re: open source software and Macs
Especially when you consider that Office by Microsoft was out for the Mac before it was available for the PC. Microsoft has done some great stuff in putting together the Mac version. I saw a site promoting the new version that's coming out for Windows. Strangely enough it has a lot of the features that the Mac version has had for years. You know how when you open Word, you get that little Window over on the right for formatting? Windows version never had that, you always had to search and eventually find the formatting that you wanted. With the Mac versionit's always been all right there in the formatting window. Now, as I said, the next version for the PC is coming out with something like the Mac version has had since OS 9. Office on the Mac is WAY better than Office on a PC. I've used both. I'll take the mac version any day. Tim On Feb 2, 2006, at 11:38 AM, MorningAJ wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Think we could drop Microsoft Office on those G3s? Nah.

Re: open source software and Macs--Mac Word Processors
Stupid question here: What would make you want to 'gift' a 1000 G3's with Office? Gift them without and let the user decide what he wants to use. And then there's always Appleworks. I've used it and like it except there are some parts of it that I don't care for--like the 'database'. Also the word processor is strange looking (guess from all my years of using Office), but it'll do the job quite nicely. Also don't discount iWork 06. I purchased it and it's quite impressive. They added a lot of features that should have been in the original and the Templates are WONDERFUL! Another Word Processor that I use a lot is Mellel...it doesn't get a lot of praisebut it's the only Word Processor that I've come across that can write Hebrew AND put in the vowels. It has the ability to switch from writing from left to right to right to left (essential for writing Hebrew). Mellel also has it's PC version by the same company called Davka Writer. Whatever happened to WordPerfect? I don't see much about that anymore. Mind you, I only use OS X appsso, if there's an OS 9 version out there, I'm not aware of it. Keep in mind that if you're just looking for a Word Processor and don't need Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage (I don't use it--prefer Apple Mail app, iCal and Address Book--as they all work together better than Entourage does (my opinion))don't discount iWork.

Re: open source software site
I just posted a long response regarding Word Processors. But, as soon as iWork 06 came out, I bought it. Pages is dramatically improved over the 05 version. It definitely gets my vote as #2. And, I do use it. If you're going to do an article with pictures, etc, it's a LOT easier to use than Word. Apple did a really great job and adding the little Excel-like additions was quite nice. Keynote gets my vote over PowerPoint any day--I think it's wonderful. Tim On Feb 2, 2006, at 11:54 AM, Michel Treisman wrote: I'm writing a book on Abiword. I think that's pretty serious work. That's a very good example. I hope there aren't too many people pressed over the tangential direction of this thread, but it seems worthwhile. Comparing MS Word to AbiWord is like comparing a BMW 750i to a Toyota Corolla -- both will accomplish the same function (get you there), but one is loaded down with several hundred features you will probably never use, while the other is much more straight-forward in its approach. Everyone compares open source word processors with Microsloth Word. But there are cheaper alternatives too. I have glanced at Pages, and it doesn't look too bad. What do folks think about Pages? Does it have any serious gaps, compared to Word? One thing I don't think it has are macros but perhaps i could live without them.

Re: open source software site
Clarification here: you really replaced a program suite that you paid $400 for with open source NeoOffice? Pardon my doubt here, but Microsoft Office is the 'gold standard'. I can't imagine that any open source would run as fast or offer as many features. Now I do have to qualify this statement (critique) by saying that I've never tried any of the open source software available and I would need some pretty convincing evidence to get me to chuck out Office 2004 in favor of something written in java and needing to have X11 added to my computer. How about some real world examples. When I click on Word, it opens in seconds.maybe 1 second (I just tried it)...does the open source version do that?

Re: security re: file sharing/networks
I totally agree on this one. I don't think the laws have caught up with the technology yet. It's a matter of the (restating the obvious) the technology having advanced so fast that legislation has not been able to act on the legality of intrusion into somebody else's home network. Yes, a lot of people have no clue about how to secure their networks. Right now, as I sit here typing this, if I click on the Airport icon, I can see 3 other networks in my area. 2 are secured as is mine. The other, it just calls itself 'linksys' is totally open. I have been able to connect to the net with it and get my mail. I wish I knew who this network belonged to, I'd certainly offer to help him/her secure it.

Re: Airport Question
The truly amazing thing is the actual stupidity you come across in this PC dominated world when it comes to Mac Networking. Back when I used PC's I used a wired network and I was really new to networking back then. I even took a course on it at a local community college. With that under my belt and a couple of texts to refer to, I went at it. I bought my routers and all of my cat 5 cables and then the PC's still wouldn't cooperate. One would see some but others wouldn't see others. It took me weeks to finally get it to where I finally have everybody able to share files and printers. When I was able to afford a Windows NT server, that helped quite a bit. Then I made the switch in 2001 and started going over to wireless, obvious choice was wireless and networking has never been so easy. Using only Apple hardware probably has made it a lot easier on me than using 2nd and 3rd party equipment. Everything works right out of the box and works with little to no configuration. As far as wireless networking, Apple the top of the line. I would not consider using anything else.

Re: Airport Question
Plain simple truth of the matter is that Apple designed their Airport base stations and the Airport Express to work with your Mac. The Airport Setup software is designed to set it up in just a few simple steps that rarely even require referring to the enclosed documentation. Whether you use an original Airport Card or an Airport Extreme or for that matter a third party card, setup is a truly simple thing to do. I do not have any experience with Linksys or D-Link but I did make the mistake of buying a Netgear as my first attempt at wireless networking. I had all of my Macs equipped with Airport Extreme cards and one with an original card. I took the Netgear wireless router out of the box and read through the manual and everything seemed straight forward. I got the first Mac connected but that's as far as I got. None of the others would connect. Of course the Netgear instructions assumed that I had PC's but it should still work the same as for the first Macbut no. I called customer support and got a very unhelpful person at the other end who told me that you shouldn't be using this with a Mac in the first place. After several attempts and failures, I said thank you and hung up. I packed everything up and returned the router to CompUSA where I bought it. I went over and got the Airport base station that I should have gotten, brought it home and set it up myself. All done in about 15 minutes without having to call anybody. I've extended the reach of my signal (didn't really have to, but it made me feel better) by buying 2 Airport Express and distributing them around the other end of the house. Adding them to the network was also simple and I didn't need to call any tech support line. And, my network isn't a straight-forward Mac setup either, I'll describe below (sorry for the length of this post, but I want to make my point): Cable modem to Airport Basestation Konica-Minolta Laser Network Printer connected to base station Mac #1 G5 Dual 2 gig with Airport Extreme Card--Location Office with the basestation Mac #2 G4 Dual 1 gig with Sonnet Aria Extreme PCI card (shows up as an Airport card)--Location Office with the basestation Mac #3 G3 Blue White 450 mhz with Sonnet Aria Extreme PCI card-- Location Office with the basestation Mac #4 G3 Blue White 400 mhz connected to Airport Express via ethernet--Location Kitchen, Airport Express also shares printer and set of speakers Mac #5 G4 iBook 1.3 gig 14 inch mostly used in Family room served by another Airport Express which shares a printer and speakers--it can roam anywhere in the house without losing it's connection Computer # 6 Dell Insiron 9300 17 inch with Centrino processor mostly used in Family room but can also roam anywhere in the house without losing a connection So, on my simple Wireless network, I have access to 1 laser printer and 2 inkjet printers and 2 sets of speakers (1 is my home stereo system, the other just a simple setup with a sub-woofer). All of the Macs can share files, nobody ever drops off, unless they're asleep. The PC plays nicely although we had to play around and tweak Norton a bit. Plus the whole network is protected with WEP 128 encryption. Tim On Dec 23, 2005, at 1:40 AM, Caleb Cupples wrote: That's what I was getting at.

Re: Airport Question
Oh, I've been told that before. Like with BellSouth DSL, after one of their outages and my modem appeared fully connected yet wouldn't allow mail or safari to connect, they blamed the Mac and said it wasn't compatible with their system and it was my fault. If I would only use Internet Explorer I'd have no problems. Of course a few short hours later, all was working fineseems like one of their servers got ALL of it's services up and functioning or something like that, at least that was their explanation for the problem. After that, I cancelled service with them and started using my cable company. What a difference! And there have been similar incidents. Tim On Dec 23, 2005, at 9:37 AM, Caleb Cupples wrote: Ouch.

Living with Nature (was Reminder about Static Electricity)
Ah, but there's no place like home. What did she do, leave it outside? Or live in a house without AC? I can see that happening in a case like that. Mold is a MAJOR problem down here. It does seem to love to live inside electronics that 'live' outside. I saw a TV that a neighbor 'used' to use out on her patio die after about a year. We opened it up and it was full of all these pretty colors of mold. Sort of changed her mind about bringing it back for warrantee coverage. But most electronics down here, if kept in an air conditioned house (AC also de-humidifies) can live long happy lives. I keep my house at about 74 degrees. Now lightening: yes, we are known as the lightening capital of the US. A wise user NEVER plugs anthing! directly into the wall.well nothing sensitive. TV's, sound equipment, computers, monitors, routers, printers etc are all on back- up power supplies or at a minimum a power strip with a surge protector. Even still, a lightening storm fried 2 dsl modems within a span of 6 months. Anyway, hopefully all of this goes to illustrate to some new user on the list that you have to take care no matter where you live. Weather conditions can render your precious, expensive electronic toys useless. Take all precautions when it comes to protecting them. Find out what others in your area do to extend the life of their computers. Most of all, live defensively.

You'd have a lot better luck if you installed the CUPS printing system, lots of drivers available. And if it's not there, you can get it from one of the linux sites.

Re: real estate situation
Here's my 2 cents. Virtual PC runs very well but slowly on every Mac I've ever put it on including my G5 iMac. At least on the G5, it runs half way fast but on this 1.2 gig iBook, it's tedious at best. When VPC (I have the latest version--7) is running, for all intents and purposes you are using a PCbut I really think that you're going to be sort of crippled trying to use it. As much as I am a total MacAddict and even hate to say the following, I think it must be said for you to be competitive. Get a cheap PC laptop for use at work (there, I typed it and didn't explode). You can still exchange information with it and your Mac. Good Luck in your new career.

He says that if he has to support my computer to keep it current and to keep it virus-free, I will have to pay additionally for his tech support. I told him that I've never in 13 years ever paid for technical support. The last time I bought antivirus software was for my 1993 Centris (no, that is not a car).

He did tell me that the whole office runs on a server. The word server is not exactly good news. I think that the office has a staff person that installs everyone's software for them. After that phone call, I figured that the only thing I have to lose is the price of Virtual PC. If it doesn't work, I'll have to go buy a PC laptop. Either way, I'll be loading the same software onto either my PowerBook with Virtual PC, or onto a PC laptop. So, here is my request one more time: Is anyone out there selling real estate, using current software that is written for real estate agents, and accomplishing it with a Mac? Or do you know of someone who is? Please, please, please respond if it is working for you. Desperately, Claire -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Tiger without Appletalk issues
I have an option to turn on Appletalk and I'm using 10.4. What are you talking about? In system preferences click on network and then on the adapter and you'll see an Appletalk tab. Tim On Friday, June 17, 2005, at 05:46PM, pegleg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am sending this out to several lists because it is an issue that effects many Mac users and business owners when they upgrade to Tiger. Now that Appletalk has been removed from OSX Tiger, I am looking for solutions for my older equipment. I would love to here any and all suggestions. I imagine many others will be facing this problem as well when they upgrade to Tiger. First are my printers. Both are Apple printers: LaserWriter 16/600 PS and Color StyleWriter 1500. The StyleWriter was never supported by OSX even though I have it hooked to my ethernet network with another Apple product (Apple StyleWriter Ethernet Adapter) which works great in OS9.x and earlier. Is there any way to keep this as a viable printer on my network? The LaserWriter has just recently become a problem and only because Tiger dose not support AppleTalk. Dose anyone make third party software to support this printer over an ethernet network? Or can I hook this computer into a print server and go around the Appletalk issue? Lastly I have several Macs that do not support Appletalk IP. One the Quadra 630(ATA), I have been using as a file server (small Mac that uses little power when left on 24/7.) I would really like to see these in Tiger. Is there software that will help: Timbuktu, VNC or another that will allow me to see the hard drive and transfer files? Any suggestions may be helpful? Opinion and gripe coming. Ok, why did Apple decide to leave AppleTalk out of Tiger? I know it is an old and wordy protocol but it has been the networking standard on Macs for 20 years. This legacy solves many a problem for small business and home owners. I can understand that Apple wouldn't want to support third party legacy products but these are all Apple brand and Apple created equipment and protocols. Leaving Appletalk out is a slap in the face to long time Apple users who have supported them with purchases over the years. Personally, I think Apple should keep straight AppleTalk as an option as a show of support for their long time supporters and businesses. At the very least Apple should release Appletalk into the public domain so someone can write an open source implementation for those who need it.

Re: Is Apple really moving to x86 architechture?!
I've wondered if any of the people who are chiming on on this topic watched the keynote address? Though Apple is switching to Intel, is it going to be the 586 or Pentium family of processors? Steve Jobs never said anything about that.for all we know it could be a whole different processor. These new Intel based Macs are still going to be running OS X. Do you think Apple would use Windows? To my experience, Apple products have always been TOP QUALITY. I doubt that anything with their brand name on it will be anything less that what they previously made. Being an eternal optimist, I'm certain Apple will continue to make quality computers that 'just work' as they always have. I will continue to be an Apple customer for ALL of my future computer needs. I do not see that changing.

Re: Heat issue/Apple
My wife and I each have an iBook, both purchased last November and now both running 10.4.1. We have no issues with heat. Do you hold the computer on your lap or on an unventilated surface? In the past, when I first got this iBook, I used to hold it on a pillow on my lap and yes, it got HOT. I looked into this and saw an article about how most laptop computers need to be on a firm (so air can circulate around it) surface. I bought a little tray at CompUSA. Now, I use it on the pillow on my lap and the iBook stays cool. My wife has no issues with heat either, of course she leaves hers sitting on a table and hunches over it (how she does it is beyond me (looks really uncomfortable--but that's what she's always done)).

I would most likely not have known about it, had it not been for this list. Finally got my iBook back today, after being without it for 2 months! I asked the shop if they could replace the battery while they had it, but they said I had to use the website. I thought I might as well get it ordered, so it would be here when I got the computer back, but since I needed the battery serial number, I couldn't do it. I wasn't very surprised when I saw that my battery was indeed one of the affected ones. I have reacted to how hot it becomes since I got the computer. It has become so hot, I could barely touch it. So I often used it on the armrest of the chair instead of on my lap, so it wouldn't overheat that way. So it will be real nice getting that problem solved. I will probably have a new one within a week or so... :) They ended out doing a lot with my iBook; The repair report says: Changed Logic Board, LCD, Inverter and LCD Cable. Tested 1 day, OK I really hope they got it right now. While on the phone with them earlier this week, I got the impression that they finally had got the idea that the cable was a problem. I can't believe they didn't get it earlier. I told them this 2 months ago, that I had a feeling that the cable could be involved, because of me straightening the screen when it went black. Then I told them this over the phone plus by e-mail 4 weeks ago, when they got it back for a re-call after they sent it back to me with the same problem still there. This time they at least tested it one day, had it on and moving the screen multiple times to be sure that there weren't any connection problem anymore. He said though, that there is a possibility that there could be a problem where it connects to the motherboard. I really hope that is not the case... Now I can't wait to finally start fiddling with all the pics I downloaded the day the screen went black! I only got to doing a bit with one, and entered it into a contest that afternoon, figured it was worth a try, even if it could be worked on more. Got a letter the other day that the pic is in the semi-finals... The iBook seems really great, much better for playing with photos than the old Pismo.

Re: After Tiger... Firefox is slower
But Safari is great! Even better under 10.4. It's really nice to use whatever browser you wantI've tried a few since switching back in 2001 *from* the PC. First thing I did was trash Internet Explorer. Tried Netscape.slow and just too much there: mail and composer and the kitchen sink.no thanks. I even tried Firefoxit didn't give me the ease of use of Safari. So, it boils down to thisuse whatever browser 'flips your skirt' but MY preference is Safari. I also use Apple's mail app (also better in 10.4), I suppose you recommend Eudora or some such? So, calm down and find out what's making your beloved Firefox slow.

blue pismo screen
Hi all, My pismo has lately developed a worrying habit of waking up with a blueish tinted screen. It's not an all-over cast, it's more that it seems to be picking up the subtle horizontal grey stripes in the menu bar and title bars, and colouring them blue, in a streaky kind of way! (I would post a screengrab, but of course the effect isn't actually preserved in a grab.) After a few minutes the cast disappears quite suddenly. Is this screen on the way out?

Re: sync
I use sort of a round-about way of doing this.and all it syncs is Entourage calendars and contacts as well as various documents, but Missing Sync (www.markspace.com) works really well with most PDA's. Sync to the PDA from the laptop then sync it with the G5 iMac and everything is the same on both. Also using iSync with a .Mac account will 'sort of' do the same.

Re: connecting computers in a network
Is this DSL modem wireless? Since you said that you have your iBook connected wirelessly, I'd assume so.

Re: New laptop possibility
I've never really used OS 9 since I switched in 2001 back when 10.1 was just released. My first Mac was a G4 867 tower and it booted into OS 9 but I wanted to see what OS X was all about to I restarted it and never went back. All of the software that I've purchased has been for OS X. My desktop is a 20 inch G5 iMacI think I told you and I only use OS X on itnever run classic and don't have classic installed on either. When I bought the iBook, I knew that 256 wasn't enough, so I bought an additional 512it was a bit of a challenge installing it as you need a 'tiny' screwdriver to do ithad to go out and buy one. But once I got it, it was easy. Yes, I knew that there was an OS 9 (classic) install on the other disk. My other OS 9 installation disks are for G4's and say so on the disk. So, I don't think you could use them to install on anything else. Since switching from PC, I have become a true Mac Addict! Take care, Tim On 3/13/05 7:22 PM, diane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tim!

Worst case I keep the 6500 which isn't worth much on the open market anyway! Right now the book is a bit slower at only 256mb.

Anyway, I do take them out blading, biking, running etc and even in the car, depending on where I go, I'm a nervous wreck with them. I think the Shuffle will put my mind at ease some. If he had bought it for me without the 'book, I know I'd have the bigger one but honestly neither of us will use it for more than 8 hours at a stretch! I did find the 9.2 install on the cd's with the iBook. It's on the repair cd, under install additional software. How odd is that, you'd never find it unless you looked. Are your cd's like that or are they complete 9.2 cd's? You may be able to twist my arm if that's the case, esp if I need to keep the 6500.

That way I know I'm getting quality RAM that WILL work in my Mac. I've never regretted it. Might pay a bit more, but at least you know what you're getting. Looking at prices for a 512MB SODIMM, I'd call $150 (Apple) versus $76 (OWC) more than a bit ;-) TimH -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Only 256 Meg of 512 Meg RAM is recognized
Yes, I know you can get RAM for much less and in the past, I have purchased it from other sources but rarely had a good experience. I can afford it.so I buy it. Fact of life. Tim Upon reveiwing my email at 3/14/05 11:19 AM, I found the following message from Jan Musil, whose email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tim, do you realize how much is a bit more? Apple is known for overcharging customers for memory. You can get the same memory from other dealers for 2/3 to 1/2 of the price Apple charges you. And they are as quick to replace bad chip as Apple is. Well, what do I care it is your money... Jan -- Exterminate all rational thought. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: New laptop possibility
Hi Diane: I have the same iBook as you. I find that I use it more than my main desktop.G5 iMac 1.8 gig.reason is it's so comfortable to use (reclining on the sofa with the news playing on the TV right now). I also treated myself to the $99 Shuffle and I LOVE it! So easy to use and a joy to listen to.Apple is the 'bomb'! Anyway, the reason for my response, I have a few OS 9 install CD's sitting around from old G4 purchases, if you need one, I'd be more than willing to send one to you. Let me know...no cost involved!

I do have an ATT wireless card already, I guess I'll wing it when I get there~ Won't work. iBooks don't have pc card slots. Airport Extreme is the only choice, beyond the generally dodgy USB adapters. (and if that moves you towards a Powerbook, the 12 Powerbooks don't have 'em either) Thanks, I hadn't realized that! I ended up with the $999 iBook. I had called them earlier in the day and Dave said there were a fair number of $799 1ghz machines in the stock room. When we got there however, Dave was busy (the place was packed). I got the absolutely worst person I had ever seen at that store - ever! He looked twice (15 mins each time) and swore that there was only 1 refurbed powerbook back there. All I can say is that it's a good thing I know and love the product, else I would have walked out, that's how bad he was. I just decided it wasn't worth it and went with the new one. So new iBook, Airport Express and a 512 Shuffle for the house. Hubby said I would have gotten the Shuffle for my bday but now that I have the 'book, we share the Shuffle LOL. I am loving the 'book!
