Lock doors
I have lived in rural Maine for almost 40 years and never locked my house or car until this past January. Doors smashed, things taken worth a lot. Prep took my insurance bought me new iPod touch and I find I at least 3 neighbors that were log on to my wifi. Have since used highest security and password to shut them out. Wish I could say the same for the dirtbag who robbed me.

customize email pgm
There it was again, that ... so eloquently wrote in Tina's posts. I'm always wondering how you got that in, so finally I'm going to ask: Which email pgm is allowing such customization, and how to go about it? Other ideas welcome, too! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

For this, my mailing lists account, I use Thunderbird and/or Eudora OSE. You can configure the reply text at Preferences - Advanced - General - Config Editor... mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote. In this setting, % inserts the author's name so you probably don't want to delete it. I've done the same thing for my personal account in Mail.app: /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Resources/English.lproj/Delayed.strings Put whatever you want between %3$@ and \n\n These instructions are for Mail.app v4 a la 10.6 Snow Leopard. The file may be in a different location in previous versions. I believe that GyazMail will let you do the same thing somewhere in it's Preferences settings. I suggest you back up the files that you will be changing first in case something goes kerflooey. :-) Tina -- iMac 20 USB 2 1.25GHz G4 2GB RAM GeForceFX5200 Ultra 64MB VRAM 10.4.11 PB G4 15 HR-DLSD 1.67GHz G4 2GB RAM Radeon 9700 128MB VRAM 10.4.11 Mac Pro Mid-2010 2.8 GHz QC 6 GB RAM Radeon HD 5770 1GB VRAM 10.6.7 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The only place I use a ridiculously long, sorta random password is my router Wi-Fi. Mostly because I'm never ever going to enter it again after I set things up. :-) But to each their own.

G4 Movie picture clip
PM G4 933 OS X 10.4.11 I have a canon digital camera that shoots half way decent video. I download my pictures to iPhoto but save my movies separately. I took a video of me and my daughter learning how to square dance and line dance (it was really fun), but would like some photo's. How do I get a still shots from the movies with out spending a lot of money on special software? Will iMovie do it? Doing it with a screen shot while the movie is on pause seems a little cheesy and likely would have crappy resolution. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Don't like what you see? Jog through frame by frame and pick a frame you like. The limitation of some digital camera movies is that the frame rate is slow ( under 30 frames a second) and so shutter lag and other limits of the system can cause artifacting of pixels. Just keep looking for the frames you like. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com/in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
