Re: monitor lcd

2002-03-21 Thread Martin Hill
The iBook with the addition of the Apple AV cable outputs what's on 
the iBook screen as a composite video signal, the same standard that 
the AV plug on your LCD monitor should accept. As such, you 
shouldn't need a box of tricks to hook them together, just the cheap 
connector cable if you don't have one already.


What model iBook do you have?

TFT means Thin Film Transistor, basically meaning it's an active 
matrix LCD screen (much better than passive matrix LCDs).

[4Sale] GeForce2 MX Card and extras

2002-03-21 Thread Daniel

Hi All

I have for sale the following:-

NVidia GeForce 2MX Graphics Card with 32MB Video RAM.

This card connects into the AGP port on any of the "newer" G4 
machines, and runs very well. It certainly beats the ATi Rage Pro 128 
with 16MB VRAM that came with most of these machines.


So if you want to make your graphics and games better this is the way to go

These cards retail for $389.
Sale price $275.

I also have a Rio MP3 Player and Teac USB Floppy Drive that are still 
sealed and floating around. If you are interested in either of these 
items please email me and maybe we can come to a nice figure that 
suits both parties! ;o)


If you are interested please email me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or call me on
0414 795 960.

Thanks!

re 10 gig iPod

2002-03-21 Thread John Currie
G'Day Wamuggers

Check out 


You can enter and edit the data in the Panorama iPod Organizer software
itself or import data from your favorite database or contact manager
software. Information can be organized into as many custom categories as
you like: Contacts, Appointments, Travel, etc. Each category appears as an
entry in the Artists menu on the iPod.
The Panorama iPod Organizer requires no special software on your iPod. To
transfer the data to your iPod the software exports the data as MP3 files
compatible with iTunes. The next time you sync your iPod all of your
contact information will be automatically transferred to the iPod. The
organizer information is extremely compact -- in fact, 1,000 contacts will
use less than 0.1% of the space on your iPod.

Anyone with an iPod can use the
Panorama iPod Organizer. But if you are also a Panorama owner you get an
extra bonus you can convert any Panorama database into a source for iPod
data! The possibilities are endless -- use your iPod to display parts
catalogs, check lists, company directories, production schedules, anything
you can fit on the iPod screen!

The Panorama iPod Organizer is available now
for an introductory price of only $19.95!

Re: Accessing multi-user data files

2002-03-21 Thread Shay Telfer

To explain why I am asking this question: both computers (B1 & B2)
had the Premier program installed on them. B1 had the data file. I
created an alias for the data file on B1 and then copied it to B2's
desktop. When I accessed the data file from B2, via the alias, I was
not sure whether it was using the program installed on B1 or B2, as I
had Premier running on B1 and accessing the data file at the same

time.

B2 was (most likely) using the copy of MYOB installed on it to access 
the data file on B1 via the alias. It's possible B2 decided to load 
the copy of MYOB on B1, and run it but unlikely. The data file is 
shared (and possibly also the application file), but one computer is 
never 'running' the application on the other computer.


I'm assuming MYOB lets you share data between running copies of the 
application in this fashion, otherwise it's a great way to destroy 
your important data :)


Have fun,

Accessing multi-user data files

2002-03-21 Thread Alex Novakovic

Hi Wamugians

I would like to know whether it is possible for two computers to 
access the one program (MYOB Premier in this case) at the same time 
(the data file resides on one of these two computers)?


The program actually is installed on both computers anyway.

To explain why I am asking this question: both computers (B1 & B2) 
had the Premier program installed on them. B1 had the data file. I 
created an alias for the data file on B1 and then copied it to B2's 
desktop. When I accessed the data file from B2, via the alias, I was 
not sure whether it was using the program installed on B1 or B2, as I 
had Premier running on B1 and accessing the data file at the same 
time. (I did need to access the data file manually in the first 
instance from B2 before the alias would work in its own right).


This was a "creative" network set up of Premier, not the recommended 
way, but it seemed to work and I just want to understand the 
mechanics of it all.


Cheers, and thanks in advance

Re: 10GB iPod

Check out http://www.apple.com/ipod/userinterface.html for a demo of 
the interface to access the Contact database on the iPod. It syncs 
with applications like Microsoft Entourage for OS X or OS 9.0, Palm 
Desktop 4.0 and Mac OS X Address Book. But indeed, it is only for 
viewing. To actually add or edit contacts, you'd have to do that 
back on your Mac, then sync the iPod, so it's not fantastically

WAMUG CD Archive Vol 1

2002-03-21 Thread Matthew Healey
Hi Everyone,

Seeing is anything worth downloading on the internet these days is at least
10 megs or over, the Committee has decided to start up the WAMUG CD Archive.

Every month, we will be putting together a CD full of all the latest game
demos, movie trailers, software updates and generally cool stuff. The CD
will be available only at the monthly meetings and will be $5 for financial
members. $10 for everyone else. If you only have a dial up connection to the
net, you will certainly appreciate this CD.

Anything publicly and legally available can be put on the CD.

We are calling all the members on this list to tell us specifically what you
want on the CD.


The CD so far...

Apple
MacOS X 10.1.3 Combo Update ( 30 MB)

Games
Escape Velocity Nova ( 75 MB)
Giants : Citizen Kabuto Single Player Demo (120 MB)

Graphics
Cinema 4D XL 7.3 Demo ( 18 MB)
Maya Learning Edition (150 MB)

Movie Trailers (High Res Versions Only)
High Crimes ( 21 MB)
Men In Black 2 ( 17 MB)



Yes.. All the StarWars trailers will be on there too, I just havn't
downloaded them yet. :P

If you want something on there, let me know what it is, and where I can find
it.

Finally, if you want a copy of this CD, you will need to pre-order. Do not
assume you will be able to pick one up on the night. If you want a copy of
this CD, please let me know. I will post the final file list 3 days prior to
the meeting.

Re: Bluetooth - Airport compatibility

2002-03-21 Thread Shay Telfer

Looks like this could be perfect for a small home wireless network. Anyone
know if it's interoperable with an Airport network? In other words can I run
both in the same house? I'm slowly switching to wireless here at home and
have an iMac that can't do Airport and PowerBook that BlueTooth would be
much cheaper for. The plan would be to run both off my G4 tower and route
the wireless connections from the laptops through it and onto the
firewall/router. I know this'll work with Airport based on some very helpful
answers from Rod (I'll bee needed the screenshots from your setup soon) and
am hoping I can do the same thing with BlueTooth.


BlueTooth is pretty much designed as a low bandwidth replacement for 
cables connecting things like Palms, mobile phones, etc. You probably 
don't want to use it for networking. Not to mention that you'd have 
to have some form of TCP/IP driver for it. Not that someone won't 
write it, but it would probably be considered non-standard. Really, 
you don't want anything non-standard in your networking.

That depends whether you're talking the 802.11a or 802.11g version. 
Both have been approved by the IEEE, both do the higher speeds 
(54Mbps), but the "g" version still works in the 2.4GHz space. The 
"a" version which does sit in the 5 GHz space is unfortunately not 
compatible with the current 802.11b standard which Apple uses for

Actually, the recently released Bluetooth Platform Solution from
Motorola provides v1.1 Bluetooth with certified interoperability and
802.11 (Airport) co-existence functions. As such, it looks like this
is what Apple has been waiting for. Motorola's Bluetooth chip also
only costs US$5.90 in quantities of a million, so it's hit a good
price point as well.
http://wireless.newsfactor.com/perl/story/16859.html


It would be interesting to know what 'co-existence functions' are. It 
sounds like it changes the frequency hopping algorithm in the 
presence of an Airport. Which probably means in certain conditions 
the bandwidth takes some form of performance hit. Not that it 
particularly matters if your Palm syncs with your laptop more slowly. 
And if you're using an Airport you're probably not using BlueTooth to 
network via your mobile at the same time (well, unless you're a 
masochist :)


Time to upgrade my Palm I guess :)

However after installing the ugly latest version of Real Player on a 
peecee it couldn't even open them. I knew something must be wrong.


Something inspired me to open them in GraphicConverter and voila! A 
"Raster Metafile" animation appeared on screen.


This is one reason why filename extensions are a crap idea and should 
have been killed off decades ago.


woz
