Very much so. The basic principle of Quartz Extreme is that the whole screen
is made up of OpenGL objects. All the compositing and rasterizing is done on
the Graphics Cards' GPU, rather than on the CPU. The cool part about this
is... If you want a faster interface, just put in a faster graphics card.

This is why it requires a GeForce 2 MX, Raedon or better.

Everything is an evolution from the previous version. Did you know that when
QuickDraw was first released is was not accelerated by the graphics
hardware. It too almost 5 or 6 years before that happened. Apple has managed
to get it working on Quartz by version 2. That is quite an accomplishment.

You'd be plugging your ADSL modem into the WAN port.

 The Airport network design manual says it should be no problem to move to an
 ADSL set up by connecting the ethernet ADSL modem to the hub as well as the
 Airport to the hub. Iprimus who I currently use won't comment and will only
 provide a direct connection to one machine. Has anyone got any experience of
 what I am trying to do. I don't want to apply for the ADSL connection and
 find I can't use the same network set up to share the connection.

No, you'd be plugging the ADSL modem into the Airport and the Airport
into the hub.

 Assuming it will work should I upgrade to Airport software v2.0? Is there
 any advantage in doing so?

Dunno, RTFM.

 The hub I currently have is a simple Netgear ethernet hub. I've seen that
 there are also ethernet hubs through which you can share an internet
 connection and which provide a firewall. Is this necessary or can I still
 use my existing hub? Is Norton firewall running on the individual Macs
 sufficient protection?

There are solutions that provide ADSL connectivity, firewalling, even
base-station connectivity, but since you're connecting your modem to the
Airport and the Airport to the hub, it's all taken care of.

 Does anyone have any experience of the ADSL service provided by iprimus? Are
 there other ISP's that I should consider?

Dunno about iprimus, if their product is as good as their phone support

There is an import feature (I forget where, but I'm pretty sure Help

I hate to admit this but Outlook Express for The Dark Side has a blocking

Copy the Microsoft data folder to your other machine and import from

the mail that was originally on the machine.

ADSL and it works fine through Airport. I ran a DP800, iMac 400, iMac 400SE,

The ADSL modem plugs into the uplink port on the hub, and the old graphite

So it should work no dramas!

 as much to do with its chip, its driver and its compatibility with
 the type of physical connection to the local telephone exchange, as
 anything else.
 
 Is anyone able to suggest a source of information that would tell me
 which modem/s (brand and technical info) are fully compatible with

 The brand new Swann Smart modem I have at present appears to be a

We have a similar setup to Daniel also using Telstra. We have the

And the advantage of Telstra is that when it doesn't work I can call my 
local Telstra manager 24 hours a day and he actually sends somebody (yes 
a real person) out to check the problem  within the day.


I was recently getting inconsistent speed so they sent a tech out and 
fixed a faulty phone connector - and they never charge for this service.


Of course Andrew is just poking his wry humour!

RE: OSX uninstall query

2002-05-09 Thread Shay Telfer

Andrew,

Based on my own experiences with deleting PreferencePanes in OS X:

Don't know: /library/Receipts/


That should be ok, AFAIK the Receipt is only used by later installers 
that need to know what was installed.


It's usually preferable to use an App's uninstall 
procedure/uninstaller if it offers one though.


Have fun,
Shay

Re: Getting buggy with 10.1.4

 Hi:
 
 Has anyone else out there had some buggy situations since installing 10.1.4?
 
 Some examples on my behalf:
 1. Some installers won't work, when they worked in other versions of 10.1
 (Stuffit for OSX for instance)
 2. Microsoft office won't open at all except for entourage (It gets to a
 point in the opening procedure and just quits--also never happened in
 10.1.anything)
 
 A I imagining things or is this update really not that great? I can't chalk
 it up to anything else as my system is the same otherwise.

Hi Nathalie,

I have installed Stuffit Deluxe for OsX since updating to 10.1.4 with no
problems, I have also not had any problems running program form Office 2001.

Of course, and you should be used to that by now. Whatever you do 
then, don't talk about the 3 hour national outage of ADSL last Friday 
during which time people clocked up record times on hold with 
Telstra's phone support, and don't look too closely for mentions of 
Telstra in any of the following URLs. All I am suggesting is, it's 
not perfect. And far from it sometimes.

Re: Blocking email in Outlook Express

2002-05-09 Thread Steve Woods

I hate to admit this but Outlook Express for The Dark Side has a 
blocking
facility which just does not allow email from specified senders into 
your
'puter. I 'm not sure if it also results in a Can't be delivered 
message

being sent to the original sender.
I wish OE for the Mac has this facility without setting up a rule to
automatically delete mail. The spam content seems to be increasing a lot
lately.


As Onno mentioned earlier - you can only block messages entirely by 
stopping

them at your mail server.

Actually, the blocked senders list in the win version of OE is just a 
ruleset.
It doesn't stop anything, just quietly moves mail from the specified 
addresses

to the Deleted Items folder.

The same effect can be achieved on the Mac version by setting up a group
with the spammers email addresses, and setting one rule to move 
everything
from that group into Deleted Items. You could create a script to 
automate

adding addresses to the group from highlighted message(s).

Alternatively, I've found the built-in Junk Mail filter to work 
reasonably well after

a little training.

YMMV

Possibly you are sending an attachment  exceeding the mailbox size

Have you got OE set to actually download the mail onto your machine, 
or do you have a huge mailbox sitting on the server? That would 
prevent the account receiving new mail and possibly sending old mail.


If this is the case then when you turn this option on you may have to 
wait a while for all the mail backlog to download :)


Thanks,
