Outlook to Entourage
Howdy, I've been trying to import some messages from my old Outlook 5.02 account into my new Entourage account (which I've been using for the last 6 months or so). I've had a look through the archives to no avail, same with the Entourage online help. I understand it's possible to do when starting up entourage for the first time / when you initially make the move, but what I'm after is the ability to import these old Outlook messages into a pre-existing Entourage account (with 1-2,000 messages stored away). My concern is that if I try to Import into Entourage at this stage, the current messages will be replaced. Just hoping someone might be able to offer some advice. Cheers! Callum

There is the historical proof the myth could not invent the cross. If by the heathen the cross roused a social horror, by the jews aroused a shocking religious dismay. It is not a case that the first christians, in order that the preaching be jeopardised, represented the cross with an anchor, a plough, a mast, a man praying with open arms. How could man think that this way of diying should have been put in the myth by the christians selves ? 2.)If somebody should tell us of having seen a dead on the cross resuscitated, nobody would believe him. But if those persons who affirm it, could make miracles,then we would believe them. It is what happened to the Apostles. In order to be believed, they should obtain the power of making miracles. Without this power, the christianity couldn't have been born. 3.)Jesus says on the cross my God, my God, why did you abandon me ? these are words that can shock the reader. But then, why should they have been written if they weren't true? -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.html Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.html Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!

telstra line disconnections
Hi muggers I have been experiencing an annoying problem each time I dial up to the net (G4 800, 9.2.2), and am wondering if others have the same. About 2-3 minutes after being online I am disconnected. I have to re-dial again, and then Im on for as long as I want...about 30min until I log out. This happens every single time I dial up!! It costs me 2 phone calls instead of one. I have been in my present house for nearly 3 years, with the same isp and phone connection on a 56k internal modem. No problems until about 3 months ago. Telstra advised me to ask my isp how to reduce the data transfer rate of my modem...that was the problem!? I have changed my modem software back to V34, but my download speed dropped to 2k/sec from 5k/sec...Im sick of that slow speed. No problems like this last year...same set up. A friend of mine, who is running with a different ISP has had exactly the same problem. He rang telstra and really gave it to them. The problem has stopped for him!! He mentioned to me that a few years ago a person in Qld looked into a similar problem and found that telstra was using some sort of 'pinging' software to test lines and this caused disconnections. What is going on here...does anyone experience the same? Any suggestions greatly appreciated regards chris --

About 2-3 minutes after being online I am disconnected. IS IT REALLY THAT LONG that you are on line ? There is an automatic disconnection by the outgoing exchange if the receiving exchange does not send an answer signal. It is designed that way so that unsuccessful calls do not hold the equipment forever. Timing is more like 90 seconds plus or minus 50 %. I have to re-dial again, and then Im on for as long as I want...about 30min until I log out. This happens every single time I dial up!! It costs me 2 phone calls instead of one. I have been in my present house for nearly 3 years, with the same isp and phone connection on a 56k internal modem. No problems until about 3 months ago. WHAT HAPPENED THEN ? Did you change computers, software or modem ??? Telstra advised me to ask my isp how to reduce the data transfer rate of my modem...that was the problem!? BULLDUST ! But you may have needed a different modem script ! ? I have changed my modem software back to V34, but my download speed dropped to 2k/sec from 5k/sec...Im sick of that slow speed. V34 is 33.6k and the relative speed would be about 3.6k unless your modem is now not matching the ISP setup and the compression is not working right. No problems like this last year...same set up. A friend of mine, who is running with a different ISP has had exactly the same problem. He rang telstra and really gave it to them. The problem has stopped for him!! PERHAPS his was an answer signal problem that was fixed ! He mentioned to me that a few years ago a person in Qld looked into a similar problem and found that telstra was using some sort of 'pinging' software to test lines and this caused disconnections. NORMALLY the line test software would be used once a day and usually over night with the results fed to a maintenance centre the next morning. I said NORMALLY ! What is going on here...does anyone experience the same? Any suggestions greatly appreciated 1. DO YOU INITIATE APPLE REMOTE ACCESS TO DIAL UP, or do you just launch a browser and let it initiate the dialling ? 2. Use a different working computer complete with its own modem to try your line and see what the result is ! It may help prove the line or your equipment setup. regards chris -- -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.html Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.html Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!

I've just had an interesting thought. Many modern Stereo systems have built in CD Burners.

Wanted iMac keyboard
G'day Anyone out there who has discarded their original (small) iMac Keyboard in favour of a bigger one who wants to sell or otherwise dispose of it ? John [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Software] Tired of M$? Try OpenOffice
Tired of the Microsoft Office Monopoly? Read this! (From the NY Times by David Pogue) MICROSOFT once ran a great ad for Office, its business-software cash cow. It went something like this: Over 94 percent of the business world uses Microsoft Office. What are we doing wrong? It was true: the programs of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook) seemed as permanent in our lives as the sun, the moon and Windows error messages. Its rivals I.B.M.'s Lotus suite and Corel's WordPerfect suite, for example were pretty much the same thing for pretty much the same price, and never posed much of a threat. The world waited for a contender that was so compelling, people might actually consider filing for Microsoft divorce. Advertisement Now there is one. It's called OpenOffice, and it has a killer feature: it's free. Like Microsoft Office, OpenOffice whose official name is OpenOffice.org 1.0 comes with a word processor, a spreadsheet program and a slide-show program. It lacks an e-mail program and database, but does have a powerful graphics program and a Web-page editor. Amazingly, all this fits in a 50-megabyte download from www .openoffice.org. You have your choice of 27 languages and three operating systems: Windows, Linux or Solaris. (A Mac OS X version is in the works.) How could such a sweet suite be free? OpenOffice is what's called an open-source project: a carefully orchestrated group effort by programmers all over the world, donating their time and talent to making a dent in the Microsoft monopoly. That's not to imply that the software isn't polished, stable and fast; it is. Still, if the notion of global-community-as-software-company makes you uneasy (who gets the call for tech support?), you can also buy a boxed copy of the software from Sun, which started and coordinates the OpenOffice project. For $76 compared with $580 for the full Microsoft Office Sun's version, called StarOffice, offers a few goodies the free version lacks, including extra fonts and clip art, a printed user manual, a database program and, above all, a phone number for (fee-based) technical help. Corporations can buy StarOffice in large quantities for as little as $25 per copy. The timing couldn't be more interesting. Already, there have been rumblings of discontent in the Microsoft Office congregation, thanks to new twists in Office XP that some find disturbing. For example, Office is now copy-protected, meaning that you can't use it until you've activated it (transmitted or phoned in your serial number to Microsoft) a feature that prevents its being installed on more than two computers. That business about corporate discounts may be even more important. When you're the person in charge of installing a new Office version on 500 or 5,000 PC's, the expense and disruption can be a major migraine. It's as if you're recommending heart transplants for everyone in your family at once. Until now, when companies wanted to upgrade, Microsoft offered discounted upgrade kits. That will end on July 31. After that, Microsoft will offer Software Assurance, a program in which companies pay Microsoft an annual fee for the right to upgrade if Microsoft releases a new version of Office. That may be a money-saver for companies that religiously upgrade, but it's a pricey proposition for companies that skip Office generations especially because Microsoft may not, in fact, unveil any new versions at all during the three-year contract. (Companies may choose not to take part in this program, but then when a new Office version comes along, they'll have to buy all new copies instead of upgrade kits.) Not surprisingly, a number of organizations aren't thrilled by the new plan. In short, the arrival of OpenOffice and StarOffice is perfectly timed. So how is the software itself? Critics have accused Microsoft of pilfering ideas from its competitors, but wait till they get a load of OpenOffice. This suite couldn't resemble Microsoft Office more if you ran it through a photocopier. The menu commands, terminology and even keyboard shortcuts are nearly identical. It's all here: tables, columns, edit tracking, multiple simultaneous text selections, AutoCorrect, AutoFormat, squiggly lines beneath misspellings and so on. This shameless mimicry is a calculated move, of course, designed to make it easy for people to switch from Microsoft to Open. You'll uncover what few differences exist in one afternoon of fumbling. The big question is compatibility: If OpenOffice can't read and save standard Microsoft Office documents, it's dead in the water. No matter how little you paid, it's not much use if you can't exchange files with the other 94 percent. In general, OpenOffice scores very well here. On simple documents a book chapter, a home-finance spreadsheet, your basic bullet-points slide show the translation is flawless. On complex documents, OpenOffice mangles minor formatting: a dashed line between two cells of a
