Hmm ... 'Airflow'.

The new minitowers have more holes than a cheesegrater ;-) Like the

Yes Reg, but besides enjoying my computer, I do occasionally have to

I use the same apps on both Mac and PC and as they basically function

Hi Rob (and others)

I've never used this site, but I know they have been around for a 
while, and seem fairly legit. You will note that a lot of the stuff 
being sold off (and has been for a while) seems to come from Desktop 
Power, which is an eastern Apple Reseller.


As long as your client follows the 'ol "common sense" practice with 
auction's then I would imagine they shouldn't have any dramas!!


Just my view anyway!!

Hope that helps!

Re: Upgrading to OS X 10.2

I'm curious as to how building yourself a PC counts as thinking
different... Or how it would be less expensive than purchasing 10.2
or subscribing to .Mac or buying Virtual PC (or indeed all of these
combined!)

Have fun,
Shay

I never said I thought different Shay. I just said that I built 
myself a PC to supplement my Mac (the latter which I've used and 
LOVED since the mid 80s). It's not a case of thinking differently - 
as always for me, it's a case of thinking how productive can I be at 
a reasonable cost. And how is it less expensive? Well, my PC cost a 
quarter of the price and is 4X as 'powerful' as my most desirable Mac 
at the moment!

Re: Go ahead, make my day: Get an Acer!

[Shay Telfer]

We restart in OS X and drag a Word icon to the dock. That's good. Now
let's test it. It loads Word, loading 'Classic' mode to run. Um, I
remember Doreen said that AirPort doesn't work in 'Classic' mode, and
he wants to print his worksheets tomorrow morning on the networked
Kyocera. We'll look in the Chooser. Sure enough, no network; no
networked printers.


Did you look at the network from OS X? Could it see a connection to 
the Airport at the time? Could you print from OS X?



The point of this recount, really, is this, on reflection. I know
about Macs; enough to get by and sometimes to help others. I've used
them for 12 years. What would the novice Mac user do if he or she
encountered the same problem? It hardly sounds user-friendly... or
have I missed something?


The point is, try doing the same thing on a PC. It'll make the Mac 
look much more fabulous (even if you are having strange networking 
problems that you aren't meant to be having. On a PC they're usually 
guaranteed to be stranger :)


Your options when faced with a problem are typically
* Ask someone else/some group/expert for help
* Try something yourself
* Give up

The first two options will increase your knowledge, and reduce the 
amount of time you need to spend solving problems in future (assuming 
that you learn something, of course). Not to mention improving your 
self confidence. It's how people get to become experts themselves. 
Otherwise we'd all still be scrabbling around in the dirt.

Go ahead, make my day: Get an Acer!

[Reg Whitely]

Dear WAMUGgers

I thought you might like to read this little tale, described as it
unfolded today. We have just been offered laptops under the
Department's 'Notebooks for Teachers Program'. Acers, of course; no
sight yet of any Apple option. I'm saying yes to the offer, but only
when the Apple option becomes available.

Teacher 2 says yes to the Acer as he uses a PC at home anyway, and
Teacher 3 is undecided because she doesn't like the legalistic
gobbledegook of the contract. She also likes the iBook, especially
the Combo with DVD and CD-R but her husband has a PC laptop at home,
and he is the one who will help her. She finally signs for the Acer.
Not likely we'll become an 'Apple Distinguished School'.

Teacher 1 has used the iBooks at school and at home and decided today
that he wanted to take one home to do some school work tonight in
front of the TV. (A sort of 'Clayton's Computer maybe?) He asks me
for help to install Micro$oft Office on it as he uses Word at home.
That's Ok; we have Office 2001 for Mac OS 9 and Office vX for OS X.

He opts for the OS 9 installation as our Kyocera laser printer prints
rubbish in OS X. (Also Enjie has our OS X disk!). We cannot install
OS 9 software properly when in OS X so we restart in 9. Then we go to
install it, only to find it has already been installed. That's Ok
Reg, now let's restart in OS X. Accidentally we restarted in 9 again.

We restart in OS X and drag a Word icon to the dock. That's good. Now
let's test it. It loads Word, loading 'Classic' mode to run. Um, I
remember Doreen said that AirPort doesn't work in 'Classic' mode, and
he wants to print his worksheets tomorrow morning on the networked
Kyocera. We'll look in the Chooser. Sure enough, no network; no
networked printers.

Ok let's restart in 9. This we do and make an alias on the desktop
for Word. Check the Chooser. No, nothing there. It's the first time
we've used OS 9 this way on the Mac.

Open the Control Panels; activate AppeTalk, TCP/IP and File Sharing
via AirPort. (Not that we need all that but you know, when he wants
to get the internet later tomorrow, he might as well get it without
going through this again!)

Test print a Word document we create, carrying one word: 'Help'. It
prints. Victory at last.

So now he has gone home to watch whatever with the iBook on his lap,
and to sit in waiting for his Acer with Windows XP. What delights
will await him then? hopefully he won't need to go through this again.

The point of this recount, really, is this, on reflection. I know
about Macs; enough to get by and sometimes to help others. I've used
them for 12 years. What would the novice Mac user do if he or she
encountered the same problem? It hardly sounds user-friendly... or

Re: 10.2 with tibook

[crazy_ebot]

Coooel ... I think you're the first non-developer to have mentioned having it 
(on this list) Michael - you lucky ... ah, fatherless person ;-)

I've noted the forums in macnn and appleinsider 've people stating they 
received Jag- *ahem*, the 10.2 update with their new or repaired computer.

There's also info from thinksecret.com; they reckon the new powermacs will 
be press-released tomorrow ... and that they'll come with 10.2 pre-installed. 
Some people even think that Apple might release 10.2 early, to coincide with 
the new powermacs (pretty unlikely I figure).

Let us know how 10.2 performs eh?

Privacy Act and email addresses?

[Phillip McGree]

Hiya all,

I got a spam email from an auctioneer in Armadale today.

>From the address that he sent it to, I can immediately identify that he got 
>the email address from another auction place in Midland (ie thanks to having 
>my own domain name, I use a different email address for each "commercial" 
>email list, eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

I rang spammer auctioneer and had a go at him, and asked where he got the email 
addresses from. Once he realised that I had a clue, he hung up on me.

I emailed Midland auctioneer and their response so far has been that they send 
all their stuff out via BCC (ie blind carbon copy), so he wouldn't have gotten 
the addresses from them. But the specific email address that I have used 
indicates that spammer has someone gotten access to Midland's database.

So now I'm curious... there's all this new privacy legislation these days, so 
does anyone know what a business' obligations are to protect our email 
addresses? 


Rgds,
Phil

Actually... The user interface was designed by Apple specifically for
eWorld. This was all taken over by AOL when eWorld folded.

AOL actually started life as AppleLink, which morphed into eWorld which
eventually evolved into AOL as we know it today. It is quite possible that
AOL would not be around today had it not been for Apple hiring Steve Case
and his mates to start AppleLink.

Talking Of Old Mac Games...

[Kevin Phyland]

Hi every1,

More than ten years ago I was enthralled and beguiled by an addictive (and 
bloody time-consuming) puzzle game called "Fool's Errand". It was a work of art 
by Cliff Johnstone which won many awards for best game etc... all those years 
ago. He wrote two more games in a similar vein (called "3 In Three" and "At The 
Carnival") which were unfortunately never released...

Well, for those as nostalgic as I am for those types of games, CJ has released 
all three of his puzzle games for free download from his website:

http://fools-errand.com/

The classic "Fool's Errand" still runs quite nicely on my new iBook and the 
other two stand up quite well (and I have to report are as addictive as the 
"Errand"!)

Just thought I'd let people know... :))

Here's to many more wasted hours...

Re: ADSL up and running - Plus a Warning

[Shay Telfer]

If however, this isn't the case for whatever reason in
this situation, and the guys from the Osborne Park
Apple Centre are reading this, then it would be
greatly appreciated if you write back with a little
more detail.

The Dlink DSL-300 modem and Netgear router are very
common items, and if there are any problems with them,
even if it is just with iiNets "custom" firmware on
the Dlink, then I, and probably a few other techs out
there, would be greatly appreciative of your
experiences as to avoid similar pitfalls in the future.


I've never had any problems with my DLink DSL-500, but then again my 
ADSL connection isn't up and running (thankyou Telstra). The router 
itself configured via the web browser quite happily.


The DSL-300 unfortunately doesn't offer the web configuration feature 
and (I believe) behaves just like a modem, not a router, so I don't 
even think it necessarily has an IP address! And if you could 
configure it you'd probably need to use TFTP, SMB, telnet, the 
console cable or the Windows configuration software, but I don't have 
any documentation on the commands used by the modem available to me, 
so I can't provide any details. I'm sure that the ISP/dealer types 
probably have access to the relevant info.


Have fun,

Need your help - Perth Roadshow September 5

[Karl Videmanis]

Hi WAMUGgers

The team at Apple Perth need your help.

We have a long standing tradition of having the most successful 
roadshow in the country, in terms of both numbers registered and actual 
attendance at the roadshow. Not per Capita - I'm talking actual numbers!


To date, whilst our numbers look good, we are being beaten by Sydney 
and Melbourne. So could I ask, if you are intending to attend, and have 
not yet registered, could you please do so. I also encourage you to 
invite friends, family and work collegues to attend, and get them to 
register also. As always, the roadshow will be something special - and 
it is a good opportunity to get non-Mac people to see the best of Apple.


This is not a plea to just register people for the sake of numbers - if 
you can't make it, that's OK, don't register, but if you might be 
attending, then do register. And don't register dead people either (its 
not an election). We want to know the real number of people coming, and 
we want as many people there as possible (Burswood holds 2500 people).


To make it easy for you, here's where to register -

Re: file sharing extension OS 9

[Shay Telfer]

My computer keeps crashing and I suspect the file sharing extension is the
problem.
When I have to force quit the message that appears is "force file sharing
extension to quit". Then the computer freezes up.
Any suggestions
David Hudleston


When you do a force quit under OS 9, the application which the 
processor is currently executing is the thing that is quit. Unless a 
specific application has locked up the processor and is hogging all 
the time, the process you quit is essentially selected at random from 
the running processes, so it's not necessarily the file sharing 
extension that's the cause of the problem.


If you turn file sharing off (or disable the file sharing extension 
in the Extension Manager control panel) and the problem still occurs, 
then it's not the file sharing extension.


Otherwise, it's possible some of the file sharing preferences have 
become corrupted.


Have fun,

Throw away the file sharing CP prefs file & the file sharing folder in the

That¹s what I use an AirPort Base Station for. I guess I trust Apple's code
more than iiNet's. Then again, I would probably go for a Cisco 827 over a
d-Link as well!

Each to his own I guess.

file sharing extension OS 9

[David Hudleston]

My computer keeps crashing and I suspect the file sharing extension is the
problem. 
When I have to force quit the message that appears is "force file sharing
extension to quit". Then the computer freezes up.
Any suggestions

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error 
messages with haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction 
and inscrutable rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five 
syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. 
Haiku are used to communicate timeless messages, often evoking powerful 
insight through extreme brevity.

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.


The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.


Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.


Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.


Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.


Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.


First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.


With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.


The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao - until
You bring fresh toner.


Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.


A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.


Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.


You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.


Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.


Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.


Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

What am I allowed to call the "large, ferocious, spotted feline, 
Panthera onca, of tropical Americs" which is the Macquarie Dictionary 
entry under "jaguar"?

'Jaguar' name cannot be used in Australia
A MacNN reader notes why the Mac OS X 'Jaguar' name cannot be used in
Australia. "This has to do with Ford Motor Company's intellectual 
property

of the name 'Jaguar'. Apparently there is a car with the same name ;-).
Apple Australia's website reflects this as their is no mention of 
Jaguar
on their Mac OS X site." Numerous readers also note that the name 
'Jaguar'
cannot be used on the European box or by retailers, although people 
will

still know it by name.
