A shameful plug

[Brad Helden]

I know this may not be the right place to plug oneself, but I am in 
the process of setting up a new business and need all the promotion I 
can get.


If anyone is in need of Japanese typesetting or graphic design work 
aimed at the Japanese market, or are thinking of marketing in Japan 
and need consultation on Japanese business ethics and culture please 
get in touch with me on 9330-4139 or drop me a line at

Many thanks,

appleworks 6

[David de la Hunty]

Has anyone heard of this?

Appleworks 6 (os 9.2), when on a LAN, redraws all it's screens TWICE - 
eg open Shortcuts, the list of shortcuts displays twice. Slows it down. 
Hardware: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ("pizmo") running 9.2.2 (same problem in 9.0.4). 
Actually the whole computer works a lot slowly when on the network. 
Other apps: various, including Timbuktu Pro 4.


Also - my copy often crashes when I try to quit it: spinning wheel icon 
for a while, then an error of type (whatever) and it "unexpectedly 
quit". Furthermore, when it does this, it doesn't release the RAM back 
to the system. Any of you gurus know what this means? Thanks heaps.

We got a DLink DWL 1000AP for $350 a few months back and it works 
beautifully with both Mac and Linux laptops. The setup software is 
Windows only, but that functioned fine using Virtual PC to setup the 
AP. They also have a slightly cheaper model, the 900AP which seems to 
be very similar.

It even seems to support Appletalk (at least, I'm printing to an old 
HP Laserjet via wireless)

The antenna is removeable/replaceable too, but I'm not sure what it's 
power output is. We seem to be able to get over most of our 5 acres 
using a new 5dbi antenna (which cost $34).

Cheers,

I used Pagemill to create my site (which looks wonderful in Chimera or 
Omni). Pagemill 3.0 came bundled free with 9.0 I think. My site is also 
hosted free @ geocities.


My site could be a lot better but time ...

Hi All!

I have recently downloaded 0.5.0 build of Chimera and seem to be having a
slight problem. When I start it up, it says that there is another
version of Navigator already running. I have a look in Process Viewer
and there is no copies running. Any ideas how to kill this phantom Navigator?

Running 10.2 on 400 Lombard with 384meg.


Does the problem persist if you reboot?

If so, then try removing some files in 
Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/chimera


Note that you might have bookmarks etc. stored in there, so you may 
want to have it all backed up first...


Have fun,
Shay

Re: Wireless Access Point Recommendation

[Shay Telfer]

I originally looked at PCI cards (the router / gateway / firewall
machine is a Mac running IPNetRouter and it makes sense to do it all
on one box) but it seems Cisco ($$$), SkyLINE and Macwireless are the
only options in this field. Even worse the SkyLINE and Macsense
cradles only work with their PCMCIA cards (and I've got spare Lucent
/ Enterasys cards here which I'd prefer to use if the cradle option
was pursued.)


I'm reasonably sure that Lucent has a PC-Card adapter available, try 
their local rep. (Not sure about Mac drivers for it though :)



I understand AppleTalk may be an issue here. It seems only Cisco gear
is supporting AppleTalk over 802.11b?


Are you actually planning on using AppleTalk in this TCP/IP based 
world? Even Apple has deprecated its use in favour of its IP based 
technologies. Of course if you still need to talk to legacy AppleTalk 
printers etc. it's obviously a concern :)


Have fun,

Re: Netscape 7.0

[Shay Telfer]

OTOH, I have downloaded and am now using Mozilla 1.1, which seems to be
much the same thing, at least on a feature-by-feature comparison.
Mozilla is actually now a joy to use, something I have not been able to
say with previous builds.


Personally I think that chimera is the best of the lot if you're 
running under OS X. Plus it's just a web browser, not a web browser 
trying to do lots of other things poorly...

Re: Netscape 7.0

[Dr Jim Cummins]

Superficially it seems to be better and a bit faster than 6.2. 
However, I find I'm still often reverting to 4.9 as it allows actual 
download of .pdf files instead of just displaying them onscreen 
(maybe I just haven't figured out a way round that yet!)

Hmm...I can't get it to go past the "Connecting to Server" dialog. I 
invariably have to force quit, so I have yet to see so much as the user 
interface.

OS 10.2 & HP drivers

[Michael Hawkins]

I contacted HP because the HP set up assistant kept stalling when I tried to
install the latest available driver for an OfficeJet G85.

The response was prompt (which is good) but the news was bad (which is not
so good). To quote:

"Thank you for contacting Hewlett-Packard's Product Support Technical
Center.

OfficeJet printers currently do not function with Macintosh OS 10.2.
Hewlett-Packard is aware of this issue and is working to provide a solution.
We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, and presently we
recommend continuing to use OS 10.1 until a solution to the issue is found.

Please visit our web page at http://www.hp.com periodically and click on
Drivers to check for driver updates. You can also sign up for Driver Update
Notification from the same page. The Driver Update Notification system will
notify you by email whenever new drivers for your product are released. We
apologize, but currently there is no ETA for OS 10.2 driver availability.

Once again, thank you for contacting Hewlett-Packard's Product Support
Technical Center."

To look on the bright side, it may yet be that after having had the
OfficeJet for 20 months I'll be able to use it at some where near what the
advertisements said it would do when I paid in excess of $1400 to buy it.

In future I will take my PowerBook with me and ask to see the device working
before I pay.

Michael Hawkins.
