Hi all came across this about Apple Australia not honoring .Mac promo

Quite often Apple Australia does not follow the same promotions as the 
US (and you will find Apple in Europe also don't follow the US). It is 
almost if they are separate companies!

How to play folder of mp3's continuously?

2002-09-29 Thread Steven
Can someone please tell me of some freeware or shareware that enables you to
play a folder of, say, mp3 files, continuously? As opposed to Quicktime
Player which, as far as I can tell, you can only play one mp3 at a time.

TIA...Steven

That may be, but entering the .Mac section through the Apple Australia 
website leads you to the area where the $100 voucher offer is made. 
Seems to me if Apple Oz tries to back out, they're in for some legal 
problems.

Software raid in 10.2.1

2002-09-29 Thread Wes
Anyone know any good info on Software Raid performance and 
requirements of OS 10.2.1?


Finally got a new machine (Damn impressed by delivery speeds from 
G-mac. Machines released in US on Tues, had mine here on Fri) and 
looking into Striped Raid Array with some extra HD's before i start 
to install anything.


I'm gathering the Software raid gives improved HD access times at the 
expense of computer cycles? I can only find info on performance of 
softraid in OS9 and raid cards so far. I don't do any high level 
ripping or audio work though i'm more info graphic design and often 
work with very large files. Any recommendations. Assuming the 
hardware raid cards would take all the CPU performance loss on 
themselves relieving the CPU of that extra strain.


Plan is 2x 120gb on ATA 100 bus Striped Raid Array for the main work drive
2x 40gb on ATA 66 Striped array for the system and temp files and scratch disks

Can 10.2.1 run on a striped array without any problems?
Should the HD's be identical speced? The only 120g i can buy around 
is western digital whereas the internal one is IBM brand.


I'm gathering the drives should be as closed speced to each other as 
possible to stripe. I cant' get an IBM deskstar here but can get a 
120GB westerdigital with 8meg cache.


Any help greatly appreciated or a direction to a page with good info 
would also be great.


Have yet to run the machine through its paces which i annoying with 
such a good machine just sitting here for now . Need HD sorted as 
soon as possible so i can go on an installation mission

Photo Transferring

2002-09-29 Thread Ray Collisson
Hi.
I'm having difficulty transferring some JEPG photo's from my IMac to a
PC with Windows XP, has anybody come across this problem before if so
could please tell me which program you used to do it, or have I get to
get a program for my wife's laptop which converts Mac to PC, (she
prefers Mac but had to get a PC from the education dept.) I'm running
9.2 on the IMac and 10.1 on my laptop.

Thanks Ray
