Spam source - Catch 22
Most spam received here is via Yahoo. Yahoo is of course the host for the WAMUG list. If I block Yahoo in my local ISP I block most spam coming my way, but I also block WAMUG digests. Catch 22. Paul.
Help
Hi Everyone Have a major problem here. Lombard with 9.2.1 384 RAM 333Mhz No juice in the battery, power cut. Computer closes down. Clock resets to 1904. Re-start, and takes over an hour to reboot. SO force quit, re-boot with disk warrior - root creation date problem. Re-start, force quit etc about 3 times, then run DW three times consecutively. Re-start extensions off to speed things up and try find error, no luck, on re-start takes ages. Force quit, run DW no problems show. Restart zap PRAM. No difference SO it takes 2 hours to start, and once up the apps run ok, a little slow, bu they take ages to open or react to anything. Any bright ideas welcome, in desperation Angus

Hi Everyone Have a major problem here. Lombard with 9.2.1 384 RAM 333Mhz No juice in the battery, power cut. Computer closes down. Clock resets to 1904. If the clock is reset to 1904, lots of things get confused, and will attempt to recreate files, and do other sorts of housekeeping chores that otherwise wouldn't get done. You need to make sure that the clock is correct, and then rebooting should be fine (after the first reboot with the correct time when everything gets resynced).

ADSL pricing
Hello all, I'm currently using iprimus as my isp for home 56K use. However, I've now bought an ethernet ADSL modem and am looking around for a reasonably priced monthly account so that I can stop crying everytime I read the speeds you big guys are getting. Any ISP recommendations and general ADSL warnings, as always, are greatly appreciated.

Re: Screen Capture When you Have Two Monitors
you'd have to give some specifics... machine, monitors, grafix card etc I run 2 monitors on two different machines get both screens in the screen shot. A more useful feature is command-shift-4 which gives you a little cross-hair - you then draw a rectangle around the area you want to capture: it still saves you a picture 1 file on your startup disk This may work on your primary monitor Greg Hello Command/Shift - 3 takes an image of your screen. Every time I take a shot, it takes one of the second monitor and not the primary monitor (with the apple menu etc.). Is there any way to fix this?

Re: ADSL pricing

Westnet.com.au offer 1Gb peak for $59/Month, fixed IP, after which they charge per Mb, but their per Mb charge is less than most others I could find. Off peak (midnight-7am) is unlimited. In my first month I have yet to manage to download more than 40% of the on-peak quota, but of course your usage may vary.

Regards, Scott Westnet and Arachnet both offer unlimited downloads in their off peak periods. Westnet are in the middle of a pipe upgrade to add more capacity. If you go over your limit with them it's 6 cents a meg. 4 gig peak limit before excess charges. Arachnet offer a 3 gig limit with shaping to 64k once you exceed your download limit or the option to pay excess useage charges and continue at full speed. Westnet don't block any ports and don't distinguish between business and home users. Their customer service is top notch and they are very communicative about what's happening on their network. Arachnet has some customer service complaints on Whirlpool but most people agree that once you're up and running things are very smooth. Disclaimer: I'm a Westnet customer for personal and business use and love the service.
Re: ADSL pricing
West net does not allow FTP or any other servers though do they? Or have they changed that? I could find nothing in their service agreement that prohibited that, and I'm running a web server... They do prohibit you connecting 'machines not under your control', which would presumably prohibit you reselling their connection as an ISP.

I run both a mail and web server on my Westnet connection 24/7. I told Westnet that I'd be doing so with my own domain name before ever setting up an account with them. They had no problems with me doing so. I also run FTP and game servers when the need arises. For everyone: If you have plans to run a mail server please do it responsibly and don't set it up as an open relay. The ISP's that still allow home and small business users to run mail servers are doing us a favor and it's our responsibility to make sure we don't get them blacklisted by the spam cops of the net.

Speaking of Westnet, Whirlpool, changes to networks, etc the following thread is somewhat interesting. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=39469 specifically... Quote Chris (Westnet Tech Staff) speaking about possible changes to some Westnet plans: We are looking at our options (but we've being doing that for a while). We've got some ideas that leave unlimited off-peak in place, and some that don't. Once we've made a decision on any changes that we might make, we'll say something, but right now we've got no firm plans, and it could be that everything stays the same. The obvious risk is that all of iinet's heavy users jump ship to Westnet, and kill what has been a comfortable network... and nobody wants that. Regards Trevor Lee
Re: ADSL pricing - a thank you
Dear WAMUG folk, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all who responded to my query and putting me in a better position to make decisions. The advice offered by this usergroup never ceases to amaze me and the willingness to help is inspiring. Thanks again. I think I'll sit tight till the end of the year and make a step towards ADSL a new year's resolution. Judging by the comments I've received and the media, there may be quite a few changes to ADSL services in the near future (mostly to the user's benefit). Hopefully, a few service issues will be resolved (fingers crossed). Can I also recommend using the archived WAMUG messages as an excellent additional information resource to those who are new to the group. Regards Phillip -- We have only ONE Earth

Re: Help
Still no difference, 3 hours to boot, when checking mail everything freezes, MS Word takes about 20 minutes or longer to open a file (ok so it wasn't exactly Speedy Gonzales in the first place, but not that slow), I haven't risked opening anything else. You need to boot with extensions off, and then determine which extension it is that you're adding that is causing the 3 hour boot time. You can do this by starting with the base extensions in the extension control panel and gradually enabling more extensions, rebooting each time. Alternatively, what's displayed on the screen when the 3 hour wait occurs? Which extension was the last to load before the wait?

Re: Screen Capture When you Have Two Monitors
cross-hair - you then draw a rectangle around the area you want to capture: it still saves you a picture 1 file on your startup disk This should work for most macs. I've used dozens of multi-monitor macs and com/shift F4 worked on all of them. Com/shift F3 seems to take a picture of the monitor with the apple menu so if you change your menu to the second monitor then thats the one it will capture. This may work on your primary monitor Greg Hello Command/Shift - 3 takes an image of your screen. Every time I take a shot, it takes one of the second monitor and not the primary monitor (with the apple menu etc.). Is there any way to fix this?

CD-RW on 7300
Hello I have a 7300 and am thinking about replacing the CD-ROM drive with a CD-RW. I would like to have all the functionality of the drive (ie. CD-R and CD-RW) and am wondering if OS9.1 provides all of the necessary software. I was advised that a drive I am considering (with PC software only) but sold from Mac store, works just fine with Disc Burner on an IDE PCI card. However, after downloading Disc Burner, the installation software notes that it will not load on this computer. I do have a Disc Burner extension already in my extension folder. Any tips on what I am needing to do to get full CD-RW functionality with this drive I am considering? Thanks. Adam Lippiatt
Don't Upgrade
DON'T UPGRADE Eighteen months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2, which I'd used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 2 and Playboy 6.1. Successive versions of Girlfriend have proved no better. A shareware beta-programme, Party Girl 2.1 had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to all my hardware. Sensing a way out, I upgraded to Fiance 1.0 only to discover that this product has to be upgraded to Wife 1.0. I did this largely because, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000. However, I discovered that Wife 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted, they then re-surfaced months later. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter, and can, without warning, launch Photostrop and Whingezip. These latter products have no help files and require you to try and guess the problem yourself. Additional costly problems are that the Wife 1.0 bundle that came with the original system needs updating regularly, requiring Shoe Shop Browser Pro for new attachments and Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every other week. It also conflicted with some of the new games I wanted to try, stating that they are an illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Ford programme it often crashes or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off. Recently I've been tempted to try Mistress 2000, but there could be problemsif Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000 it will delete all MS Money files before un-installing itself.
