IE 51 defaults to PDF?

[Paul Weaver]

When I click to download a PDF file in Internet Explorer 5.1 the helper file
in File helper Settings has usually defaulted to open up Acrobat and display
the PDF file in IE, which is a pain. I have to reset the helper file to
"download to file" each time. Trouble is next time IE is opened the helper
file has usually defaulted back to opening up Acrobat. Does anyone know how
to make IE stay set to download to file please.

Thanks, Paul.

POP mail facility?

[Steven]

It seems that Hotmail has withdrawn the ability to be able to POP mail from
external servers. I know I could do this some time back, but the option
appears to have disappeared from their site when logged in.

Anyone know of any free web based email facility which allows you to POP
mail from elsewhere? I've tried  and
 but they require an annual fee for this service.

Any tips appreciated.

Steven

Works like a charm. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check the file
type (as per Larry's suggestion), as I had already deleted the file.

Hi Eugene, PeterSW here,

Kyocera Colour Lasers have the lowest consumable cost - if you can afford 
the dosh another $3000 will get you an A3 colour laser (8000 series I 
think) that costs as little as 8c per A4 colour printed page to run!! 
(Believe it this was the cost we came up with during an assessment of 
this unit for a government dept.)

Checek them out. I know Mita do a nice machine for the $3000 - $4000 mark 
that has costs comparable to those of HP (not that cheap). Have a look at 
online reviews they can be VERY informative but shop around and even 
advertise for quotes.

looking at maybe buying a second hand AO printer - ENCAD CADJET AO 
colour, that naval architect is selling

see for something similar http://www.encad.com.:80/printers/CADJET-2/

evidently it is 4- 5 years old and had been connected to both a pc

can anyone tell me if my setup will enable me to directly print to 
this cadjet, so I can print my A1 drawings

I used domus.cad http://www.interstudio.net/DomusCadE.html

Have a look at the file type. If it is something like "bzy", then that
could be the problem. Set it to anything else and you should be able to
trash it. I use SuperGetInfo for this but I'm sure there are other ways
to see and change file/creator types. File Buddy comes to mind

Rogue file query

[Andrew Schox]

Hi all,

I've got an incompletely downloaded file (using Interarchy 5), under 10.2.1,
which I can't get rid of. When I try to put in in the trash, I get the
message: "The item "xx" is being used by another task right now. (Other
tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the trash). Try again when the
task is complete"

I've tried fiddling with the permissions, deleting it as root, and rebooting
the machine, all to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Andrew

Re: Colour laser printer

[Dave Choy]

This is the one I've had my eye on since it was announced:
HP 2500n - RRP $3,364



the next one up is faster and has more RAM but is just out of your 
budget - $5,389


I've found HP lasers to be the most reliable (I've used the old Apple 
ones, Brother, Canon, Know people with Kyoceras, Lexmark etc - but 
nothing comes close). This should meet your specs though you didn't 
specify how many pages/month you would be doing, speed, or what minumum 
resolution you need (this one does 600 x 600 dpi wit reso enhancement)

can anyone recommend a networkable colour laser printer for

essential. Priced around the $5000 mark. Mac compatible of course.
Low cost of consumerables and duty cycle.

It actually did connect though. So all I can think of is that the sound

Re: Networking Mac OS 9.2 to Windows XP Professional

[Greg Pennefather]

OS X (10.1.4 onwards I think and much better support in 10.2) has native
CIFS or SMB support for networking with Windoze. OS 9 doesn't have this.

You can add the functionality using the commercial product Dave
(www.thursby.com) or the open source Samba (www.samba.org). There may be
others I'm not aware of but I think these are the 2 most popular.

Hope this helps

Re: Continued weirdness

Scott

You need to tell us a little about your connection. Is it dial up? Is it
ADSL? Is it being shared?

This sounds similar to a problem I saw a few months back. A Mac sharing an
ADSL connection through a Windoze XP machine. The Mac has trouble getting
mail and some web sites worked and others didn't. The problem was the MTU
size - it needs to be made smaller (1472 is the max I believe when sharing)
using IP Net Tuner or similar.

Hope this helps.

Enough BrickBats - now for the Roses!...

To the long-suffering union people (esp. Mary Franklyn and David Balfour)
who went into bat for the underdogs - thanks for recognising the need for
the alternative platform.

To the staff (especially blitto) who yelled long and loud when promises
were broken - thanks for standing up for your staff and students.


Thanks Peter you couldn't have said it better.
I am sure many other teachers agree with what you have said.
Can't wait to get mine.
