Hi All

I thought the following might be of interest to some. Apple's new 
software Keynote was rated quite well by Forbes.com. Quite an 
interesting read for such a new piece of software.

You should then be able to select your flash text etc and then in the 
property inspector, press the play button to see it work (or preview 
in browser).

Lesley,
When you create flash it makes a swf file which you have to add in every
folder where the button will appear, not only in Templates where it will go
automatically.

folder view by name

[tom samson]

Can any one tell me why , in jaguar, I have a folder of text clippings 
that refuses to fall in line with view by name? The first one hundred 
odd go from a-z and then it goes back from a-z again. All clippings 
have the same title headings . It has me stumped.

Well done to those that organised this. It's a way, way, way overdue
happening for us southeners! - having to go for years with no Mac

Also I'd like to say that it's good to see someone from Apple on this
list and willing to update us on some local Apple happenings.

Yes indeed. Next is the AppleCentre Geraldton inside Mitchell and Brown 
(yawn), or a really nice standalone centre next to the Post 
Office.There are plenty of empty shopfronts here to choose from. Come 
on someone... Rod?

Hi all

I'd like to give you all an update on an exciting event taking place
this Saturday.

We are opening a new AppleCentre for the folk who live South of the
River, in Cannington. This store is very exciting for Apple in Perth.
Firstly, it is a totally new look for AppleCentre which looks
sensational. I've seen some of the east coast stores that have been
done this way, and they look great - a fantastic retail experience.
Secondly, it is a new concept store for Apple in Australia as this will
be our first AppleCentre store within a store. This AppleCentre will be
located inside the new Abacus superstore in Cannington, and is going to
enable us to be in front of thousands of PC users, who may have never
considered "switching" to the Mac.

So please come down on Saturday and take a look. There will be heaps of
activities going on and Garner and I will both be there during the day.
We will have the updated iApps on demo and I'm trying VERY hard to get
one of the new 12" Powerbooks over as well - no guarantees on that one,
but it's looking pretty likely. If I don't get it, you will be able to
see the new 12" PowerBook at most of the resellers next week.

Also, the first 20 AppleCentre customers to spend over $80 will receive
a free movie ticket.

Look forward to seeing you on Saturday, the store opens at 9am, and is
located next to Toys R Us on Albany Highway.

Kind Regards

Karl

Re: OT DV video cameras

What I need as a minimum is to be able to take still photos of a good
quality of PCB images (to show mods that I make to people over seas) and to
take general photos.


For taking photos of PCBs I would assume you need high-resolution so 
you should really be looking at 4 - 5 megapixel cameras. DV video 
cameras definitely won't cut it as even with progressive scan 
options, you'll get far lower resolution and quality for still images.


Personally we went for the Minolta DiMage 7i 
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/dimage7i.html#specs

although there is now an even better model available as well, the DiMage 7hi
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/dimage7hi.html

They feature 7 x optical zoom (28mm - 200mm), manual focusing ring, 
very fast response for multiple frame per second shooting (up to 7 
fps, or 15 fps at lower res), 5 megapixel resolution (2560 x 1920), 
standard 49mm thread on end of lens barrel for filters, Audio 
annotation, short movie capture (320 x 240, 15 fps, 60 seconds) 
SLR-style through the lens Electronic viewfinder etc.


not bad for around Aus$2000.

If that's too rich for your budget, check out 
http://www.steves-digicams.com for excellent reviews of heaps of 
other cameras.

Workshop on DVD, to the first 10 people who register and attend the 
event at each location, as well as giving a copy away with each copy of

Unfortunately, MacOS X Installers up to now have not offered Custom 
Install options. It's been all or nothing, so you're left with not much 
more than re-installing MacOS X from your original CD, just to get a 
clean copy of Keycaps.

You do have a few other options -

1. Download a copy of Pacifist. This is a program similar to (Classic) 
MacOS' Tome Viewer, in that it will let you look inside an Installer 
package and extract just the items you want. See if you can extract the 
Keycaps app from the Installer package on the original MacOS X CD. I 
have not used this for any real purpose, so I cannot offer any advice 
except USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

2. Ignore the problem and be happy with the fact that your keyboard 
modifiers are working anyway (do do know, of course, that Keycaps does 
not need to be running in order for them to work - it's just a helpmate 
to show you what the key combinations are)

3. Ignore the problem and activate the Character Palette (System 
Preferences -> International -> Input Menu Tab -> Click on Character 
palette). It's more useful that Keycaps in many ways, giving you access 
to the full Unicode character set.

4. Ignore the problem and wait for the next system update, seeing that 
everything else is working OK anyway.
