Re: Long Torx screwdriver?

G'day Rod, I've got a Mac-Plus era long torx screwdriver at home (and 
case splitter as well) if you'd like to borrow them.

[OT] This sums up Spam mail quite nicely

Hi All

A little off the Mac topic, but not the Spam topic.

It's a little shockwave file that explains Spam quite well. (Might 
take a little while to load.





I thought it was quite funny!
Enjoy!!!

Re: Microscopes

2003-02-28 Thread Dominic Reynolds
Hi, 

We use high end dedicated systems here for forensic work (Olympus,
Leica) but on a simpler level I have heard some good reports for the
Intel QX3/ QX3plus, this
was originally designed (no surprises) for Win 98 but now has drivers
for 2000/ xp and some clever soul has written drivers for the mac (OS
X.1.5) 

I believe these USB microscopes are available from places like Scitech
and Toys 'R' Us or online < http://www.compuvisor.com/digbluqx3usb.html
>for less than $100 US

again google is your friend (microscope + computer)

Re: Exporting Photos to camera

2003-02-28 Thread Dark Servant



I need to put the milk back into the cow because I have no buckets.
I want to get a print out of a photo on my hard drive but have no 
other

means of transporting it (No burner or card reader).

Thanks in advance for help
Ruben A. Franke



When I hook my Fuji Finepix 2400 camera up to my G4 it mounts the 
SmartMedia
card on the desktop as a disk. I can copy files from the SmartMedia 
card to
my hard drive and even delete them directly from the card with no 
problem.
I've also gone the other way to share pictures. All I had to do was 
make
sure the files were named using the same convention the camera used 
and I

could even see the pictures using the controls on the camera. I've
transferred pictures to the camera for storage without using the naming
convention the camera uses and even though the files can be seen when 
the

card is mounted on the desktop the camera can't see them.

Thanks for your input but unfortunately my compact flash card does not 
mount on the desktop as a disk when I hook up my Canon Powershot A200. 
I'm running OS 10.2.2
Would booting into OS 9.2 allow this to happen? If not how can I get 
my card to mount?


Thanks Again
Ruben A. Franke



[COMMPOST] Hard Drive Special - Wow!

2003-02-28 Thread Daniel

Hi All!

I have been offered a very good price on an external Hard Drive. If 
anyone is interested please let me know today as I will be ordering 
them this afternoon (about 2.30pm) and thought I would offer this 
special to WAMUG also.


It is a:-
Western Digital 180GB ATA100 2MB Hard Drive in a Sarotech External 
"Hard Box" Firewire Case (With the Oxford 911 Chipset).
These external hard drives are normally in the price range of 
$770-$1065 (depending where you purchase from.)

I am offering these for $629!!

The Sarotech case is excellent, as it has no screws to put it 
together/pull it apart and uses a "normal" everyday Power cord, so 
you don't need some special "adapter" to run it! I use them here and 
find they are very good!!!


If you are interested in the above, want more info, or would like to 
order one please drop me an email or give me a call!!



Also announced recently and able to be purchased is a piece of 
software called CaptyDVD Authoring Software. If you have purchased an 
external SuperDrive (DVD-R) and find iDVD doesn't work with it, or 
just want something to match with iDVD then have a look at it. It 
allows you - Create customised DVD with drag-and-drop ease - Chapter 
feature to jump to favourite scenes - Enhanced DVD's with photo slide 
show and music - Play back on a wide variety of DVD players - Mac OS 
9.x and Mac OS X.x

Fore more information have a look at:-

Priced at $150, WAMUG Special $135

Having computer problems that you can't figure out? Or you just feel 
it's time to give your computer the "spring clean" it deserves.
Drop me an email for a service call to your place and I will offer 
you a discount for the work done. This discount offer valid for March.




Well just a couple of specials this week. If you are after something 
else then drop me an email or give me a call and I will price it up 
for you.


Thanks for looking! I hope to talk to you soon.
Don't forget to check out the Apple eCafé this long weekend at the 
Computer Expo (Friday to Monday at the Burswood Dome.)


Kind Regards
Daniel Kerr

Re: Wanted to buy - a machine from the dark side

2003-02-28 Thread Kelly Duffy
Most contents insurance does. The problem is proving that it's lightning and
not a power surge. If the insurance company proves it is a power surge then
Western Power are actually liable and have to pay for the damaged goods.
I've heard it can be a bit of a battle getting them to pay up though.

Regards,
Kelly

There have been numerous utilities listed on VersionTracker over the 
years for doing this sort of thing. There was one even one a few years 
ago which would save everything into a FileMaker file.

Have a poke around on VT. I'm sure you'll find something.
