try a dial up connection you have to ring 4 times each time you want to go
online before you get a connection no matter what time of day or night

Frankly I have given up on iinet on being anything other than a 
lottery as far is dial-up is concerned. The usual routine at the 
beginning of the day is at least three attempts to connect and once 
connected, I stay that way even though I might not have any use for 
email or WWW stuff. I once made such a fuss that I got as far as 
the CEO's PA and got a house call from a very knowledgeable bloke 
who fixed things for me. That I think was only because I am one of 
iinet's very early customers.


Had the wrong setting here, the wrong software etc etc. I was not 
the phone line, not the distance to the exchange (whatever that 
is anyway) not the moisture content of the soil, not the state of the 
cricket.


And so after some years and four computers later I don't bother 
anymore, just wear it. Ringing 9214  and pressing this for 
that and this for customer service is another waste. (And getting 
a live bod is only effective before 6.00 am in realistic time ) 
Even if you do, they give out the usual guff about phones. They 
have no idea and live firmly in PC land. oh, you have a MACINTOSH ( 
deep breath)  Yes I just said that..

I note that newspaper ads for Abacus don't carry the section for Apple

don't seem to be trying at all. I recently recommended to a client in 
Forrestdale that they take their 13-month-old iMac (dead after an 
electrical storm) to Cannington. The guy she spoke to on the phone 
spend most of the time trying to convince her to bin the iMac and get a

there weren't any there that day, because apparently they don't get 
enough Apple business to justify manning the Apple store full time.

Well if they don't advertise what can they expect??

mp3 music downloads

2003-04-30 Thread matt falvey
Hi, following a mention in the group I decided to try and download some music 
and have downloaded iSwipe for MP3's. 

It's the first time I have tried to dowload music and I am still feeling my way 
around, but whilst the application seems to work just fine the time for a file 
to download seems very very long. 

I have an iMac 800 with 512ram and an 56k modem but to download a 4 or 5 MB 
file takes over an hour!!! Is this excessive or I am I doing something wrong? 
Any tips on how to speed things up?

Without going into the legality or morality of what you are doing 
welcome to the world of peer-2-peer file sharing. Essentially, you are 
one of tens of thousands of people trying to download things. You can 
only receive the file as fast as the other person can send it. If the 
person sending only has a 56K modem and three people are trying to 
download something from him, then it is going to take a while.

There are lots of 'indie', free, or public domain materials available 
via peer-to-peer, so there's not necessarily any dubious moral or

Peer-to-peer software is a tool, just like a hammer. It's only 
individuals who choose to use it for illegal purposes that make it 
illegal, just as you can use a hammer for illegal purposes.

Faxing from a computer using broadband

2003-04-30 Thread Greg Colgan
Hi there Muggers,
Got a query for you.

Prior to going over to broadband, I used to use my internal fax/modem to
send faxes. I no longer have a modem account, and am accessing Telstra
broadband through the Ethernet port - so no more faxes.

Does anyone know if there is a way that I can send faxes using broadband?
Any nifty software that will enable me to do that?

Cheers and thanks in advance for any responses.

This is incorrect.

If you have a modem, then with a phone splitter and an ADSL filter, you
can connect your modem to the wall and still send faxes.

You do not need a modem account to do this, just like you don't need
anything other than a fax machine to send faxes. The misunderstanding
arises because the modem can be used for two things, one to connect to
the Internet - now done via Ethernet - the other to send faxes, still
done by your modem.

The hookup to make this work is:

wall -- splitter -- adsl modem -- ethernet -- computer
|
wall -- splitter -- adsl filter -- fax modem -- computer

(Text is a really poor way to draw pictures, especially if you don't
know which font the reader is looking at it with.)

(The wall, splitter and computer are the same device, so in effect,
you're connecting the computer to the wall with two sets of gizmo's.)

 Does anyone know if there is a way that I can send faxes using broadband?
 Any nifty software that will enable me to do that?

You can also send a fax over the internet, but that's a whole different
ball game!

Sigh.

Can somebody please explain to me in plain English why it is that when I
point out that there may be (legal or other) issues associated with an
action, question or solution - in this case the downloading of music, in
a previous post, the selling of upgraded software - there appears to be
an understanding that I'm saying that what the person is doing is
illegal.

This is not the case.

I am *attempting* to highlight that it *may* be illegal, and that the
person should make themselves aware of the issues.

Don't we as a community (or as IT professionals) have a responsibility
to at least point this out, or am I missing something?

Hi Greg,

You can still send faxes using the method which you used before.

I think this has been covered before, but this is how you do it.

From the socket on the wall, you need a normal telephone 
splitter/double adapter. You connect one port, via a phone cable, to 
your ADSL modem. You then plug an ADSL filter into the other port, 
and then the phone cable from your modem, into the filter. I hope 
that makes sense.

If a filter did not come with your modem, they can be picked up at 
your local Dick Smith/Tandy for about $20.

If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact me 
directly if you wish.

IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer)

Yes we have a moral responsibility to do that, but we have to be 
careful so as not to require a legal responsibility. The last thing we 
want is for WAMUG to be held legally responsible for the actions of 
people on this list. As such, we have to be careful to retain some form 
of common carrier status. This means that if we start pointing out 
legalities such as it's illegal to pirate copyrighted music on a 
formal basis, we can be held liable things we don't point out that are 
also illegal. (This is in the same way that if an ISP starts filtering 
illegal content, it can be held liable for content that slips through 
the filter.)


You will note that Apple says Don't Steal Music on the iPod. It 
doesn't say It Is Illegal To Pirate Copyrighted Material)

Without going into the legality or morality of what you are doing


Running the risk of being deluged here, but I do need to ask the
following question:

Why are you not going into the legality or morality?


Matt already pointed out the legally associated problems. I would like 
to point out a few things in regards to moral issues.
The morality of downloading music without paying really does vary a 
great deal depending on your perspective. I personally don't think 
there is anything 'morally' wrong with music sharing. When it comes to 
music it is the musical artists that should be benefiting from it. 
After all they are the people who are really creating it. Many musical 
artists are quite happy for their music to be shared online for free so 
why won't the record companies lets this happen at least in these 
situations. It should be up to the creator of the music not some 
corporate body.
I would be more than happy to use a paying system to download music if 
at least 50% of profits went to the musical artists but this certainly 
won't happen. They will probably get something like 5% if they're 
lucky.
Don't get me wrong. I love Apple but I think it is morally wrong for 
them to be making more profit out of musical artists than the artists 
themselves are making. The same moral rule also applies to the music 
companies.


Please note that this is not an assault on anyones moral beliefs as 
every is entitled to their own code of ethics.

[COMMPOST] Super Sarotech Special - Not To Be Missed!!

2003-04-30 Thread Daniel
Hi All

Here is a Super Sarotech Special for the month of May!!

You can purchase a Sarotech 3.5 External Firewire Case for the 
special price of ONLY $159

That's a saving of $70 off the recommended retail.

These are an excellent case that uses a standard power supply (no 
external boxes!), the Oxford 911 chipset, comes complete with all 
cables and works with no installation for Mac OS 9 and X.
So if you've got a spare IDE drive sitting around or looking at an 
external backup solution, or doing video editing and need more 
room,..this is the way to go. (You can add whatever size hard drive 
you want, just ask for pricing.)

Or you could buy the case ready and waiting for when iTunes Music 
Store is available in Australia, and have the perfect solution for an 
MP3 Drive! 180GB of your favourite music in one place, what more 
could you want

Fore more information or to purchase one of these drives you can get 
it from the following places:-

AppleCentre Joondalup

2003-04-30 Thread Reg Whitely
Dear WAMUGgers

Daughter Meg stumbled on this this afternoon on my iBook using IE 
5.2.2. On the NineMSN site she was prompted to run Netscape to play the 
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire game. We loaded Netscape 7 and it runs 
Ok. It seems odd that a Microsoft-based website runs Netscape and won't 
accept IE5. Eat your heart out Big Brother!

Safari 1.0 (v73) loads it and seems to run Ok too.

Quote: The Millionaire game currently does not support Mac with IE
Please use Netscape!

Regards

Reg

Any Mac friendly banks in Perth?

2003-04-30 Thread Brian Scott
Hi,

I'm using OS 9.1.

I have an account with Statewest and although I can access and view my
account on their web page I can't transfer funds with it. I've tried IE and
Netscape.

Is there a bank in Perth that will allow me to transfer funds through their
web page using either IE or Netscape on the Mac using OS 9.1?

Or do I finally have to purchase my first PC?:(

Thanks
Brian

Brian,

I use Mac OS9.1 and online banking with Westpac and Commonwealth Bank and
also Adelaide Bank. Westpac I've used regularly for several years with a
number and type of accounts, the others are just cash management accounts
linked to share trading accounts and used occasionally. I've transfered
funds internally with westpac, and also between westpac and both CBA and
adelaide (in both directions) and all seems OK.

Cheers

Neil

Re: AppleCentre Opening

2003-04-30 Thread Susan Hastings
Yes, its a pity for those of us who live in the area and would like the 
store to do well. I got good service there the other day when buying a 
printer, from someone who knew his mac stuff, Barry Jones.

I note that newspaper ads for Abacus don't carry the section for Apple
that they used to when the Cannington store first opened. Cannington
don't seem to be trying at all. I recently recommended to a client in
Forrestdale that they take their 13-month-old iMac (dead after an
electrical storm) to Cannington. The guy she spoke to on the phone
spend most of the time trying to convince her to bin the iMac and get a
Wintel box. Obviously, he wasn't one of the AppleCentre staff, but then
there weren't any there that day, because apparently they don't get
enough Apple business to justify manning the Apple store full time.

Well if they don't advertise what can they expect??

OSX Woes - Dead after update

2003-04-30 Thread Antony N. Lord

Background :

* Lombard 333MHz, 320MB RAM, OS 10.2.5  9.2.2 (separate partitions)

I installed iTunes 4, followed by 2 items from Software Update (the 
exact items I cannot recall at this point.)


I reboot and it falls out to the command line prompt (#) after a line 
about the ethernet port being up.


I looked around the Apple KBase and did everything there (Privs / 
Drive Utils from the OS 10.2 CD, fsck at the prompt) - still falls 
over at the same point.


Anyone recommend the next step?

I'm finding the more I play with OS X, the more I break it, the 
harder it seems to fix and the more I wish I had a new G4 ;)


Cheers, Antony.

I have used Statewest for BPay but not transfers on IE. Do you mean 
transfers between accounts within Statewest or from Statewest to 
another bank?

Update on Commodore 64 items

2003-04-30 Thread Phillip Arena
Having just moved, I have been a little slow in getting back online. 
THANK YOU all for your interest in the Commodore 64 gear. They have 
all now found good homes. Stay posted, as I will undoubtedly unveil 
something else in my settling in period.


Regards to all.

Phillip

PS I still have at least one Epson Photo Stylus 700 and a nice HP 
officejet 635 (hardly used but with no cartridges for any offers.
