re: Sleep G4 PowerBook
Many thanks to all who suggested a solution to my problem and to those who offered me OS 10 updates. What a marvellous thing this WAMUG mailing list is.

When I close the PowerBook the 'sleep' light on the lid latch does not light up: on opening the PowerBook the screen is blank (black) and regardless of which keys I hit it does not wake up. I have to do a force quite to restart the computer. This doesn't happen every time I put it to sleep, but only occasionally and not according to any particular pattern. Any suggestions?

Downloading blues
I am running MacOS 10.2.1 and would like to upgrade to 10.6, but like Tony Cockbain (ref Sleep G4 PowerBook 11 May) my prospects of successfully downloading large items are poor. So, I am also interested in hearing from any WAMUGer who can supply the updates on CD. In fact, I can hardly ever download more than 15MB without being disconnected. My dialup connection is restricted to about 28k because of inadequate Telstra cabling. On top of that, iinet is either terminating or not answering about half the time. I am looking into broadband and alternative ISPs, but Whirlpool comments are not all that encouraging at this time. Can anyone help? Vlad James (08) 9295 6440 or 0402 477 222
Re: Downloading blues
At the request of some of the members, WAMUG will be producing a MacOSX Update CD which will contain every update for 10.1 and 10.2. It looks like 10.2.6 was the last update, so we should be pretty safe. The CD will be finished soon and can be ordered from out web site.

Default mail on IE 5.2.1
Recently I upgraded Eudora 5.1 (Classic) to Eudora 5.2.1 to run under OSX 10.2. Although I installed over the old 5.2 in the Eudora Application folder the new application icon appeared outside the folder. Everything seemed to be working so I ignored this, and it might be of no consequence. I was able to link Eudora 5.2.1 with IE 5.2.1 using command click on an URL in an email, my mail box contents were preserved, and my settings appeared to be OK wrt my service provider. However, when I tried to make Eudora 5.2.1 the default mail application for IE 5.2.1 I failed. It reverted to the Classic version 5.1. The routine I used was Internet Explorer 5.2.1: Explorer menu--Preferences--Network-- Protocol Helpers--select Mailto--click on Change--choose Helper--locate Eudora 5.2.1 application--Open--OK., but no joy. Advice appreciated. Merv -- Science teaches that we must see in order to believe, but we must also believe in order to see.
