inet Bliink almost perpetually on the blink

[Michael Hawkins]

Whoever named the Bliink series of accounts "Bliink" must have been in the
know.
Mine rarely works.

I sent an email yesterday (Wednesday) because I could not conect using my
Bliin 256 account. The green adsl link light was out. I tried unplugging the
modem for a couple of minutes and rebooting the computer. The problem
remained. I logged on using dial-up and checked the faults page, but no fault
was reported. No fault has since been reported in iinet's fault emails. I have
not had a reply to my email. The same problem hapened again a couple of times
today. This is most unsatisfactory.

I have asked inet respond to yesterday's email and this email by fax,and said
that failure to do so will indicate to me that iinet is either not prepared to
or not able to provide a reliable isp service to me.
Service has been appalling since 10 March and iinet has not done anything to
effectively redress the situation.

Does anyone know the address of the organisation that I can complain to? 
Thanks,

Michael Hawkins.

Re: LC 520 system disks

[Greg Pennefather]

Daniel

I have a feeling that someone will suggest you download the system software
from the Apple web site.

An alternative is to order a replacement system CD from MacRabbit at
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~koala1/macrabbit/maccds.html. I checked the
site and they have a LC520 system CD for $15.

Good luck

Cheers

Taken a look at www.mail2web.com ? It works as advertised and in years of
using it I've never had it delete my email erroneously.

Not the first time this has been posted to the list. I'm beginning to think

Ok Matt, then try this bit that I've just frivolously posted to GMUG

"I actually like the cover on the latest Aust MacWorld with the Apple

until it stops spinning to cross safely. Software Update V6.04 removes 
the annoying bug of having the iR-T stop moving before it has started, 
simply to update new windscreen wiper preferences. Now you can drive

Re: iiNet - SPAM and Webmail

[Richard M.]

Hi Kelly and all,

Yes, I've noticed a remarkable increase in the amount of spam over the last
week or so from iiNet.

To add insult to injury, I've found that their Webmail program has a nasty
little bug which deletes email from your inbox when using the "back" button
on the browser.

They have a red disclaimer on most pages about using the "back" button - but
do nothing to remove the button from the screen. Unfortunately this
disclaimer goes away if you view an attachment on-line - when you are forced
to use the back button.

My first report to iiNet support was responded to with a curt "we can't fix
this, just don't use the back button", but I don't believe this is the
correct answer for support to be telling their customers.

I mean, let's face it - the "back" button has been on browsers since Mosaic,
and other web sites generally encourage you to use it - this is a standard
feature on a browser, and it's kind of akin to saying "yea, don't use File,
Quit as it will wipe half the files of your hard disk" ... Pfft, what a
crock of.

I have asked for the location of an alternative version of Webmail, as I'm
anticipating buying a new machine in the near future, and would like to
administer my emails from work so there are not a billion to download when I
configure the machine and finally connect up to the internet.

After suggesting this was a bug - they responded with the fact that it was a
known issue, but there was no ETA on the fix. I outlined my "buying new
machine" scenario as above and asked whether it was anticipated if it would
be rectified prior to this time, and I got another email saying that this
wasn't an outstanding issue 

I'm finding iiNet support very frustrating at the moment - if it's an issue,
why can't they simply spawn a Webmail session in a new window (as they
already do), but remove the navigation tools - particularly if they have
such a destructive property, and disallow right clicking on the page (I
access Webmail from one of those PC things)???

Has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just getting grumpier as I get
older?

Richard

LC 520 system disks

[Daniel Forsdyke]

Hi

I have a friend with an old Mac LC520. At present he can't get it working
so I brought it home to see if I could manage something!!

He was given the LC, but it did not come with its system install disks. It
had been working find for word processing etc, but recently crashed and now
will not start up.

Having tried to start it last night, it currently powers up and sits there
with a flashing question mark on disk image.

First attempt was to tried and boot off my Diskwarrior CD, which has system
7.1 on it. I ended up with the "Sad Mac" logo and sound.

Next attempt was a System 6.0.5 install disk, and then System Tools disk
(6.0.5), which would not work.

I then tried burning System 7.1 onto a CD from the Diskwarrior CD and after
failing to start, I now am unable to eject the CD Caddy to remove the disk!!

I have also tried zapping the PRAM with no change to the flashing "?" mark.

Mactracker states that this particular model only runs on Mac OS 7.1 to
7.6.1, but I have no idea to get this on disk.

Other Mactracker stats are:
Mac LC 520
Motorola 68030, 25mhz
Mother board RAM = 4 MB
Max RAM = 36 MB (don't know how much is in this machine)

My main question/s:

Does anybody have install disks for this computer, or system 7 in general.

Or, does anyone know where I might find them online.

Is there anything else that I could try with the software that I already
have.

I currently have the following:

Emac 700mhz G4 running Mac OS X with CD-RW/DVD-ROM

Powerbook 1400cs running Mac OS 8.1

Powerbook 1400cs running Mac OS 8.6

System 6.0.5 install disks and disk tools

Diskwarrior 2.1 CD with Mac OS 7.1, OS 8.1 and OS 9.1 on disk

Help greatly appreciated!

Microsoft Technology Hits the Road in BMW 7 Series

Microsoft Navigates the Automotive Industry, Enhances the Driver
Experience

Microsoft technology powers the navigation feature used in BMW's
innovative new iDrive telematics system. (Click for high-resolution
image) REDMOND, Wash. -- March 4, 2002 -- Microsoft Corp. today
announced that the BMW 7 Series, the line of cars introduced last month
in the United States, features Microsoftís robust, real-time embedded
operating system, Windows® CE. This announcement comes shortly after
Microsoftís Automotive Business Unit launched Windows CE for Automotive
v3.5, the newest version of its telematics software platform based on
Windows CE, and announced an end-to-end solution to enable the auto
industry to cost-effectively implement and maintain advanced automotive
telematics.

Siemens VDO Automotive AG, the preferred navigation supplier of BMW, is
using the Microsoft® Windows CE operating system in the Control 
Display,

which is part of the innovative BMW iDrive concept. Microsoftís
technology is available to BMW motorists worldwide, delivering an
advanced in-car computing experience.

"When we heard about BMWís telematics vision, we knew the exceptional
quality in Microsoft technology would fit hand-in-hand," said Bob
McKenzie, general manager of Microsoftís Automotive Business Unit. "The
iDrive concept is a unique one, and weíre proud to power the graphical
user interface in the Control Display."

The iDrive concept and the Control Display enable easy operation of, 
and

convenient access to, the myriad of features at the driverís disposal,
including the navigation, telephone, climate control and entertainment
systems. This presents a bold new concept for interaction between the
driver and automobile. The BMW 7 Series was launched in Germany in fall
2001. It is now available in North America and will be available in
other markets this spring.

This is the first of several related announcements to come from
Microsoftís Automotive Business Unit.

SPECIAL ONE
*** Intego Internet Security Barrier Professional Edition ***

This is a new "bundle" product which is just being launched into the 
Mac market. To quote the literature
"97% of users are not aware that their system has been hacked or set 
up to be vandalised. It is crucial that users take precautions to 
protect their valuable details as illegal cyber activities become 
more prominent. It's only natural to want to feel as safe behind your 
computer as you do in your own home. Now you can. Now we have 
affordable solutions to make every computer safe, hacker and voyeur 
resistant."
The suite of four utilities consists of:-
NetBarrier X - Personal firewall featuring anti-vandal and privacy 
functions that defend against intrusion even on wireless networks.
VirusBarrier X - Antivirus protection with an automatic virus and 
software update engine featuring non-intrusive virus scanning 
capabilities.
ContentBarrier X - web content filter that blocks offensive material, 
and allows for multiple user settings and levels of protection.
Personal Backup X - Backs up, restores and synchronises data - even 
clones a Mac OS X start-up volume.
Each of these products retail for $129.95. (A total of $519.80 if 
bought individually.)

*** If you buy it as The Complete Bundle you can purchase it for ONLY 
$299!!! That's over 40% saving!!! ***



SPECIAL TWO
*** 256MB USB Flash Memory Stick ("Thumb Drive") ***
These are the cool little storage devices that you can transfer files 
from Mac to PC and back again. They work in Mac OS 9 and X with no 
drivers and are simply plug and play. Very handy.

(You can also add a drive to this for a very competitive price. Email

SPECIAL FOUR
*** JBL Creature Speakers - 2 Satellites and 1 SubWoofer ***
These are seriously cool speakers made by Harman/Kardon, the same
people that make the SoundSticks and the internal speakers in a lot
of the iMac's. Not only do they look out of sight, but they actually
put out a fairly decent sound too. (I think some of the WAMUG members
would agree to this from tonight's meeting.)
They run off a standard audio jack, so they will work with pretty
much anything, including and not limited to Apple Desktop machines,
laptops, iPod's, walkmans and PC's.

These retail for $299.
*** WAMUG SPECIAL PRICE - $279 *** AVAILABLE NOW!!


SPECIAL FIVE

watch and capture TV! (As well as VCR playback - now you get put your
old home movies on VHS to Disc!
You can pause live television, skip commercials, record your
favourite shows permanently using your CD burner. You name it!
I've had a play with one of these units and they are very good! I've
even record some of it to hard drive if you want to have a look!

The retail on these is $570
*** WAMUG SPECIAL PRICE - $499 *** Available from Tuesday.
(Have a look at one of the many reviews) -




SPECIAL SIX
*** Belkin SurgeMaster II - F5C208z2-TEL3 ***
With all the storm weather coming, now is the time to "protect" your
equipment. (Yes I know this isn't *full* protection, but it's better
than nothing.)
The Belkin SurgeMaster II is a perfect option!
It has 8, yes count them, 8 powerpoints for all your equipment. It
will also take your ADSL or phone line to so as to protect your modem
or any equipment connected via the phone line/ADSL connection. (And
this is the most common way that people blow their modem or other
internal equipment of their machine!)
It is also covered with a lifetime warranty and this particular unit
has an $80,000 cover. This means should your equipment blow up,
melt, get fried from a surge or lightening strike/surge you will be
covered. (Obviously as long as you follow their conditions, but they
are pretty straight forward and not "hoop ju

Netscape Calendar can read/write vCal files and should be available 
for the PC (although only as part of Netscape Professional Edition). 
You might be able to find other PC calendaring programs with vCal 
support


If you had a Palm you could iSync it with iCal and HotSync it with

Other options include Now Up To Date, ,

Re: Free / Cheap Data Base for OSX?

An associate of mine here is trying to create a database of all their
staff (DJs in this case) including all of their "profile" information
based oon their exisiting paper records.

Basic info is name / contact details and about 10 standard questions.
Total staff are about 50.

Anyone recommend a suitable solution under OS X?

I suspect they will ultimately be exporting (not live) the database
to the web so people can read about their staff.


There's always MySQL with PHP, but you need someone who knows what 
they're doing to run it.


Failing that, AppleWorks has a minimal database built in, with the 
advantage that you can export it to FileMaker relatively easily when 
they decide the project is worthwhile enough to spend some money on.


Have fun,

iinet vs. TGP mail server

[Greg Hosking]

Hi all,

a question of curiosity: having recently switched from OS9/entourage to 
OSX/mail.app, one thing annoyed me: despite having mail.app set to 
"remove copy from server after receiving message > right away" on both 
my home & work machines, i still got all emails downloaded on both 
machines when checking mail. (this did not happen with entourage/OS9)


having switched to TPG, this does not happen. (ie if i download an 
email, at work, it doesn't come in when i check at home) Is this 
something to do with the way the respective mail servers handle 
mail.app requests?


just curious

Re: Copy Protection

[Meg Travers]

I am furious with EMI's Copy Control!!

To add insult to injury, my favorite band (Afro Celt Sound System) have just 
released 
a new album. They're on Peter Gabriel's Real World label, but that's 
distributed in 
Australia by Virgin/EMI, so guess what - it's Copy Controlled and apparently 
won't 
play on a Mac.

Apple have a tech note on the problems here:


The band are peeved about this too and this album was in fact recorded on 
Macintoshes. They are asking fans to send emails to their management so they 
can 
take the issue up with EMI, but the reality is, they're pretty small fry.

So, if you're looking to complain about not being able to play a CD, by all 
means 
contact EMI, the ACCC but also get onto the bands website and complain there 
too.

For the record, this disc did work on my 12" powerbook with combo drive running 
OS 
X.2.5. However, it bothers me that it might not play on some CD playing device 
I 
might own in the future. Will I be required to purchase "EMI Approved" or "Sony 
Music 
Approved" CD players in the future? One type for each label that has artists 
that I like 
to listen to? Don't think so.

Rant mode ends...

Cheers,
Meg

Almost free gear

[Vladimir James]

Almost free gear:

Mac LC 10MB RAM (2MB on motherboard); 512KB ROM: 1.44MB SuperDrive; no
keyboard or monitor; worked fine with MacOS 7.5.3 but will require
installation of new OS

Yamaha Powered Multimedia Speakers YST-MS25; 3-unit setup (subwoofer +
left & right);one loose connection requires attention; can be used with
computer, portable CD player or musical keyboard; w/manual; good sound;
seen advertised second hand for around $100

 

Zip drive; 100MB external w/power supply

The catch? No guarantees, no support, and you must take it all. Gear
located in Sawyers Valley; will deliver to Midland. I expect a token $20
for handling and hassles. :-)

If interested, contact me privately.

many providers, such as highway1, provide a 'nightowl' service: log on 
between 6pm & 8am - unlimited time & downloads for $12 or thereabouts.


this is pretty much what you get from iinet for $40 a month anyway, 
plus the bonus chance of connecting during work hours!!
