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

Thanks,

Michael Hawkins.


Not sure if this is what you mean but the general complaint authority 
for ISP difficulties is the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman 
[TIO]. I made a complaint to them a couple years ago about an ISP 
which failed to deliver the services which it had contracted and which 
had consistently refused to respond to my complaints to them. My 
complaint was upheld and I received a refund of fees paid to the ISP. 
Of course I then had to sign up with another ISP but that proved 
providential actually. You also have the satisfaction that if you win 
your case the ISP has to pay all the costs of the TIO in investigating 
your complaint. If you wish to get details of how I handled this let me 
know off list. Sorry I don't have the address/phone of the TIO to hand 
but try the White Pages. A phone call before putting pen to paper is 
recommended. Alternatively another email to your current ISP 
threatening to refer the matter to the TIO may help.

Re: Default mail on IE 5.2.1

Thank you Peter.
I reinstalled Eudora and then applied the System Preferences routine 
followed by the Explorer Preferences routine and it all worked like a 
charm. Your blood is worth bottling!

Try System Preferences > Internet > Email tab > Default Email Reader.
If Eudora 5.2.1 does not already show in the popup menu use the
Choose... option to locate it on your hard drive.

Re: LC 520 system disks

[Bob Howells]

Daniel,

AS well as having an appropriate System... 7.1 to 7.5 should work,
You MUST have the right System Enabler,
which is probably why you were not able to get something else working.
Check below !

Cheers

Bob


ABOUT SYSTEM ENABLERS

To work properly, your computer may need a special piece of software called a
System Enabler. Most new Macintosh computers introduced since September, 1992
require a System Enabler. The System Enabler contains everything that is
needed to support a new computer (or computers). Use the information below to
determine which System Enabler your computer needs (if it needs one at all).

---

Macintosh IIvi — System Enabler 001
Macintosh IIvx — System Enabler 001
Macintosh LC III — System Enabler 003
Macintosh LC 475 — System Enabler 065

Macintosh Color Classic — System Enabler 401

Re: template/stationary in Mail.app - solution

[Greg Hosking]

Cheers Keith!

this is super-cool, thoroughly recommended.

for those interested, it has a separate editor for creating templates 
complete with 'auto' content inserts - eg: automatically adding 
name/address etc of reply recipients.

Re: Itunes 4 buggy?

[Dark Servant]

I'm running iTunes 4 on OS X.2.6 with a G4/400SP and it works like a 
charm. No problems at all.


Has anyone else experienced problems where the song name and elapsed 
time
info at the top of the player in Tunes gets frozen along with the 
progress
indicator? And when you play another song, the last song when it got 
frozen

still displays.

Using iTunes 4 on OSX 10.2.6 with G4/450SP.

Workaround is to quit and reopen.

Re: Mail Keychain

[Dark Servant]

Yeah I wrote that before connecting to the net. The computer was 
unplugged last night due to the storm (modem unplugged too). So I 
guess that's what caused it to lose time data. I don't bother manually 
putting time in. Instead I use the network time sync.


Ruben A. Franke

incase you hadn't noticed it looks like you need to correc the date 
and time

too

RE: Copy Protection

[Dark Servant]

I'm sure that if they keep this up someone will create some shareware 
that bypasses their protection software (if this hasn't been done 
already).
If I were in your position I would share that music with as many 
people as possible in order to render their copy protection software 
useless.

Complaints also are a good idea like you suggested.

Ruben A. Franke



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

Although my Ti laptop wasn't able to play it, my Cube quite happily
read it in iTunes and I was able to rip it to AIFF files, which I

burned to an uncontaminated CD which she could listen to.

It funny that all the EMI copy protection succeeds in doing, is
annoying the paying customer.

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

I have the beginnings of the FAQ Onno and I put together a while
