Hi Brett (and others)

Pricing for the new G5 is as follows:-

PMG5
1.6GHz
256MB/80GB /SuperDrive
$3599

PMG5
1.8GHz
512MB/160GB/superDrive
$4499

PMG5
2GHz Dual Processor
512MB/160GB/SuperDrive
$5599

It's not up on the Apple Web Site as yet, but I rang and got it the other day.

Apparently they won't be available until Late July/August.

(I wonder whether the SuperDrive will be the A05 or the new Pioneer A06)

Hope that helps!

Kind Regards
Daniel Kerr

Griffin iMic

2003-06-26 Thread Antony N. Lord

Anyone know where I can buy a Griffin iMic here in Perth or even Australia?

I have a user here with a 300MHz iBook that would like to be able to 
record some audio.


Given they are US$35 from their site it might cheaper to just have 
them post one I guess...


Cheers, Antony.

A good book on OS X

2003-06-26 Thread J Philippe Chaperon
Dear WAMUGers,

For those who want to have an indepth knowledge of Mac OS X, I highly
recommend the book by John and William C. Ray - Mac OS X Unleashed. It has
got a very good section on Unix, and also enough details on the architecture
of the OS for those interested.

I bought the book at Angus & Robertson where its price was marked down from
$109.95 to $40.00, and although it covers version 10.1 (and not Jaguar), the
basics are still the same. In my humble opinion this is a good buy, and its
possible that the Geleria-Morley shop may still have some copies available.

Hope this can help someone.

Regards,



Philippe C.

If you've got a US source that you can get them through that then do it.
I've has as high as $165 from NextByte and the more normal but still insane
price of $130 other places.



Executing tasks when modem detects ring

2003-06-26 Thread Matt Huitson

Hi All,

I'm looking into setting up some automated processes (applescripts) to 
will fire off when the modem on my OSX box detects a ring. At this 
stage I'm not having much luck tracking down information on how to link 
them to the ring detection. If anyone can direct me to any OSX 
software, or better yet, an applescript which executes something when 
the modem detects a ring I'd be most appreciative.


Cheers, Matt.

Help with Photoshop please

2003-06-26 Thread KEVIN Lock

Hi,

I am using Photoshop 5.0.2 on an eMac and am fairly familiar with it.

I have a problem with a couple of the tools not functioning well. 
The Rubber Stamp (cloning) tool and the smudge finger seem to have 
lost the will to do the job. I cannot see a way of increasing the 
opacity. On both tools the setting is 100%, but the results are very 
poor.



Any ideas before I reload the who program?

TIA

Kevin

For starters, before your try reloading the whole program, just try deleting
Photoshop's preferences file(s) -- might be enough to reset the tool
settings.

Other than that, try setting the Effect Mode of the tool to "Normal", and
make sure the Brush is of a decent size and style (there are some brushes
that are almost invisible/effectless). Not much else I can think of I'm
afraid... Sounds like a very annoying problem!

Good luck,

Ry

2003 WWDC Streaming - standalone?

2003-06-26 Thread Ryan Jay Schotte
Does anyone know of either a standalone version of the recent WWDC Keynote
rebroadcast, or of a program that will record a RTSP stream to a file?

I can't believe Apple doesn't make this sort of thing readily available. I
watched the whole keynote last night (over 250MB on a 300kbps stream), but
I'd like to show it to a few people who aren't fortunate enough to have
ADSL. In particular a friend who is a PC-user, but is rather impressed by
what OS X 10.2 is capable of. (Myself, I was quite suitably impressed by
what was demoed of Panther! Been wanting concurrent logged-in users
forever...)

I don't think Apple would mind me saving it either for this, since their
warning about needing permission to redistribute their recording only
applied to the Internet.

I did find a PC program capable of downloading RTSP streams, but it seemed
to break somewhat in Virtual PC. :(

Anyone?

Exactly the same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I pulled 
out the machine again the other day and it was still doing it. I think 
maybe the motherboard has died - I know that certain systems like the 
Mac IIci's had capacitors on the circuit boards that all started 
failing a couple of years back. None of those machines work anymore.


I hope I'm wrong, because I really loved my SE/30 too.

PC format CDs and Virtual PC - Again

2003-06-26 Thread Diana & Graham Stevens
After a year I have now managed to get a replacement of my 1891 
Census CD. It arrived damaged but I am assured it was OK when it 
left. It also had a customs declaration which was missing when I got 
it. It was opened by Australia Post for Customs Inspection by someone 
who left greasy finger prints on the case; on the CD a long hair, 
several bits of junk and a scratch right across the surface, which to 
me looks like deliberate damage.


I cleaned off the junk and tried it. The G4 can see it and open it 
but VPC does not see it. I burned a copy which works like a charm, 
the program runs fast. [The copy I made of the previous CD, which had 
a deep cut, ran very slowly].


Can anyone suggest why this is happening? These two are the only PC 
CDs I have ever tried which do not work normally with VPC.


Could it be a glitch in my CD drive? I have a G4 Quicksilver 933 MHz, 
512 M RAM in OS 9.2.2 with a DVD-R, CD-RW. I got the update for the 
CD driver but later I wiped the system partition and re-installed 
9.2.2. When I updated the system the CD update was on the list but 
when I tried to run it I was told it had already been done.


I did have one other CD problem, a box of CDs which the G4 just spat 
out. This box was several years old so I just assumed they had 
deteriorated.
