Games availability?

2003-07-22 Thread Stewart Woods

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any software sellers who yet have a copy of 
either NeverwinterNights, Black  White Creature Isle or Everquest?


Or a 2nd-hand copy of the original BW for Mac?

Thanks in advance

Heya Stewart - I wasn't aware that NeverWinter Nights was available for the mac 
yet. I 
think it's due for release July 30. Everquest was released in June ... not sure 
about the 
others. The Applecentre in Joondalup is often good for games ... Maybe the 
Hawthorn 
shop? I didn't see Everquest or Black  White at NextByte when I there 
yesterday.

P.S. Anyone want to buy a brand new copy of Dungeon Siege? Asking for $60. :)

I'm sure trashing some pref might help but which one? Anybody else
had this problem?

(I'm using OS 10.2.3 )

We had probs with Help, mainly the spinning wheel of frustration.

FS: various old Apple Monitors

2003-07-22 Thread Mark Secker


Spare room clean out of Apple monitors previously advertised in 
UniNews but unsold.



2x 1710 17 Trinitron MultiScan monitors working (+ one suitable 
for parts - power supply arcs) use old style apple display 
connection, no mac to VGA adaptors supplied, (yes we have one but Its 
NFS)


1xAudioVision 14 Trinitron 640 by 480 Apple AV connector (status 
unknown as it came to us with no connection adaptor... I could 
probably rummage one up though)


reasonable offers accepted (even unreasonable offers will be entertained).

Bank scam!!!!

2003-07-22 Thread Severin Crisp
This afternoon, I received an email purportedly from my bank, Wespac, 
informing me of new security arrangements and urging me to login to 
the given URL and reenter my details. Given rumours circulating on 
scams like this the warning bells sounded, in addition, the URL, 
wespac.com.au/index... included /index which is not in the normal 
logon URL. A check with Wespac revealed that this is indeed a scam 
email BE WARNED
A login to that URL in fact takes you to an exact copy of the Wespac 
welcome page but once your login details are entered your money has 
gone!!
All take note, my guess is that all banks are being targeted

2003-07-22 Thread Severin Crisp
Sorry, my Freudian(?) slip, drawn to my attention by Westnet. In 
fact the URL in the email was wespac.com./index which is a 
non-Australian address

Severin Crisp



Hi Severin,

Thanks

I don't use Westpac except on very odd occasions
but I thought I might just look at your SCAM page.

Interestingly I cannot get to it from here at this time.

wespac.com.au/index shows as no such page,
wespac.com.au gives a Bin Handling company in South Australia

and westpac with the T westpac.com.au seems to go to the Westpac
Banking home site.


On th odd occasions I do go to Westpac I go to URL below
which seems tp be the right location at the moment.
We have no money in that account anyway.

Are you sure you didn't mean westpac.com? Note the t in Westpac. 
Strangely it looks like a legitimate business site, it's possible 
there was a different URL disguised into the original message they 
sent you. Another good reason not to use HTML e-mail :)

[For Sale] Various items

2003-07-22 Thread Larry Pohl
Hi all

I'm undertaking a reorganisation of my home office setup and I have a few
pieces I no longer require.

1. Monitor. Samsung 955 DF 19 Flat screen. I've been running this on a G4
Mac at 1280 x 1024 and it's quite nice. About a year old. Asking $390.

2. Monitor. Likom N705 17 Flat screen. This has been my second monitor -
less than a year old. Asking $190.

3. Modem. 3Com U.S. Robotics 56 K Faxmodem. This is a top of the line
external 56 K modem. Asking $90.

4. Pentium 233 MMX computer. A good little machine that's been used as a
satellite link and router. It has a 10 GB HD, 192 MB ram, Ethernet card,
CD-ROM, USB etc. Comes with 3 button mouse, keyboard and Philips 15 VGA
monitor. Currently running Linux RedHat 7.1 and is a good Linux box. Or I
can throw in a Windows 98 SE full install CD  Manual if wanted. Asking
$425. This is a lot cheaper than Virtual PC and believe me, it's quicker.

5. Canon B150 Plain paper Fax machine (inkjet). Sends fine but paper feeder
is acting up so it doesn't print a received fax automatically. Asking $50
ONO.

Regards

S-Video to composite adapter

Hi...

I've managed to misplace my S-Video to composite adapter, which is 
really annoying. Does anyone know a source of them locally? Ideally 
an Apple one (they look cooler :)


If you don't know what one looks like there's a picture here...

Mime attachments

2003-07-22 Thread Peter Sealy
I guess that this plagues everyone at some time or other. A PC wielding 
friend sends me emails with attachments I can not open. They are mime 
attachments. One is mime type-image/jpeg and another is mime type 
image/gif. I am using Apple's mail.app on OS X 10.2.6. I have tried 
Stuffit Expander, Graphic Converter and a few other graphic image apps 
. I have asked her to not send as a mime attachment but she just resent 
it as the image/gif. It is a letter type of communication which she has 
just dropped into her email and it is not an alternative to simply type 
out the letter in the email body. This is a person who does not know 
how to spell Apple let alone know how to communicate with one, other 
than simple email! And no, a solution is not to dump this very long 
standing friend of the family.
So, how can I open mime attachments? I have looked at the list archives 
but found nothing or was not searching correctly.

Thanks
