Pop-Server problem.

[Malcolm McCallum]

Hi all
I have a G3 acting as a server to other Macs. All has been going well 
until recently it has started bringing up a message saying the mail 
could not be downloaded because -- The server error encountered was : 
The connection to the server "pop-server" on port 110 timed out. Can 
some tell me how to stop this happening please.

Yes, Safari on some pages seems to fail to recognise button clicks on
form buttons, possibly due to some JavaScript interaction that Safari
doesn't fully support.

I wonder if the pages HTML is valid. Can you open it in iCab and 
check?


A commercial page with valid HTML? Have you ever found one, Shay?  ;-)

The uwa webct "compose message" page throws the following errors:

Curiously, though, Safari (v85) posts a message just fine on UWA's 
WebCT
from here. There's either something different about Curtin's version, 
or

something different about Ruben's system. Odd that IE doesn't work for
him either. Here, both IE and Safari work, but Icab can't post (though
it views the pages just fine).

UWA webct page says "Version 3.8 Campus Edition"
Curtin's webct page, whilst it looks different, also proclaims itself 
to

be version 3.8

In summary: This wasn't terribly helpful, was it? I have no idea 
what's

going on, either; just providing datapoints.

There is also the point that I used to be able to post messages on 
WebCT.  So something has had to have changed in order to cause my 
problem.

I will try the HTML check with iCab soon when I can find the time.

Update:

VPC 6.1 has now appeared on the Apple Oz site:

Bare VPC 6.1   -   AUD $299
VPC 6.1 + WinXP Home   -   AUD $449
VPC 6.1 + WinXP Pro-   AUD $499


Compared with US price/AUD equiv(@65c/$)/AU%premium

Bare VPC 6.1   -   US$129/AUD$198/+50%
VPC 6.1 + WinXP Home   -   US$219/AUD$337/+33%
VPC 6.1 + WinXP Pro-   US$249/AUD$383/+30%

I guess the 30% to 50% premium is what we've come to expect for US/AU price
comparisons. Of more interest at the moment, Peder Kristensen pointed out to
me that:

> Microsoft now have three versions of the

On checking at the MS US Mac site, sure enough:

Office Academic -   US$149/AUD$229 equiv
Office Standard -   US$399/AUD$613 equiv
Office Std (upgrade)-   US$239/AUD$367 equiv
Office Professional -   US$499/AUD$767 equiv
Office Pro (upgrade)-   US$329/AUD$506 equiv

and Office pro does, indeed include VPC6.1 + WinXP Pro

This seems to be a significant saving
(US$149 on item total of US$(249+399=648)

Unfortunately, I can't see an equivalent on the Apple Oz site and, in fact,
Office OSX alone is listed at AUD $999 ($619 upgrade).

So - to get the equivalent functionality to the new Office pro
(US$499/AUD$767 equiv) here would be $499+$999=$1498 (ie ~ 95% more)

One would hope that the equivalent product would be offered here? Hopefully
at less than AUD$1000 (or 30% above US price equivalent) anybody out there
heard anything confirming/denying this?

Also, is it possible to buy the US product and will it work OK with Oz
systems.

Cheers

Neil

Modem Problems

[Adam Lippiatt]

Hello

Just wondering if you can help with the following.  Correspondent has been
using 10.2.6 for a short while with no problems and then the modem ceased
working.

Thanks

For sale: Mac bits

I wish to sell a SCSI Iomega external Zip Drive with 7 100mb discs. 
Also an Apple ColorOnescanner (large but good) also SCSI from my now 
little-used 5300.  Both items have had very little use, esp. the Zip 
drive.


Best offer will take them away.


regards

Kevin
