Re: Data storage.

Hi Wamuggers

System Mac OS X 10.2.6  Apple Mail

How do I find out where a programme is storing it's data?  To be 
more specific 'Mail ' tells me  that "There was a failure while 
writing to the disk. The disk may be full. The mailbox will be 
restored to its state before compaction."  and I cannot find a 
'full' disc.


Mac OS X may start claiming things are full when you've still got 200Mb free.

Mac OS X really doesn't like it when your disk is really full. It 
starts forgetting preferences and crashing/stalling sporadically.


Have fun,
Shay

Rosemary,
I have had good results The Analogue Ripper to put my vinyl LPs to CD. It is 
not fancy but is easy to use, but you cannot do any manipulation to remove 
pops and crackle. It is shareware. Google "Analogue Ripper" (It's british!).

Hi Severin

I've sometimes found the way to solve this is actually use this folder to
hard boot back into 9, then when I reboot back to OSX I can then select it
from the System Preference Classic Panel.

This has solved it on a few clients machines I've worked on that had the
same thing.

Give it a go and hopefully it will work!

Classic System Folder

[Severin Crisp]

I have two versions of OS9.2.2 on my hard disk one of which is pared 
down for Classic and the other has a few more goodies and is used as 
a boot System for OS9.2.2.  I now want to set this as the System for 
Classic.  It is recognised in "Set Startup" and its icon shows a "9" 
yet it is not recognized as a possible startup system from the 
Classic Preferences panel where you select the system for Classic to 
use.  I notice also that on the HD it does not show the "9" on the 
folder whereas the other one selected for Classic, does.  As far as I 
can see all the necessary bits for Classic Support are the same on 
both systems.

What is the answer to this, please?
Severin Crisp
The reason for this problem is that I so rarely use Classic that I 
want to junk the existing Classic system but am not game to do it in 
the hopes that the other one will then be recognised!

Re: Moniters and Flat Panel iMacs

[Martin Hill]

I should stress, this is only good if you have a Mac that qualifies 
(has the right video card) - if your iMac has a 15" flat screen 
rather than a 17", don't try this software as it could stuff up your 
monitor firmware settings.

Re: Spam Legalities

[Mark Secker]

Hi all,

This is slightly off topic however I remember a while
back where a spammer from a "Biomedic Therapies"



OK... if these are the same as we've been receiving then they are 
probably been sent via a worm similar to so-big.


the addresses in the from field are not the people sending them just 
people you have a degree or two of separation from  - so there's no 
point sending the e-mail back to them because it's not only not them 
that sending it but it's not even there machine that's infected with 
the e-mail worm.



NEVER -EVER click on the unsubscribe or opt out -you will  end up 
with more spam because this is 99% of the time used to ensure that 
the hashed or guessed address (yours) is real and there for it's like 
the computer says "hey we have a live one" and this address will be 
flagged for more spam.


They had on one of the ABC national shows an interview with some spam 
research people who set up a mail server with some dummy accounts 
that were never used (never sent mail never received mail) and with 
in days these mailboxes were been flood with spam, when they 
contacted the spammer (a known spammer who sends about 80 _million_ 
spam emails a day) he swore scouts honor that each and every single 
one of the account's users had signed up or "opted in" to receive 
these messages. When the researchers used the dummy accounts to 
select the "opt out" option they simply ended up with a massive 
increase in spam rather than a decrease.

Spam Legalities

[Kelly Duffy]

Hi all,

This is slightly off topic however I remember a while
back where a spammer from a "Biomedic Therapies"
business harvested the groups email addresses. I also
remember a few people on the list were researching
spam and working towards finding ways to prevent it
and all that. I can't remember who those people are
and given that it was quite a while ago I don't want
to bother anyone offlist if they don't want to worry
about it now.

I am having issues with spam, I know a lot of people
suffer this everyday, but I recieved about 14 emails
from different people for the same company in about 4
days. Its the only spam I get and its very annoying,
its for a drug company that offers you prescription
medication over the internet without seeing a doctor. 

None of the spammers had unsubscribe type links,
understandable seeing as its hopefully only a one off,
and the website that claims that none of this was
unsolicited has a link to a form where you can report
a spammer if you think it was, however none of the
forms seemed to work for me. It could be a Mac problem
I suppose but the whole business seems dodgy. 

If there is anyone out there who knows about spam,
laws regarding it and can give me some advice
regarding it, I'd really like to talk to someone off
list about how they gather addresses and what can be
done, legal issues that the company could face and
things like that. Its something I'd like to do
something about.

Thanks for bothering with my rant.
Kelly

What a great bunch of folk!

[Brad Helden]

Many thanks to all those who replied to my request for OS8. I will 
soon contact one of you for a copy.


One thing I like about this group is that people try to help each 
other - many thanks.


Cheers,

Brad

Re: DVD player to view on G3 powerbook?

[Martin Hill]

Ha!  As Rod has picked up (thanks Rod) I've just re-read your post 
Robert, and I now realise you actually seem to want to view DVDs 
played on your DVD player on your PowerBook's screen  - is that 
correct?!


If so, then as you've probably now guessed, the S-Video plug on the 
back of your Powerbook is for going in the other direction.  If you 
want to capture video INTO your powerbook, you'd need a video capture 
device such as:

- the Capsure PC-card video-in device
- a USB video-in device like the XLR8 Interview
Both of which will only capture at a maximum resolution of around 384 x 288

As the Lombard doesn't have a Firewire port, you can't use that 
option unless you get a Firewire PC card (and analog-firewire 
converter like the Canopus ADVC).


I've used all of the options above to capture video in the past with 
my old Lombard but they all cost.

Open Source course management software...

[Shay Telfer]

From :

Moodle 1.1 is an open source course management system for creating 
online courses. It includes site, course, and student management 
functions, assignments with due dates and timestamps, forums, poll 
and survey functions, journals, and more. The new version adds a new 
backup and restore system for courses, a workshop module for peer 
grading, a chat module, a new course manager for handling large 
numbers of courses, and other improvements. Moodle is free for Mac 
OS X, Linux/Unix, Windows, and any system that supports PHP.




I notice Martin Dougiamas' name featured prominently :)

Have fun,
Shay

Re: DVD player to view on G3 powerbook?

[Mark Secker]

OK lets assume that this is "I have a DVD player in my PowerBook and 
I want to play them through to my external screen device (TV all in 
one entertainment system etc etc)"


Sout = S out = S-Video out = this is a video out output that uses 
"S-Video (mini DIN) plug"


Video: S-out you use the supplied (or if lost purchased from dick 
smith tandy) Svideo to RCA video adaptor
Audio: stereo minipin audio jack  to RCA (stereo if external supports 
it mono otherwise)


plug'em in, turn on TV or external device, turn on computer. by 
default S-vido out mirrors the main screen but you can arrange it 
just like a standard monitor (from recollection)...
Note that you can't run it through a VCR recorder first - IT must go 
directly to the TV/ display device (else you get the Macrovision 
Protection effect - this may be the squigly lines your talking 
about). - If you have an all in one TV/VCR you'll probably find your 
stuck unless you rip the DVD to hard disk with a program that removes 
the Macrovision protection and then play the ripped files through the 
unit - still don't expect anything special quality wise.

Re: DVD player to view on G3 powerbook?

[Martin Hill]

It's been a while since I last used my old Lombard for outputting to a TV.

To get any Mac to display on a TV (if it is a model with the option 
(which the Lombard is)), you need to plug the Mac into the video-out 
destination first and then either wake up or turn on the Mac.  If it 
is connected properly, the Mac will sense an external monitor and 
then display on the device.  As the Lombard supports extended desktop 
mode, you should also get the TV appearing as an extra screen in the 
Monitors control Panel (under the Arrange section).  You will also 
then get extra resolutions available to you for that screen such as 
PAL 640x480 or NTSC 800 x 600 etc.


Make sure you choose something like PAL 640 x 480 first - you may 
also get the option to do overscan or underscan try either of those.


Are you plugged straight into the composite video-in plug on the TV 
(little yellow RCA plug) or into a VCR which then goes into the TV? 
You need to make sure the VCR and/or TV are set to receive video on 
whatever channel it is plugged into (AV1 or AV2 or similar)
