Far be it from me to rush to the aid of IInet in any way but the fridge analogy could be closer to the mark than at first suspected :-) The helpdesk guy could have been referring to Earth Leakage which can do strange things to your phone line and your power supply But NOT with an Earth leakage Residual current device in your house. All new houses are supposed to have them and smart people in older houses Get them installed. You get Earth Leakage you have NO power, the protector disconnects it until you fix it. I know Xmas eve with full fridge and wire contacts earth in the fridge cabinet.. All power points off ! That's quite a possibility for any fridge because they have heater wires ( Yes ! I did say heater wires ) to defrost various parts of the cabinet. These wires occasionally get a git of moisture through the insulation and corrode away. If you have a big block of ice that develops regularly in a corner of your fridge the chances are that your fridge's heater wire is open circuit. Have fun Bob Very interesting. I am another one of those who has nearly always had trouble with iinet. I think it got going after the wantree take over. But here's another weird experience - connected? I have a 1kW PV array that supplies the electricity to the house via a TRACE inverter during the day. That has never worked entirley free of trouble ( a bit like iinet) Trouble is Trace are in Seattle and they aren't sure where Australia is. In summer, the system works reasonably well. As soon as it rains, the darn thing runs on at night when its not supposed to, consuming electricity. Before last winter started, I had reason to worry about the earth link of the house, situated way away from the water taps. ( the house is 5 years old) I watered the link for a day. Bingo. Inverter problem came back next night. NO ONE knows why. Bill

Re: AutoStart CD
Hi all, I've found that the Autostart is a simple text document, but must point directly to an .exe file. For example a Director projector or a program that will Autorun. Unfortunately you cannot simply point to a html file or the like.

notes in OS 8.6 files readable in Os X ?
I have often written notes in a file ( get info) dialogue box when using OS 8.6, which include version number, web address if it has one, or what I did with the file ie issued to client etc are these readable when OS X , from I can gather they disappear. And if not anyone got any suggestions on how to recover that information when in OSX note this also occurs when downloading a file for instance I downloaded safari when in OS 8.6 and got the http://a1408.g.akamai.net/7/1408/1388/20030623/akamai.info.apple.com/Safari/SBML/061-0606.20030623.Xsd54R/Safari.dmg in the comments box but don't get this if download whilst in OsX . or is it located somewhere unseen? chow -- Gary Dorn Permaculture architect Thooggoorrbu Trust Designers of Sustainable Human Settlements
Re: Fwd: 6310i Bluetooth
Caught between the devil and the less attractive options aren't we ? I have a BMW with a factory Bluetooth phone kit. New car came with a 6310i which works so well it hurts (to think of using any other car solution). Pity the Apple connection isn't the same ! Some of the new phones such as the SE T800 which are Apple happy don't work with the BMW. Even other Nokia's don't work properly. So, although I would like a nicer phone, I am stuck with the 6310i for a while. Mind you seeing the phone car integration is worth it. The car pairs with the phone upon startup (while in your pocket) and transfers the phone book to the car. You select names from the address book via the in dash monitor or the LED display under the speedo (with steering wheel buttons). When the phone rings the stereo mutes, and monitor shows Caller ID or the name from the address book. There is a place to put the phone to charge it (and get better reception with the aerials) if you remember to take it out of your pocket. Bluetooth in this setting is great.

And if not anyone got any suggestions on how to recover that information when in OSX The comments field in the Finder's Get Info window in OS X should contain the same notes as under OS 9 (I have not verified this as I don't have any files I can definitely say I downloaded under OS 9) note this also occurs when downloading a file for instance I downloaded safari when in OS 8.6 and got the http://a1408.g.akamai.net/7/1408/1388/20030623/akamai.info.apple.com/Safari/SBML/061-0606.20030623.Xsd54R/Safari.dmg in the comments box but don't get this if download whilst in OsX . or is it located somewhere unseen? This URL is put into the comments field by the browser you use to dowload the file. I think IE used to do it under Mac OS 9, but it no longer seems to do so under OS X. Safari doesn't either.

Re: [Humour] for the nerds
Beat this: when I used to cut code one of my then managers used to use go-to's in Cobol report writer... and the code between the go-to condition and the go-to point was basically fluff to up his line of code per day count. über-coder? über-bonus scammer more like it. if you know Report Writer you know what I mean if you don't it's an extremely simple, mostly sequential, script like language derived from Cobol where there is very little conditional testing - and that's usually a single do until EOF (end of file).

G5 In Stores When?
Anyone know when the G5's are expected in store (i.e. off the shelf) around the place? I notice the top end dual processor machine still has a build time of 4-6 weeks on the Apple Store. Are people (who pre-ordered the G5) taking delivery yet? And any rumors as to when / if David Jones and Harris Technologies will be stocking the beasts? Just curious Cheers, Antony. -- == == = = Antony N. Lord = http://antonylord.com = = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Perth, Western Australia = == = ==
