Subject: New! BigPond Broadband Cable Login available now

Dear BigPond Member

BigPond Broadband is happy to announce that new connection software  
for BigPond Broadband Cable is available now.


The new software is called BigPond Broadband Cable Login and has been  
developed by Telstra Research Laboratories Broadband E-Lab.  It has  
been designed to replace Amicus Launchpad, the connection software  
previously supplied with your BigPond Broadband Cable service.


BigPond Broadband encourages you to upgrade to BigPond Broadband Cable  
Login now.  To download the new software, please visit  
http://www.bigpond.com/broadband/support/downloads/cableclientupdate/


Please note: Downloading the new Cable Login from the BigPond  
Broadband website is unmetered and will not count against your monthly  
usage allowance.


BigPond Broadband Cable Login has new features including:

- Auto-reconnection if the connection to BigPond Broadband is lost
- Optional integration with the BigPond Toolbar (for more information  
on the BigPond Toolbar please visit  
http://www.bigpond.com/helpcentre/toolbar/)
- A connection log-file and improved error messages to make it easier  
to solve connection problems
- Improved useability and integration with Windows and Macintosh  
operating systems

- Advanced options to help customers that use firewalls.

We expect the transition to the new software to be quite  
straightforward.  If you need our assistance, technical support for  
BigPond Broadband Cable Login will be available from BigPond Technical  
Support from October 1.


For online support and additional information about the launch of  
BigPond Broadband Cable Login, please visit  
http://bigpond.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bigpond.cfg/php/enduser/ 
std_alp.php?p_prod_lvl1=3p_search_text=BBCableLogin


BigPond Broadband will be withdrawing customer end-user licences for  
Amicus Launchpad on November 9.  We request that you delete or destroy  
any copies of the Amicus Launchpad software after the 9th of November.


As a result of this change, Technical Support for Amicus Launchpad  
will no longer be provided from that time and support will only be  
available to customers using BigPond Broadband Cable Login.


If you need further information on the withdrawal of end-user licences  
for Amicus Launchpad, please review the Frequently Asked Questions

These emails were allegedly sent to all Telstra support staff on Monday and 
Tuesday of this week.

Sent to all Support Staff 
Tuesday14th October 2003 


Good afternoon all, 


As per 's previous email yesterday, we are very much aware of the 
current Telstra Email issues and we offer you our appreciation and gratitude 
for the way you have all banded together in the past few weeks to deal with the 
obvious customer dissatisfaction. 


Telstra are also very much aware of the impacts on our CSR's and are extremely 
committed to addressing the current Email issue - to which they have had their 
technical staff working around the clock to ensure that the issue is resolved. 
Yesterday they released several customer updates on the Email issue, throughout 
their various press and media avenues. As such please find below a brief 
summary of the Telstra press release - 


The backdrop to the recent email delays is that Telstra has seen an unexpected 
spike in traffic on our email network - in fact a 20 per cent spike. The extra 
traffic load on our email network should not affect Internet access. 


The capacity issue is now under control. Telstra is increasing capacity on the 
email network to put the traffic load issues behind us. A number of manual 
approaches have been put in place so that customers can continue to send and 
receive email. Telstra's technical staff have been working around the clock to 
ensure that mail is delivered. 


Importantly, customers have always had a working email service. However, some 
customers might notice a delay in receiving email or see intermittent time 
outs. We believe that other ISPs have grappled with traffic load issues in the 
last week. Some of the traffic load issues have not been unique to Telstra. 


They have also provided us with a more in-depth update on the current situation 
and their approved scripting for us to use when dealing with Email affected 
customers. The approved scripting and Email update has been communicated to all 
staff via a series of desk drops, handouts, posters and there will also be 
staff meetings over the next day. 


As such please see your Team Leader if you have not received a copy of the 
staff handout or approved scripting, before commencing your next shift. 


Again, thank you for your support and assistance during these difficult times, 
as it is greatly appreciated by everyone.

STAFF BRIEF - BIGPOND EMAIL PERFORMANCE ISSUES 


BACKGROUND 


The backdrop to the recent email delays is that Telstra has seen an unexpected 
spike in traffic on our email network - in fact a 20 per cent spike. 


The extra traffic load on our email network should not affect Internet access. 


The capacity issue is now under control. Telstra is increasing capacity on the 
email network to put the traffic load issues behind us. 


A number of manual approaches have been put in place so that customers can 
continue to send and receive email. Telstra's technical staff have been working 
around the clock to ensure that mail is delivered. 


Importantly, customers have always had a working email service. However, some 
customers might notice a delay in receiving email or see intermittent time 
outs. 


We believe that other ISPs have grappled with traffic load issues in the last 
week. Some of the traffic load issues have not been unique to Telstra. 


CUSTOMER MESSAGES 


While it's important to note that the email service is not and has not been 
down, we acknowledge that the performance has not been up to scratch for our 
customers. 


We accept that customers are simply not satisfied. Telstra is of course 
concerned and our technical people have been working around the clock to keep 
the service working. 


Telstra understands that our email service is not meeting customers' 
expectations. We are doing all we can to ensure that a working service is 
maintained and that mail is not lost. Telstra staff have worked to ensure that 
the service has been stable. Our priority is to maintain a working service and 
not to make hasty decisions which could have seen some data lost. 


The surge in traffic comes after August was confirmed the worst month on record 
for viruses and worms. While we have not had any new worms or viruses 
confirmed, we believe that we could be seeing a residual impact from previous 
malicious sources traversing global networks.

Re: Entourage

2003-10-16 Thread Paul Caroline van der Mey

I'm no database expert by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm specifying two databases at work and Access is the tool we have.
The person helping me out has programming and large database support 
experience and pointed out there are better tools out there, especially 
for when the data base grows fairly large. Something to do with the 
encapsulation of the data within the (one?) file.


I think Access may be one of those things Mac people want because it is 
not available rather than for what it specifically does, and of course 
having to deal with data stored in that format at times.


We have used a database report writing tool called Crystal Reports 
(Windows http://www.crystaldecisions.com/, not sure if there is a Mac 
equivalent) that is more intuitive and flexible than the Access interface.


I have a copy of 4D at home on my Mac and have got as far as the 
tutorial, long way to go for me yet, but I have things in this area I'd 
like to achieve.

Paul

Yes. No. I dunno. I'll have a look at it, but it's going have to be 
brilliant to be better than Jamie Curmie's Launch! effort. Somehow I 
don't think it will, especially after reading though the specs. I'll 
say one thing though - if it asks for an Administrator password when

appropriate substitutes so you can get rid of AppleWorks all together?



On my computer, Office is used primarily as a (expensive!) file reader. 
I have little need to use it as a creation tool. I actually persevered

trying to make all my decisions for me I gave it away out of sheer

The AppleWorks WP has everything I need, doesn't try to second-guess me 
all the time, and simply does what it's told.


I do think AW's other modules need serious work, though. The 
Spreadsheet needs to support multiple sheets, the database - well I 
haven't got enough time.


Since I use FileMaker Pro to earn a living, I have no use for the AW 
database anyway, but it's not too bad as a simple list manger. The 
graphics tools also need a lot of work, but having said that, as a 
Filemaker solutions developer I think there is no better tool on the 
planet for making Filemaker graphic buttons than the Draw/Paint combo 
in AppleWorks.

If you don't see it, choose Use the Office Assistant from the Help

the Assistant window and choose Choose Assistant... from the

Appletalk printing nightmare :)

2003-10-16 Thread Luke Brown

Hey all,

Im trying re-enable a computer to use appletalk, it has been working 
fine for months now.


All of a sudden im getting an appletalk disabled in system preferences 
error. When re-enabling the appletalk on the ethernet interface im 
getting an error that only one port can be configured.


Problem is, there is no other port, the iMac has only Internal Modem 
(which has been disabled in Active network ports) and the ethernet 
interface.


Ive also tried the machine on other subnets (other computers on the same 
subnet however have no atalk problems) Ive tried setting up a completely 
new location with appletalk switched on and moving to that location. Ive 
even tried the old opt-apple-p-r trick.


Any ideas on how I can convince this box that there really is no other 
network adapter? :)

Hi Susan and Others,

FileMaker Pro is a good substitute for Access. I have seen some wonderful
databases done in Filemaker, but Peter could confirm whether Access is more
'powerful' or has more features.

Also, for those who have only Office for the Mac, Excel can be used as a
data base. By creating 'Lists' and using Data Forms a fairly full featured
flat-file database can be created. I doubt whether it has relational
capabilities though.

 completely removed AppleWorks? If so have you done away with the idea of

Hi Adam

FileMaker is an alternative. I find the AppleWorks Database a little
constrictive, however FM is the other side of that. So large, flexible and
powerful as to be scary - I'm sure there are people who will disagree :-)
However there are so many plug-ins for it in freeware  shareware that a lot
of the aggravation has been removed.

I seem to recall hearing that MS were ditching Access in favour of FM

Entourage - the thing to remember about Rules is that they are applied in
the order in which they are listed.

If you open a message and then open rules you will find that the e-addresses
are automatically in place.

There are quite a few variables but once you have had a bit of play it works
quite well. 

As for Spam then look at SpamSieve - works with Entourage and Mail and
PowerMail and MailSmith and Eudora. http://www.c-command.com/spamsieve/

Personally not fond of MS in principle but the Office Suite is excellent
software, and it does seem to work on Macs better with each new version.

IMHO Appleworks sucks, basically :-) Also not happy with Mail, iCal etc I
find them clumsy and inflexible. Have never been able to get iSync working
with my Nokia 6310i via Bluetooth, just think that there is a long way to go
with all of those Apple apps, except Safari which I find brilliant -
especially the tabbed browsing.

If you check the archives you will find loads of info on alternatives to
Office.

My 2 cents :-)

All the best

Angus

Re: Data Bases

There is another data base for the Mac besides FileMaker

It's called Panorama and has been going since 1985   with  constant
improvements of course !
RAM  based  and relational  It is blazingly fast. Requires  considerably
less space than FileMaker or any other data base for that matter.Cross
platform , the only change you need to make is add the extension .pan to
your files .I am currently running a 35,000 photographic catalog

I've just bought virtual PC v6.1 with windows XPpro (as part of the 
Office X
pro package)  I have a couple of questions for any Virtual PC v6.1 
users

out there:

1)  Virtual PC comes on two CDs. I successfully installed on my 800MHz 
G4
15 iMac (running OSX 10.2.8). All this from the first disc - I was 
never
asked for the second disc. The second disc is labelled Additional 
system
files and by inspection contains 483.4MB of Windows files (5474 
items).

There are no read me or text files.

Does anyone know what these files are, what they are used for, in what
circumstances I would need them??



It will probaly be full of compressed archives for extra sytem S/W, 
webserver, database connectivity, networking etc


2)  When I'm on the road, I'll need to install on my 400MHz G4 Ti 
Powerbook
and I was thinking of installing OSX on the powerbook. The 
documentation say
that VPC 6.1 will run on OSX or OS9 but that it needs a 500 MHz or 
faster

processor in OSX - which rules out the powerbook.

Presumably I can run VPC if I boot up in OS9 - would that mean that I 
should

be booted in OS9 when I install it.


Ive run it (slowly but surely) on a 350BW G3 under OSX, it went much 
better under 9 of course.
I dont think it matters which OS the install is done under, but dont 
quote me;)




Does VPC install different versions of the software for OSX/OS9. If 
not and

I mistakenly try to start VPC when in OSX what might happen:
-   it refuses to launch
-   it tries  hangs
-   it launches but is not usable
-   it brings the mac to its knees

the first three would not be a problem but the last would be a worry - 
is

there any potential to crash/corrupt OSX.



It is the only app that has completely frozen this mac under OSX, 
however no real harm done. Almost funny really.



The powerbook only has a 10GB drive so I don't want to partition -
presumably it would be OK to have OS9, OSX  VPC on the same partition
provided I restarted in OS9 before launching VPC.



You can tell it to limit itself to a certain size or even set it 
yourself to a fixed size, its very slick, more so than a real PC most 
times.
If you are putting it to use, XP will soon begin to fill even a 3gig 
HDD on a PC so beware.

We're on our way to do the 2003 World Solar Challenge

2003-10-16 Thread Onno Benschop
Hi folks,

After months of speculation, weeks of anticipation and days of packing,
we're hours away from leaving - well it's nearly 8pm on Friday and we
leave at 6am on Sunday - but you get the idea...

As some of you know, the 2003 World Solar Challenge runs from Darwin to
Adelaide from October 19th to 28th. The West Australian team, Sungroper,
has asked us to do their logistical support - which might have something
to do with the fact that the team has a high percentage of geeks who
just happened to know about our satellite dish and associated Internet
connectivity.

We said you bet!

Some also may know that Yahoo is running a competition to find special
Internet cafes to celebrate ten years of Internet cafes around the
world. In their categories, they have one that runs under the heading:
Most Remote or Unusual location. With us travelling down the Stuart
Highway with a mobile satellite dish - we figure we have it in the
bag... Every night we'll unpack the dish and update our web-sites and
keep everyone - including yourself - informed about our progress.

We'll even leave you with some web-places to visit and read up on our
travels...

We're just about finished packing up and ready to leave Crossing Falls
(near Kununurra in the far north east of WA - so far north east that
it's 20 km to the NT border!)

Tomorrow the dish - and thus Internet gets packed away, so this is one
final message before we hit the tarmac. We'll go past Victoria Crossing,
Katherine, and many other places on our way to Darwin, where we'll
arrive on the 15th or so. Get ready for the race, big shop, last minute
preparations, the race starts on Sunday October 19th.

There have been reports of news coverage on Channel 10, and I suspect
there'll be others - who knows you might even see us with our little van
and saucer - we'll be with the yellow coloured shark car towards the end
of the pack...

So, places to read up on us:

http://www.sungroper.asn.au/
http://www.wsc.org.au/

If everything goes to plan, we'll even have some time to put some daily
photos up on the ITmaze site at:

http://www.itmaze.com.au/cafe/

So, hang on to your hats, we're on our way!


We'll read our emails, so keep them coming - while we're offline they'll
get stored and you'll receive a message to that effect.

Cheers,

Onno Benschop and Fran Miller

Ok first of the bat 9.2.2 will not load onto your legacy mac due to the
fact when the installer opens it looks and finds the machine I'D , if it
does not correspond with the ones it has then it will not install.
There is a work around for it if you want to play with your mac's id but it
comes down to is it worth the hassle for an extra bell or whistle ?

Lisa's Fate

2003-10-16 Thread Christian Kotz

Is this statement I located true?

in 1989 Apple buried thousands of Lisa's in landfill. Lisa was gone.

Sounds a bit nasty. Anyone planning a excavation soon? if this is 
true and Apple didn't like them then why is everyone after one?

Keynote video unexpecedly quits

2003-10-16 Thread Reg Whitely

Dear WAMUGgers

I'm playing around with Keynote for the first time and am making a 
presentation for our Showcase this Saturday. It has some sound files 
and photos on individual slides, and some quicktime movies as well.


I'm experiencing random unexpected quits when some movie slides open 
on the screen, which is very annoying, especially as I will be 
demonstrating this software to the general public. Is there an issue 
with Keynote and Quicktime movies? Is there something I need to do to 
make it more stable? I hope someone can help.


I'm using an iBook 600, 384 Mb, with 10.2.8 (latest update) with 
Keynote 1.1.


Regards

Reg

IF IT IS  A SONNETT CARD they expressly say that you cannot instal 9.2.2
But you can have OS9.1 and OSX using there OSX extra software patch.

10.2.8 problems

2003-10-16 Thread Robert Dudley Miller-Eves
I've read with interest and dismay,the various messages concerning 
problems with the OS 10.2.8 upgrade.
Then I, stupidly!, agreed to allow my computer to upgrade itself when 
the kind invitation arrived on my screen!
Oh Horror!   Now my Epson 1660 Scanner and ,recently purchased, Griffin 
PowerWave don't exist according to 10.2.8.
Mysteriously,however,they are still there for me in good ole' OS9.2 . 
Ho Hum!
