Re: Digital camera repairs
Hi Brett The registered Nikon repair place here in WA is Hartland Cinemex, in Edward St (off Lord St). They are pretty good and know Nikon inside out. Try them. I recently had my Nikon D100 and lenses serviced and repaired there. Many operators who say they repair cameras on site, will send them there anyway.

OSX refuses to trash corrupted archives
After downloading some files. Stuffit Expander crashed whilst unzipping a compressed archive. I tried again a further twice to unzip the archive and the same happened. I now have 4 files that the system refuses to trash. Error message as follows: Preparing to move to trash ! The item XXX is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash) Try again when the other task is complete. How can I get rid of these corrupted files. If I have to use the terminal - what are the instructions? I'm running OSX 10.2.8 cheers and thanks Doug Sheerer -- Douglas Sheerer Director (B.A. Art + Design, Post Grad Dip Fine Art, Master of Arts, Art - New Media) Adjunct Research Fellow: : Department of Art Faculty of Built Environment, Art and Design Curtin University of Technology Western Australia Galerie Düsseldorf Directors: Magda + Douglas Sheerer 9, Glyde Street, Mosman Park, WA 6012 Australia Gallery Hours during exhibitions : Wednesday - Friday 11 - 5 pm Sunday 2 - 5 pm All other times by appointment Closed Public Holidays telephone/fax +61 8 9384 0890 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit our Web Site at : http://www.galeriedusseldorf.com.au our exhibitions comprehensively at your fingertips / \ / \ / \ / \ Always more steps to climb IMPORTANT: The contents of this email transmission are confidential and may be protected by professional privilege.

Re: OSX refuses to trash corrupted archives
Doug Can you find them by restarting in OS9 and trashing them from there? Reg On Sunday, November 23, 2003, at 09:06 am, Douglas Sheerer wrote: After downloading some files.

Re: OSX refuses to trash corrupted archives

I now have 4 files that the system refuses to trash. Error message as follows: Preparing to move to trash ! The item XXX is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash) Try again when the other task is complete. It sounds like stuffit expander may not have completely exited. From the terminal, you should be able to use 'ps' to find out it's process ID, then 'kill' to kill it. ps aux | less (note down ID) kill ID (if it still doesn't work) kill -9 ID Alternately, if it's just stuffit expander not exiting, rebooting the system should do the trick too. It's possible that stuffit expander will have a strange name under the process listing (sorry, I don't normally use OSX so I can't check) and might be hard to find. Craig Ringer
Epson ink cartridges
I find I have foolishly bought TO322 (Cyan) and TO323 (magenta) ink cartridges instead of TO422 and TO423. The magenta cartridge has been opened, but the other one is still in its packet. If anyone wants them let me know before I bin them.
