Onno Benschop Hi Reg, Edwin, Onno other interested members, I have my Airport Extreme Base Station connected to ADSL Router connected to Phone line upstairs, (which is the only phone line in the house). I have downstairs in my Study an iMacDV OSX10.2.8 which connects by Ethernet to my iBook G4 OSX10.3.2 which connects by Airport to the Base Station. In another Study downstairs I often have another Airport iBook G4 OSX10.3.2 connected to the Network. My house is Hardie Plank upstairs Limestone downstairs. All computers have no trouble with the range and none of them are 'in line, or in view' with the Base Station. I did think at first the range was not as good as my 'Snow' Airport Base Station, which I could stay connected to over the road at my neighbours (I have not tried this with my Airport Extreme). I can stay connected outside in the back yard, front yard upstairs on the balconies. Hope you can sort it out Reg.

The Sounds of Silence (From the NY Times)
February 9, 2004 Downloaders Can Get Nothing for Something From Apple By DAVID F. GALLAGHER he top-of-the-line iPod music player from Apple Computer can hold four solid weeks of music. But what if you just want a little peace and quiet? As it turns out, Apple sells that too - sounds of silence for 99 cents. Steve Halberstadt of Raleigh, N.C., made such a purchase last week after discovering that Apple's iTunes store, the Web's leading downloadable music outlet, had added The Whitey Album, a 1995 release by Ciccone Youth, a jokey side project of the rock band Sonic Youth. The album's second track album, Silence, consists of 63 seconds of exactly that. (The band has said, with tongue in cheek, that the track is a version of John Cage's famous silent composition 4'33, only speeded up.) After checking out the 30-second preview, which seemed to be very representative of the rest of the song, Mr. Halberstadt said he could not help but make the purchase. He described it as the best 99 cents I've ever spent'' in an e-mail message last week to Jack Miller, the editor in chief of the news and gossip Web site As the Apple Turns (www.appleturns.com). Mr. Miller mentioned the silent track on his site, and soon readers were submitting others they had dug up among the more than 500,000 selections in the iTunes store. Most of the tracks were clearly meant to be breathers between songs, not silence for silence's sake, but in the automated process of chopping albums into files they had been given their own price tags. Several were from an album by the hip-hop group Slum Village, and like all of the album's tracks, they bore an explicit label indicating profanity - or in these cases, explicit silence. Using the readers' suggestions, Mr. Miller compiled a playlist of nine tracks of professionally encoded silence, a total of 6 minutes and 44 seconds of the yawning void, downloadable from iTunes for just $8.91. He noted that as with all iTunes purchases, antipiracy measures allow the silence to be enjoyed on no more than three computers. Late in the week, Apple made it impossible to buy the Ciccone Youth silent track by itself. An Apple spokeswoman, Natalie Sequeira, said such decisions were up to the artists, and in this case they recently told us that they wanted it to be available only as part of the album. DAVID F.

ANZ Internet Banking Safari
I have no problems with Safari 1.2 (and the related Java 1.4.2 update) and using the ANZ and National Bank internet banking services (including funds transfer). Safari 1.2 fixed my remaining outstanding problem with Safari and internet banking with these two banks, that being the inability of MS Excel (OSX version, currently 10.1.5) to directly open the downloaded transaction history csv type files. Prior to Safari v 1.2, I needed to use an intermediate application to convert the file to a text type file, that could then be opened with MS Excel. If downloaded with Internet Explorer, the csv files have always been able to be directly opened by MS Excel. One additional note on using MS Excel to initially identify the downloaded csv file type is that double-clicking on the file in Mac OS 10.3.2 gave an unrecognised file type and a prompt to select an application. However the dialogue box for the Open With command had a setting of Recommended Applications, which did not include MS Excel. I had to change the dialogue box to a setting of All Applications to be able to select MS Excel. In my use of Safari, I have Block Popup Windows activated and the Debug menu for User Agent set to Automatic (I activated the debug menu in the original version of Safari and it has remained active through the upgrades. Try emptying Safari's cache (under Safari menu) first and then deleting any cookies (under Safari menu - Prefrences/Security) to assist with further troubleshooting (not that I can see any ANZ cookies in my list).

RE: random reboots
It is a 14 inch iBook 700MHz with 16MB VRAM ... purchased it new in May 2002 so it is just coming up to 2 years old. I'm not sure whether there is any hardware test for the problem. The iBook was working perfectly (except for the odd kernel panic) and then all of a sudden last Tuesday morning the screen got lots of static on it ... this static turned into grey/white/green stripes running from top to bottom (pretty wild to look at) ... then the iBook died within the space of about 30 minutes. Apart from the kernel panics I noticed it had been getting hotter than usual over the last 3 or 4 months under the left palm rest (but not excessively so). See http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ for details of Apple's extended logic board repair extension program. See also http://www.searchrochester.com/blackcider/index.html for details from affected iBook owners.

Re: Weird things happening to iMac screen
I had loads of problems with my imac monitor - to resolve it I updated firmware to 4.1.9 and it worked fine. Download it from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130 Then if you still have a problem you could upgrade to Mac OS 10.3 - I have 350mhz imac with 512mb ram and it works fine, BUT make sure you upgrade firmware first.

I have an iMac Special Edition (graphite) running MacOS 9.1. I've started getting bright and dark horizontal bands of mostly purplish light across my screen. All different heights. In some applications, one of these bands of purple light, a couple of millimetres in height, will follow my cursor up and down the screen, the band extending to the right of the cursor only. Also, I seem to have lost some screen space, in that I now have two black vertical strips (about a centimetre in width) down the left and right edges extremes my screen, with the window tabs I had set up along the bottom of the screen sinking so that I can now see only the top edge of the tabs. I can correct this (not the bands of light problem) by going to the Monitor control panel and playing with Geometry settings, but if I revert to Factory Settings, the problem comes back. Anyone know what's going on? Has my iMac reached its expiry date? Is my hard disk in danger of crashing?? :-( Any tips welcome...TIA...Steven -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WAMUG is powered by Stalker CommuniGatePro
