Oh Dear, Ronnie

I transferred my 2003 payment before end of the last financial year 
last and I am still waiting. Vicki said she'd look into it but I must 
have missed the mail. sorry to say so but you've just twigged my

We have been having a couple of issues with finding a treasurer that 
can devote the time required to keep track of all of this.


Rest assured though that we are now on track with getting everything 
sorted out. Our new members site is almost ready to go live, and you 
will be able to check your membership status on there.


If you have paid for a membership, and not received any notification 
could I please ask you to wait one more week. After that, we will be in 
a position to help you.


I must apologize for the time it has taken on this issue.

Re: the debate goes on!

[Phillip McGree]

I got my first dialup account with iiNet in April 1997, seven years ago now.  I 
went to ADSL dialup when the plans became viable (ie Telstra made the wholesale 
pricing reasonable).

The current iiNet ADSL plans are extremely good, and I've been rapt with it 
recently.

However, some of the staff there are completely devoid of a clue.

So, to put it bluntly and ruthlessly, iiNet ADSL is a fantastic product, 
delivered by a company that often doesn't have a clue, and has numerous morons 
in its employ.

The accounting system that they had a year ago was a complete disaster, but 
their current account system gives them flexibility.  Which means that they 
won't close your account down for the weekend because some idiot there mucked 
up your account details (ie been there, done that, still pissed off about it).

Phil

IiNet only seems cheaper. The prices listed on their web pages are all
contingent on choosing their iiPhone product for phone calls. Without 
that
it's another $10 a month for all of their plans. Once that's 
considered then
the prices are identical for almost all plans. The only exception 
being the

Premium 1.5Mb/256 30GB/30GB plan where Westnet beats iiNet by $10.

IiNet's actual prices can be found on the Broadband Choice website at

Westnet's Broadband Choice page is at:
 just in case you want to
compare the two for yourself.

There's one more gotcha with iiNet that's catching some of the heavier
downloaders out that you should know about. Once you exceed your quota 
limit
in either peak or off-peak then your connection is shaped in both 
periods.

With Westnet it's only shaped for the period that you've exceeded the
transfer limit. If you're not a heavy downloader then this probably 
won't

matter. If you are then this is an important distinction


A Lot depends on just how much download you expect to do !!!  ???

Arachnet beats both for some amounts of use,  equal in others.  And 
don't forget the free WAIX traffic ! ?

Um, this isn't correct any more Matt. They will also allow you to set

do have other payment methods. (Although I think you're still right

Direct deposit is basically the same as a credit card. I am basically

This is often to get full featured operation, eg interrupt sharing that
works, power management, wake-on-pci, etc. AFAIK PCI 2.1 and 2.2 are
compatible in almost all ways.

So ... depending on what device it is, it should (but there's no way to
be sure) be safe to use it in an older bus. I use brand new PCI 2.2 NICs
in the PCI buses of _very_ old hardware, ie Pentium 100 machines (from
when PCI was still pretty new) and have no problems.

Re: dig camera as a web cam

[Mark Scholmann]

In a sort-of related task, I found it couldn't be used for this purpose.

I wanted to use it with some "stop-motion" single frame recording software, but 
when the Sony goes into USB mode, it shuts off the camera function.  ie. no 
pictures other than whats in memory stick.

There are many others that allow pass through during connection with computer.

Re: Mac " Bus " version

[Mark Secker]

that depends on the mac in use...

actually it's probably unlikely that any relatively recent Mac (G3 or 
better) would be using a PCI bus design of 2.1 or lower... 2.2 was, 
off the top of my head,  formalised in 1997 and had been used for 
quite a while before that by most manufacturers.
Without doing a search of the Apple tech archive I would guess all 
PowerPC G3 or higher are PCI 2.2 or higher.



I can't say for legacy systems (older than G3) but from personal 
experience I have fitted numerous PCI 2.2 devices  (USB, video 
capture and video cards) in pre G3 PowerMacs  (7200, 7300 etc) 
without problems, many of these cards were transferred to G3 and G4 
machines when the users upgraded without any technical issues.



Good Morning Everyone,

Specifications for PCI cards often quote the " Bus " version as a requirement.
such as " Compliant 32 Bit PCI bus version 2.2 "

Can anybody  say how I can find this information for the Mac in use ?

TIA

Problem with mail

[Peter Hinchliffe]

A client has a problem with Apple Mail on one of her computers. 
Computer is 15" flat screen iMac running Panther. Networked to eMac, 
also running Panther, and using ADSL for Internet access.


Both computers access the same email account, but recently the iMac has 
begun to quit unexpectedly after a partial download of email. The 
mailboxes on this computer together contain over 6,500 messages, and I 
suspect this might have something to do with it. The eMac is behaving 
properly.


Has anyone experienced similar problems?
