Re: MYOB problem

[Andrew Nielsen]

If he has a current version of MYOB then MYOB Australia provide a 
1800 support number to call, they may be able to answer the question. 
One other thing you might want to check... MYOB seems a bit picky 
about which directory the application is in.  It does sometimes seem 
to want the MYOB folder to be at the root level of the hard disk.

HSBC online banking using Safari?

[Steven]

Anyone else had trouble accessing HSBC online banking using Safari 1.2.2 ?

I'm running 10.3.4. HSBC online banking works fine using IE 5.2.3, but in
Safari the online banking's new window opens, but nothing more. I don't have
Block Pop Up Windows turned on when doing it.

Cheers...Steven

It's going well even down here in Augusta with iinet. I'm using G3 
iBook 600 with standard Airport card. I've cut back Extreme base 
station to 802.11b and extended the range by 40% on Extreme settings.

Is a G3 iBook compatible with Airport Extreme - or, from another

Re: VoIP, free phone calls - how?

[Adam Lippiatt]

You might want to have a look at  platinumcalling.com.au.

I use them for VOIP and some of their rates are okay.  In the future 
things should be much better as they tell me they plan to reach 
agreements whereby you will be able to call another capital city for a 
rate only a little more expensive than a local call.  I understand they 
manage to do this by putting you on to the phone network from within 
the locality the call is received.


The VOIP software I have used is nowhere near as clear as using iChat 
though (or the phone).


Regards

Adam

I have a Powerbook running OS X 10.3.4, iSight, and iChat 2.1. I was

if
there's a computer user at the other end, ie. with microphone and

software? Or is there a way to use iSight and iChat to make a call to 
a

telephone line, no computer at the other end?


There isn't a way to gateway iChat calls onto the telephone network. 
And (not surprisingly) with VOIP software you have to pay to make 
calls to regular telephone numbers, but calls to other VOIP software 
or VOIP phones are free (excluding any bandwidth charges you're 
already paying your ISP). The charges to gateway calls onto the 
regular phone network are less than you'd pay Telstra though, 
typically.



I've gotten as far as downloading a program called fwd-kphone from
, and another program called SJphone, 
but
struggling to figure out how these things work (that's if they do 
what I'm

thinking they do - maybe it's no more than iChat?).

I'm on a 1.5Kbps ADSL connection.

Would be grateful for any tips  at the level of "VoIP for Dummies".

to justify my purchase of iSight! :-)

Of course, you can't gateway iSight video onto the regular telephone 
network, you just need to only talk to Mac users :)

the sender's a dead give away that no mater what it is at least spam

Anything with a .pif is suspect.

.pif files in windows store information about the operating enviroment 
of a program IE if you run a dos program with custom settings in Win XP 
it will generate a .pif file. THESE FILES ARE EXACUTABLE.


On a mac or unix OS it will do nothing.

WTB: LaserWriter Parts

[Robin Belford]

Can anyone assist me in buying a part for my Apple Personal LaserWriter 
4/600


The part I need is the Motor Assembly  922-0467.
Actually all I need is the drive gear, but I guess the whole motor will 
need to be purchased.


Directions to a friendly Apple Dealer in Perth would probably suffice.
btw, I do not live in Perth, but it is the closest place with any sort 
of Apple Service facilities.


thanks

Good point. And that _will_ be an issue, given that there's no 2IC to
call in to work if something goes wrong while I'm unable to access our
systems.

IMAP is a good solution to that :-)

I have a "priority" mailbox that some recipients get filtered into on
the server side. All lists are automatically filtered into the
appropriate mailboxes server side. Most spam gets thrown in a Junk
folder - on the server, by the server, on delivery. So if I'm on a
low-bandwidth link I can pick and choose what I access. It's great. A
compressed SSH tunnel makes it even better :-)

Anyway, this is getting well -OT...

Hmm... I should not see this return via the list, as I have

100% sure that it worked.

I am off for 3 months break, so won't be needing the feed.

It's been interesting as an ex-Mac user, watching the enthusiasm you all
