re: Download Behavior

[Trevor Lee]

I've been downloading the 37.8 Mb Frozen Throne update off of the WAMUG mirror 
site via http using Safari.
The download rate started at 23 KB/sec but over time it has gradually reduced 
and is now at 14.2 KB/sec and is almost complete.
Is it normal for download speeds to gradually reduce like this? What causes 
this download rate decay?

Hi Ruben,

Looks like an issue with the wamug server. Here is a comparison between 
the same file (War3TFT_117a_English.bin) from Planetmirror and the WAMUG 
server:


PLANETMIRROR:
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/blizzard/war3x/patches/Mac/
Averaged 732.20k/sec. Jumped around between 800-600k/sec

WAMUG:
http://mirrors.wamug.org.au/blizzard/war3x/patches/Mac/
It started at 1meg/sec, but then went down to 65k/sec in 20seconds, then 
to 50k/sec after 60 seconds. 45k/sec after 3 minutes. I didn't bother to 
let it finish

Old power books

[Susan Hastings]

Hi all who asked about the powerbooks, they are a Powerbook 140, a Powerbook
180 and a Powerbook 180c. They have floppy drives, and are in really crappy
condition, so only usable as parts. If still interested, please get back to
me via email. I'm at home now, so don't have email addresses for people who
replied. Cheers, Susan

Re: Software Update over Wireless?

[Antony N. Lord]

Check that you don't have the base station doing NAT as well as the 
router connecting to your ISP. See if you can get another machine on 
Wireless to do a Software Update successfully. See if there are any 
ports blocked by the base station.


The "base station" is in fact a Billion 7500G ADSL modem / router / AP.

I also forgot to mention because the card isn't an Airport card it 
uses the Sourceforge WirlessDriver software.


Cheers, Anton.

Re: Software Update over Wireless?

[Shay Telfer]

An old Lombard laptop here is using a silver WaveLAN (802.11b) card 
due to a fried ethernet port.


For some reason it can download the list of available updates from 
Software Update but can't actually download the updates themselves. 
It keeps getting a "network error."


Wired machines in the office are not experiencing any such 
difficulties and the firewall isn't reporting port access problems.


Any ideas people?

Hi Vlad

Unfortunately I don't think the original iMac can use those speakers.
The only adapter I am familiar with is called the Griffin iFire, but it runs
off Firewire, so not possible with that iMac I'm afraid.
And also it costs about $95, so you could get a pair of speakers for about
the same price anyway!

Hope that info helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Changing from POP to IMAP

[Antony N. Lord]

I used Eudora (6) under OS X to check my mail. Its been setup with 
POP for my primary account (this mac.com one).


I've got a new desktop Mac at work and hence don't travel with my 
laptop anymore so a move to IMAP to facilitate easy checking of mail 
from the desktop seems wise.


Any pitfalls / dangers I should be aware of before "flicking the switch?"

I've got a couple of large (25Mb) Eudora mailboxes but I don't see 
these been any great trouble.


Cheers, Antony.

Cashies etc Re: Slight Warning

[Mark Secker]

and an inveterate bargain hunter I've haunted more second hand and 
pawn broker shops than I'd care to admit.
some of the Cash Converter shops have even less than not a clue about 
computers (or at least know that there are people with no clue who 
are gullible enough) a couple of years back (2001/2002) the Osbourne 
Park shop had an old Mac Classic that they had priced at $800, which 
was $100 more than we were selling off second hand  Bondi Blue iMacs 
at the time.



The Cash Converters at Vic Park last year had a Apple QuickTake 100 
digital camera for $600 (and if think they might have been a 
temporary aberration a few weeks back I was in there and they had a 
beat up Canon A70 for over $600 - they can be purchased new for under 
$300).



If you want a word of warning about buying  electric guitars 
(particularly a specific US made brand of  guitars)   at certain pawn 
brokers e-mail me off list for the dirt.




I purchased and then returned a Bronze Lombard 400 mghz powerbook 
from Cash Converters Osbourn Park.


Problems with it DVD drive flaky and when DVD inserted screen freezes
PRam battery dead $75
main battery dead
HD a bit noisy and may not last long
machine owner Jannine or something like that - I forgot to get the 
machine number.


for 595- down to 570 the machine would have been nice if ...

Hi Brian,

If you follow these instructions, you will see if your PowerBook screen 
has 'white spots'.

Apple Pro connection

[Vladimir James]

I would like to connect Apple Pro speakers to a friend's iMac/233 (the
original), but as I remember, the connections differ. Does anyone know
whether the old iMac can drive these speakers? If so, who sells the
necessary adapter?
