Fwd: Wanted: one OS X capable Mac

If you're getting rid of an old Mac - no matter how scratched, dented and slow - which can run OS X, please consider giving it a new home here. For a largely unrelated purpose, if you're a Mac user from 'way back, you'll remember what a Mac SE 30 is; we have one and would like some children's games for it. If you have any freeware games you can copy, or commercial games you no longer have a Mac for, please contact me off-list to arrange a deal.

iPod personalised blues Attn: resellers?
On 6 Dec 2004, at 9:47, Mark Secker wrote: this is because they will need to track all work on a personalised one so that you get your own one back rather than another reconditioned one or at least you get another reconditioned one with your old personalised backplate. Yes, but I'm just not impressed by the fact that I buy something that doesn't work properly out of the box, and it can't just be replaced. This is not something that has gone wrong and needs repair, it never worked properly. Why should I pay full price, nearly a thousand bucks for a refurbished machine? Does that make any sense? Your experience of 3 day turnarounds would be OK for me, instead of how long I now face having sent it back. Given that when Apple shipped the iPod it took 8 days to arrive, I assume its a safe bet to allow a week by Australia Post to get there. They then say it will take a week to assess, unless it's Personalised, which takes longer, so allow maybe another week. Then ship it back, another week. So that's four weeks I'd say at the very least. I wasn't sure if I could take it anywhere here, and as I said, it was very difficult to talk to the Apple person on the phone. NOTE: I'd like to ask the Resellers on this list, if they read this, is it possible to get some clarification from Apple about personalised iPods? It seems to me that it has severe implications for the buyer if the machine is faulty. Thanks, Matt.

I have quicktime 6.5.2 on Hard Drive, but only loaded RealPlayer recently , possibly after quicktime update . When I copied your url into firefox it asked me what to do with the resultant file ... so I told it to use RealPlayer for that and all similar type files. As a consequence when using Firefox both of the url's about pollie open and run in Realplayer Hope that helps Bob

Have you tried going into Firefox's Preferences. Under the downloads section you can set actions for downloaded files. If something is confused causing Quicktime to be the default then explicitly selecting your Real Player app here may help. Greg Sharp
CommPost: Zytech specials
Hi all! With less than 3 weeks to go were going to help you out with your Xmas shopping with some great bargains to wrap up a great year. But first with the year almost over, the hot products for the following year will no doubt be LCD screens, and technologies centred around multimedia and the convergence of the digital media stored in our computers with our home entertainment. With DVD's and burners being a hot product of the year gone, we'll no doubt be bombarded with the emerging technologies of High Definition DVD and Blu-ray DVD with consumers playing little part in battling out the winning standard. The movie production houses will be the big influencers with Twentieth Century Fox already saying it would participate on the board of directors for Blu-ray, however, with it being a member of the HD-DVD Promotion Group, its obviously having an each way bet. First estimates of whichever technology wins, put the price into the thousands of dollars, so for most of us, well have to wait until the price inevitably tumbles down. With video players and recorders destined for the scrap heap, there will also be a big push for video editing equipment and power intensive computers. An exciting year ahead. So now to the specials! We're continuing our specials on our flash drives - check out our great deals at: http://zytech.com.au/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYCategory_Code=FM As well as some great special deals on our external drives. Check them out at: http://zytech.com.au/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYCategory_Code=ED35FCG2 And with any order over $200 were doing 120GB SATA drives for $99 - thats right $99, but strictly while stocks last and theres a limit of 1 per customer. Price will be adjusted at time of invoicing. Finally, were taking 10% off all our Combo FireWire/USB FireWire 800 Generation II drives that aren't currently on special. (Prices will be adjusted at time of invoicing). Check them out at this link: http://zytech.com.au/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYCategory_Code=ED35FCG2 Till next time - Kind regards, Greg Satti - Zytech PO Box 758 Bunbury WA 6230 Ph: (08) 9721 1125 Fx: (08) 9721 1126 Mb: 0423 558 636 The online data and technology store http://www.zytech.com.au/ If you have received this email in error or you no longer wish to receive communications from zytech, please send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject line of UNSUBSCRIBE.

Thanks to those who responded. It is not a 100 percent repeatable bug but most report it. The jury is out about whether it is naughty Mozilla or apple. I've made a noise at Mozilla's forum and Real has logged a bug with apple.
Partition or not?
Hi, This is a question related to a PC (sorry, I have to slum it sometimes). Since I downgraded to XP I have been having problems with MS Access and I have thought of formatting the hard drive and setting up 2 partitions with operating system and applications on one and data files on the other. Does anyone have thoughts or experience on something like this? (My thoughts on Microsoft and XP are not suitable for printing as this is a family group.) Thanks, Peter Bull -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
WestNet newsgroups has anyone any experience with them?
Hi, I'm with Optus and a lot (like most) of the multi-part items have parts missing. In newsgroups such as alt.binaries.pictures.scenic alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.bootlegs.. Is it the same on the WestNet newsgroups? Thanks Brian

Does anyone have thoughts or experience on something like this? In my experience there is little point in partitioning a Windows machine because the separation of application/documents and OS is almost impossible to achieve. Having said that, some of my clients partition off a slice that is the same size as a blank CD (or DVD) so they can copy stuff aside and burn it to disk. Of course you really should be installing a copy of Linux (only semi-kidding) and if so, you'll need to partition to separate the two. Perhaps download a copy of Knoppix onto a blank CD and boot with that to play :-) Finally if your intent was to speed up your Access Database, or have some notion that a partition will stop corruption, you're better off buying a UPS and regularly backing up. A partition won't really do anything for you.

Thanks, Peter Bull Hi Peter After umpteen win98 reinstalls I learned there is no other way. It allows for quick reinstalls mainly. Just format Windows with extreme prejudice and from a great height, well you get the drift, and your files are there as Windows is re-born with yet another peanut in it's head. Better still is a separate HDD (Master) on the other IDE cable, this gives a slight speed gain if the virtual memory is put there. Not to mention you could physically extract it later from the burning wreckage to be placed gingerly in another 'computer'. Good luck and wear a flack jacket if openning any PC cases;) Paul
