Re: Stuffit stuffed
Stuffit expander still works the same for me as it did before 10.4. It doesn't come on the OS like it used to though so you may have to download it from the web. Ruben A.

Re: Battery life in Cordless Mouse ??????
Jaycar in Northbridge do very good rechargeable batteries. Something like $5 each for 2600 mili-Amp which will store a lot of energy. If you want you can buy cheaper batteries with a lower mili-Amp that won't give as much usage time before needing a recharge. They're Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) so you won't experience the memory effect when charging them. Ruben A. Franke I had a talk with one of the guys from Batteries + about rechargeable in cordless mice and they didn't recommend rechargeables as being the best option because they self drain quite quickly and so only retain sufficient charge for around 1 to 2 months normal use. He suggested that with the cost of 4 Lion batteries (2 in the mouse and 2 charged replacements) being about $20+ (for brand name ones) you could get a blister pack of 20 alkaline batteries and each pair should last about 3 months so you should get around 2 to 3 years out of a pack. Depends on the mouse but ... The MS Intellimouse Explorer here at work seems to just keep going and going (AA batteries). The logitech MX1000 at home seems to last a few weeks (rechargable) ... less so if I spend a weekend playing WoW *heh heh*. Cheers, T.

Re: Battery life Charging NMh cells
Good pointer Ruben ! OK ! That was the first part ! Now for the recharging of those NMh cells . RightUPFRONT : You NEED A SPECIALLY DESIGNED CHARGER to recharge those cells, and the reasons why are all spelt out in a 36 page pdf document found at the following address . http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/nickelmetalhydride_appman.pdf I thought I might get away using my old NiCad charger but it simply does NOT cut the mustard in either charge rate or controls to PREVENT overcharging.

Re: Stuffit stuffed
Edward, In case you are relying on the double click for the Unstuff to happen , I find it does NOT always work for me on 10.3.9 In those cases try Dragging thesit file onto Stuffit Expander icon. Which always has then worked for me. Bob On 27/08/2005, at 11:36 AM, Edward Arrowsmith wrote: How does one open .sit files in 10.4.2. Stuffit expander no longer works.

Re: Anyone here a wizz on Automator?

All in all, there are about 380 different HTML pages. Is there anyone that can make an automator workflow that will convert each of these pages into a pdf, then combine the pdf into one? Just to digress a little (and I know br all about Automator), there is an excellent product called HelpLogic which allows you to develop HTML help systems and deploy it as Apple Help, Microsoft Help, Web-based help, UniHelp (their own product), and - soon to come - PDF and Printed. This may or may not be useful to you (you may be able to bulk import your HTML), but I am starting to use it to deploy a text book which I am working on, and it' s looking promising. Since we are digressing. Acrobat creates this type of document from a Web Page (links etc..), that is of course if one has this product? Or you can use the converter already in the system ie to convert X.html to X.pdf do: /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f X.html -o X.pdf Now, to turn that into an Automator workflow :) Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt
