Hi everyone,

I currently have about 100 -130 Mac computers, monitors and

a Deputy Principal and looking after all of our network ( at the  
moment) I just can't find the time to re image them etc.


I hate throwing out good computers that work so.

I remember a group that were setting up computers for use in Timor  
as well as the Computer Angels in Perth.


These computers range from the original Classics to 6400's.  ( I  
can still use iMacs on our network).


I'm particularly interested in the Timor idea as  the older models  
are more likely to be accepted.


Do any of you have any contact info for me?


My church people say you could try http://www.greenpc.com.au/. Dunno  
if they take Macs though.

Telstra Wireless is a pain in the butt. Nobody I've heard of with a Mac has
had any success getting it set up. If you must use Telstra Cable just get
the standard Cable Modem Telstra supplies. They sent me a new Motorola
SB5101l-AU Surfboard Cable Modem a few weeks ago in preparation for their
speed boosts as of March to 17MB/sec down 256K/sec up speeds. Use a 3rd
party Wireless/Router such as a Netgear WG614 or similar that can handle
wired or wireless clients. It will work out cheaper and be far superior.

If you can get other options other than Telstra consider that also
especially if you can get ADSL2+. Telstra is extremely Mac unfriendly and
just about every ISP provides more value for your money.

you in the next week or so.


Sorry again for the delay.

"Science teaches that we must see in order to believe, but we must 
also believe in order to see."

Paid podcasts are on their way....

[Rod]

Hi All!

Seems the inevitable is happening:



Fans of the current series will have to fork out for the next lot ($7US
per month), at 4 per month and 12 in the series, so to listen to the
next series will cost you $21US.

I wonder how far off the video podcasts will be before charging, such as
Rocketboom and TikiTV.  They must have enormous bandwidth costs per
month, plus purchasing the hardware to create a video podcast. (Although
Rocketboom just sold their first advertising spot on ebay for
$40,000US).

It will be interesting to see what happens from here, whether people pay
for the podcasts, or we have to put up with advertising.

If I can preview the content, then I would be happy to pay.  But if I am
paying, no ads!

Like iTools, I think the free ride is coming to an end :-)

Seeya

Rod!

You don't say what software you use to subscribe to your podcasts,

Music/Podcasts. In there you'll find one or more folders named  
according to the podcasts you have downloaded. The podcasts  
themselves are in those folders.


If you select a podcast (or a song or movie) in iTunes, you can hit  
⌘-R to open the folder containing the selected track in Finder.


Since I'm here, another shortcut that's very handy in iTunes is ⌘-L

Other podcast clients will have their own locations. You might find  
it's better to search on the name of the podcast software instead of  
the podcast itself (which may well have been renamed by the software  
for indexing purposes, depending on the software).

Yes, their are lots of reports about this issue and it is not just  
Photoshop, but the creative suites per se.


Adobe are working on issues with Apple etc. etc. But their will be no  
change over too Universal in short term, it will eventuate at the  
next Major release point for their CS, so the story goes.

Their will also be issues with the 32bit v 64bit processers, mainly  
to do with memory allocations?



I mainly use Photoshop and am thinking of buying the new Mac.


I would wait unless the need to upgrade is imperative, then again  
their are some really good bargains on the PowerPC architecture  
around the traps at the moment, with negotiation could be better still.


Cheers!

RE: podcast

[Duncan Hardman]

Paul is quite right about the location but just want those people who
don't know a podcast is

Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio
programs or music videos, over the internet using either RSS or Atom
syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. A
podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for
anyone to subscribe to, and also the content of that feed. Podcasters'
websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the
subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what
distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast)

So basically it is a feed you subscribe to rather than manually download
one file at a time.

Cheers

Duncan

Yes, Podcast is just a fancy way of saying "recorded radio program
converted to mp3".
Podcasts gotten from ITMS live in your iTunes Library.
Ones you get via a browser etc should be in your download
folder/location.

Have fun

I am running Photoshop 7.0 on a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with 1GB  
of RAM, and it hasn't missed a beat.

Does a podcast actually download to one's computer?  I've done a 
variety of searches but can't locate a file.
