Re: .xml doc
Hi Rosalyn, XML isn't really an image format. The file might actually be what's called an SVG file, which is a type of XML file that programs such as Illustrator can open and save. I would suggest saving the file as SVG and trying that. On the other hand, is the file your working with meant to be an image? If it's just text or information, then you would want to edit it in a program other than Illustrator. Did you double-click the file to open it? It might be that the file is identified as an Illustrator SVG file when it's really just a text XML file. You can edit XML files with Property List Editor which is a program you will only have if you have installed developer tools (you could find it in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/). Otherwise you would have to edit it in a text editor such as TextEdit (this can be complicated, because you have to be careful about changing the tags).

Re: 17 Powerbook sends vibrations through body ?
To sort out this mess.. A three prong plug has an extra connection for an earth. It also means that heavy waited objects plugged in can't fall out as fast! The chargers for the PPC laptops and Intel laptops originally came with two adaptors to plug into the physical charger. A long extenstion cord that has always been equipped with a three pronged end and also a shorter model that allows the charger to be plugged in directly that is only two pronged which is quite dangerous! That is why major electrical devices such as VCR, TV, Microwave always have three pronged plugs to earth the device where a simply kettle will not. Also on a laptop it is not too much of an issue since the current is brought down to only 12v so it shouldn't cause too much harm to yourself...

Re: airport 802.11n
Hey Edward In basic no. The IEEE specification of IEEE 802.11n is the new standard of wireless transfer to eventually replace 802.11g. It has a transfer rate of 108Mbps compared to 802.11g's of only 54Mbps. The new standard is also supposed to get better range and quality. Only the brand new Airport Extremes (In a square box which looks like a miniature Mac Mini) can work at 802.11n or any other new Access Point which operates at 802.11n. Now take note, the update provided by Apple which costs a few dollars I believe only works on the latest Intel Macs minus the budget 17 iMac. (I just checked, it costs $2.99AUD) (Important note: The Enabler is included free with the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n. If you purchase a new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you do not need to purchase the Enabler separately.) Another thing to throw into the equation is the specification of 802.11n hasn't been ratified by the IEEE and isn't supported by many companies or access points, despite this Apple has released the new Apple Airports and the latest computers with this feature. I hope that answered your question and didn't confuse you more..

Re: 17 Powerbook sends vibrations through body ?
lets go technical all switchmode power supplies have a capacitor effect within the internal transformer plus as spike protection there are 1 or 2 820pf capacitors between primary (240v) secondary (plug to powerbook) so a small current of up to 3ma can powerup the frame of you laptop plug in the power pack into mains (but not into laptop) with a digital multimeter you can see around 105v ac static coming from the power pack if you measure to the mains earth (powerpack plug outer ring - mains earth pin) let's get curly hair..James On 30/03/2007, at 11:56, Steven wrote: I don¹t know why I haven¹t noticed this previously, I¹ve had my current Powerbook for nearly three years, but today, whilst I had my Powerbook on my lap, my three year old daughter stood next to me.

Cut a long story short, I figured out that the weirdness stopped when I wasn't holding or touching the Powerbook. But when I was, and when I touched my daughter's skin, it seems like tiny vibrations are what is giving the weird sensation. My daughter says it tickles. I imagine this has something to do with why occasionally I get a small electric shock or static sensation on the inside part of my lower arm when it rests on the Powerbook. I guess it must be electricity running through my body. For all you electrical engineers come health experts, is this some kind of a health risk?

Re: 17 Powerbook sends vibrations through body ?
Hi all, Yeah, it's an interesting effect. As others have mentioned, you may notice differences depends on whether you're using battery, two-prong or three-prong plugs. James has already mentioned one of the causes explicitly. I've not personally had the sensation with PowerBooks recently, but what basically happens it that different people are naturally at different 'ground' levels (just like static electricity shocks) and it's quite normal. Neither the latent issue nor the tingling are cancer threats in that case. (Or maybe we need to outlaw carpets, clothing, and all bodily motion...) It can depend on various factors, just like static electricity does. If you've ever been in contact with alternate mains phases, you'll appreciate the fact that your hair doesn't actually stand on end with this one! Seriously, though, this is usually the nature resistance and capacitance, and if you're experiencing what everyone else experiences, it's probably as unescapable as gravity. I guess it's noticeable with PowerBooks because they have conductive metalic cases. Similar effects would exist with all cases (you're always multiply linked to the grounds in your environment, even through an air gap) but plastic is below the threshold of our 'conscious sensation'. Probably nothing better than a party trick, I'm afraid, James -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
trouble syncing
Hi Rosemary Not sure if this helps, but... I had a SE W550i which used to sync perfectly. then one day it just wouldn't, same error as yours. It also stopped syncing perfectly with my car (but would do so grudgingly, mostly) I never found out why and assumed that the bluetooth was a bit buggered from being repeatedly dropped. I lost it recently and replaced with a K800 (whoo-hooo! 3.2mp camera) which is quite happy with isync. My daughter's K700i never synced at all with her iBook (via bluetooth adapter) but does so quite easily on a Macbook. Unfortunately I have googled for Apple articles on it without success, and as usual, you can't talk to anyone at Apple. Needless to say SonyEricsson say its a Mac problem try other computers with your k700??? david -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
