Re: Photography equivalent to WAMUG

Fwd: Your usage has reached 301MB [Reference Number: 070511-004254]
I wonder if anyone could help my friend with this problem, or if anyone has experienced similar things. BigPond are stating that she is currently at 759Mb usage with her emails, and are going to start charging her for overuse. I have had a look at her mail folder in 'Users/Library/Mail' and it is only 49.9Mb at present. She does not download anything off the internet, and does not receive or send large files. Can anyone be using her account, if so to what purpose? and how can they do this? I assume that she does not need a firewall for the Mac, as long as she downloads the latest security patches from Software Update? So it would appear that someone is downloading files using her account? she only has one machine and lives alone. We have no idea where this usage is coming from.

Changing the font etc in an Appleworks database field
Hi, I've used database files in Clarisworks/Appleworks over many years, and worked out how to do most of the things I want to. But one thing leaves me still baffled. How can I change all the data in one particular text field (over the whole database) to a given font, size, etc? Obviously the Layout gives the defaults for such things, but data pasted into these fields often retains font and size from its source. I want to retrospectively convert all the data in a particular field to a given format. I realize I can probably select and convert all data over all fields, but I need different fields to be in different formats. Sounds as if it should be simple to do ... if only some kind soul would point out how...!! (esteemed Ronnie, where are you?).

Re: Your usage has reached 301MB [Reference Number: 070511-004254]
Jon, I think the answer is in your question... As far as I am aware, Bigpond charges for all traffic (other than from their own servers), so Software Update downloads will count towards the total. Assuming that a bunch of Software updates were installed in the last month, that could easily account for 750MB... A number of other ISP's allow free traffic from Akamai's servers - would definitely be worth a look! Hope this helps! Steve.

Re: Your usage has reached 301MB [Reference Number: 070511-004254]
It may be worth checking if all her email [assuming using Apple's Mail.app] has been removed from the server. Control-click on any of the blue mail folders in the folders list [in the left pane] then open 'Get Info', then select 'Messages on Server' which gives you a list of all the messages still resident on the server, then select them all [assuming you don't wish to keep any altho I can't see why anyone would want to] and then delete them. The other suggestion of ensuring messages are deleted from the server as soon as read will prevent such a build up again. I check that Messages on Server every few months or so and always find some messages still there even though they should have been removed. Don't know why this happens. I just include that process now in my [ir]regular housekeeping procedures. .

Hi All I have a Umax 1220U Scanner which is surplus to my requirements. I would like to give it to anyone who has a use for it. It worked well on OS 9. I haven't tried it with OSX Please contact me if you are interested.

Claris Works conversion
Dear Wamuggers A friend typed her thesis on an old Mac some years ago. Probably on Claris Works. She has it on disc but would really like to view it and maybe expand it using her current Intel iMac. Lorelei at Joondalup can't solve it at the moment and of course she is pretty busy anyway. Anyone help? -- 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]
