stylewriter printers

[KEVIN Lock]

Has anyone worked out a fix for the paper feed problems that older 
stylewriters experience?  I have  several to go to Bali, but most of 
them have a paper feed problem.


The printer tries to grab the paper then tells me that there is no paper.

Any ideas or landfill?

Dear Wamuggers
Many thanks for all your responses to the thesis translation  
problem. I have
the thesis on CD now and can e-mail it if needed. Tony Cobain has  
been able
to access some of it using MacLink version 14, but to access it  
fully

apparently an earlier version is required.
The thesis was typed on MacWrite 2 he tells me.
Can anyone suggest any other avenue to pursue or is it a re-type  
job from

the original bound copy of the thesis?

Re: Backup Hard Drives?

[James / Hans Kunz]

i allready have 1.3 tbytes capacity on a total of 8 hd's
lacie has a good backup prog "silverkeeper" that works on osx.4.9 &  
it's for free, you can make your backup copy bootable! which is  
important if you have a hd failure

In the latest Harris Technology catalogue there are lots of 1TB  
external
hard drives.   Price for a LaCie is $549.   I guess we'll all be  
talking in

terabytes soon.

Re: Email problems (was: What's happening to WAMUG postings)

[Neil Houghton]

Just a follow-up to this. I have also noticed I seem to be missing some
other regular newsletters and an email which was sent to me took several
days to get through - and probably wouldn't have if the sending mail server
doesn't try for up to 5 days!

I have lodged a support ticket with Servers Austalia - so we'll see what
they come up with. The person who sent me the email initially got an error
message back (see below) - does this tell me what/where the problem is?

Any feedback on this would be good - I'll let the list know what Servers
Australia come back with.

 Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to find out
 what might
 have happened to the missing posts or how to check if any other
 mail went
 astray (I suspect this is a hopeless task but, then again, the
 ingenuity of
 the WAMUG list never fails to amaze me!)
 
 
 TIA
 
 
 Neil
 
 By the way, I'm also owner of a couple of Yahoo groups and have
 noticed
 recently that there seems to be more instances of other people
 missing our
 messages (including myself) though these tend to be more
 intermittent. I
 sometimes wonder if this is all a sign of a general malaise with
 the email
 system buckling under the weight of spam?

Re: Backup Hard Drives?

[Paul Weaver]

Just a thought on buying hard drives.  I've been astonished by how the price
of storage devices keeps coming down and their capacity keeps going up.

In the latest Harris Technology catalogue there are lots of 1TB external
hard drives.   Price for a LaCie is $549.   I guess we'll all be talking in
terabytes soon.

Paul.
