Re: Reverse directory

This is great!  A bit dated but still very useful.  I'd been on the
understanding that reverse look-ups in Oz were not permitted.


They're not as far as I know. Funny what happens when things get 
served overseas...

The VoiceOver has been turned on, this can be disabled by Apple + F5
I believe, you may want to check your 'Keyboard and Mouse' settings
under System Preferences! :D

The kids found this at work this year, another thing to lock down in
the SOE.. Doh..

Thanks,

Good afternoon wamuggers

In the last few days some weirdness has crept into my system. The  
speech recognition is off but every window that is opened or app or 

keystroke such as volume down, brings Vicky's voice saying
everything  
that appears or announcing every keystroke. At the same time this  
started windows have a black box around them and sometimes fields or
 
buttons as well. I reinstalled Leopard but weirdness persists.

Has anyone experienced something like this or know what to do
please?

Best wishes
edward

I believe the reason it is illegal in Australia was that Desktop 
Marketing Systems Pty Ltd was ruled to have broken copyright on the 
Telstra phone directory:

Interestingly Telstra used to offer such a service itself:

Britannica 2008 Ultimate Reference Suite in Leopard

2008-01-09 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi Wamugers,

Has anyone installed and been able to open Britannica 2008 Ultimate  
Reference Suite in OSX10.5.1?
I installed the above on my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz  
Processor Speed / 3GB Memory / 800 MHz Bus Speed / 160GB HD (79GB  
free), running OSX10.5.1 Leopard.


I installed Britannica into my Administrator Account which has 'read/ 
write' access.


Installation was completed successfully. I have the Install Log if  
anyone wishes to see it.


But, when I try to open the '2008 Ultimate Reference Suite' I get a  
Java Error:

Cannot Launch Java Application
Uncaught exception in main method:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError:
org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementlmpl.getText
Content()Ljava/lang/String;

Which is different to the error on their support at the following link:

http://support.britannica.com/common/194.htm

Britannica has been installed in my Administrator's Account with 'read/ 
write' privileges.
I don't profess to know anything about Java but to me it seems to be a  
problem with Britannica 2008  Java 5.0.
Mac OS X Leopard comes with J2SE 5.0 preinstalled, based on JDK  
1.5.0_13_b05


I've sent emails to Britannica support in Australia, United Kingdom   
USA  no replies as yet ;-)
I've also searched and searched the Internet for any solution to no  
avail.


So I'm now pinning my hopes on WAMUG to solve this problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ronni
