Re: macbook slowing
Hello Rosemary, Database daemon It's used for Office notifications. You can get rid of it. http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/daemon.html#dd6 Make sure it's not in your Husband's account's startup items first, and also turn off notification in the Entourage preferences.

I repaired permissions, verified his disk I've had a look at the activity monitor and the only thing that seems weird is database daemon that is running. I stopped this and it seemed better, but reappeared when he re-booted . It seems connected to a database utility in Office, which I set not to run in the background. He has no databases of any kind. Has anybody any other solutions/suggestions?

Bad, bad, mouse!
On 15 Jan I put up a post Mighty Mouse scroll fix. Well I can report that the skeptics were right. It was temporary. The behavior of my wireless mouse steadily deteriorated and this week was replaced under warranty. I gather plenty of others have been very disappointed with these gadgets. From what I've read, I fear it won't be too long before my new one goes the same way as the first. Very heavy on batteries too. Is this the most environmentally unfriendly computer mouse design of all time?

Re: Winmail files
Problem solved. TNEF's Enough opened the file and the sender sent me the passphrase required to allow Stuffit Expander to open it. For some reason the sender thought everyone in the world knows what the passphrase is!

Is this the most environmentally unfriendly computer mouse design of all time? I have found the Mighty Mouse to be pretty crap as far as things. Apple really can't seem to get it right. It's really been a swing and a miss ever since the venerable beige Apple Desktop Mouse that shipped with the still-the-best-out-there Apple Extended Keyboard 2. If you want a really decent wireless desktop mouse, you can't go past a Logitech VX Revolution. It's billed as a notebook mouse, but it's the perfect fit for a desktop. It uses a single AA battery that lasts for months. - Matt -- 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]
Broadband in bunbury?
Hi everyone I am compulsorily being moved to Bunbury for 6 months - I was wondering what broadband (preferably ADSL 2+) is available? Will be very close to bunbury hospital. Sadly my three mobile broadband appears to have *zero* coverage in bunbury. I think I will go mad without high speed internet access :-P TIA Dave Choy -- 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]
