Re: 3 Sim card
That's twice I've seen a reference to APN regarding the use of other sims in an unlocked phone. For the benefit of this less SIM-savvy wamug'er could you please explain what APN is all about. Could this APN stuff be the answer to why I can't get onto the web on my unlocked (UK purchased) Samsung phone, as it only lists UK based WAP providers. I've been through all the settings and can't see how to enter local (ie Optus) WAP details. At least I know my iPhone won't have this problem when it eventually arrives.

Sleepy G5 tower
Often when I try to wake up my 1.8G G5 tower from sleep it goes through the processes then quickly goes back to sleep like a person not wanting to get up for work when their alarm clock goes off. If I quickly press the mouse button when it's in the process of going back to sleep it wakes up properly but if I let it go back to sleep completely the same thing often occurs. I've had this issue for quite some time but thought it might get fixed without me having to do anything since I'd read there were some sleep issues with 10.5. I used to use my music on my mac for an alarm clock but can't due to the unreliable wakeup issue and now that I've just bought an eyetv it'd be nice to be able to schedule recording without having to leave my computer turned on.

MS Office 2008
Thank you to James, Greg, Robert, Reg, Barry, Susan for your comments on alternatives to MS Office 2008 and also what glitches can occur with Office. I have gone down the path of downloading Neo Office and making an appropriate donation. Opened several Word documents without a problem but had to seek advice from James with one that I found tricky. Resolved and all well. I don't find Neo Office as intuitive as Mac applications but of course a large part of that is familiarity. With practise I hope to open its secrets. Thank you all.

I think that was a penny a call, not a florin (almost the same size in the opening, much to my Mum's fear). When I was in Nasho's in Sydney in '72 we knew a few booths that would get us 5c STD calls back home to Perth, if we knew how to use them well! There was one at Circular Quay that was free.

Interesting stuff. Well I reckon 'old farts' probably know a lot more about a lot of things than 'younger farts'. However, I do remember those A and B buttons as a young kid, forgetting to push the button (was it A or B ...) and yelling down the phone to no effect (exasperating or foolish!?). Cheers Shapelle Hehe Though, to be fair, Powerwatch seem to be in the business of telling you how bad EM fields are and then selling you stuff to monitor/protect you: Mobile phones are bad! http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/rf/phones.asp EMFields has been established to provide high quality measurement equipment and screening products to protect people from the ever-increasing levels of Electromagnetic radiation, or electrosmog, in our environment. http://www.emfields.org/ So Willau-Tronic would be a competitor to EMFields which seems to be closely aligned to Powerwatch. Personally, I'm amazed that in Australia we have more mobile phone subscriptions than people! - and I'm probably more concerned about the social aspects than the radiation/medical effects - but then I am an old fart!... When I were a lad, WE never had a phone in the house... You had to walk down the road to the phone booth and play with Button A and Button B Cheers Neil (living dangerously in front of his 24 iMac, next to his DECT cordless phone!) -- Neil R.

They counteract the electromagnetic waves emitted from the phone (without interfering with its operation). Willau-Tronic, a company based in Germany, have produced such a chip (E-Smog Handy chip). It is a small bit of circuit with a chip, and is fashioned so you can attach it to the battery of the phone. I do notice a difference with a chip attached. There are other organisations that produce safety devices to attach to mobile phones. Google might be able to help,there. The first mobile phone chip I ever got was for my niece (then seven years old) who had just got a mobile phone so she could keep in touch with her Dad. I'm not sure if there are still distributors in WA or not. There used to be several individuals who sold them. Willau-Tronic makes chips for computers too. I use one on my Mac 24 computer and the screen/computer no longer gives me a headache. Anywise, as there are people that make these wonderful inventions it would seem there are also people who make inventions so they are safe to use.

iphone
Hi All, Does anyone know of anywhere in Perth that currently have the 16GB iphone on a pre-paid deal? I had my name down at All Phones and when I called them this morning to get an update they advised me that they are filling their contract reservations first and therefore it will be a few months before they can begin to sell the pre-paid versions :( Adam. -- 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]
