Hi Warren & Severin,

If you use Google Earth v4.3.7, you can get Street View of an  
Address.

Type in the Address (or if you have addresses in 'My Places').
Go to the Address
and then Under Layers  - tick 'Street View' and it will take you  
to the address and then you click a camera.


My goodness, my sister who lives in Melbourne was actually home on  
this day  which is unusual

I was out at my Address  which is unusual  ;-)

Hello Alastair,

There have been problems reported with Google Maps and Safari 1.3.2. 
Seems Google has changed/upgraded its web code.
The only work-arounds at the moment are use another Browser such as 
Firefox for the Maps, or upgrade to Tiger or Leopard.


As software code continues to evolve, Safari 1.3.2 is becoming more 
dated. Instances such as these in Safari 1.3.2 will become more 
frequent in the year ahead, especially as various sites adopt more 
advanced code.

Hi Rod

I've ordered some cases in for myself and some clients.
There are plenty around.

Have a look at the following links for more info:-




  (Under iPhone cases)


Should be something there you like. :o)
(If you do want something let me know I can order it in for you if you
wanted it.).

Hope that helps.

Hello Rick,

"The default interface for Mail signatures allows you to do rich text  
signatures using the fonts and colors palette. You can even drag an  
image into the compose signature window and it will be included in  
every email as an attachment. This is fine for most people, but  
attachments should be just that, an attachment of a file I am sending,  
not an image in my signature."

Re: MS Word page numbers - change when saving as pdf ??

[Erwin Chan]

Yep, its a bug for me too.

Did you insert the page footer under the "Autotext"? If so, you can  
try deleting the "total page number" text field and add it back in via  
the "header&footer" toolbar.  It should work now.

Subject: MS Word page numbers - change when saving as pdf ??
From: Steven Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Anyone know what might be causing this? I'm using Word 2004 with  
Leopard
10.5.4. If I include page numbering on a Word document in the form  
'Page X

of Y', despite working okay within the Word document, it doesn't flow
through properly to the pdf.

For instance, I have a 3-page Word document now displaying Page 1 of  
3, Page
2 of 3, and Page 3 of 3 on the respective pages. Save to pdf, and  
the page
numbering of the pdf changes to Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, and Page 3  
of 3.


Any clues?

I'm finding Leopard pretty buggy so far!

Cheers, Steven

On 04/08/2008, at 12:42 PM, Neil Houghton wrote:

Hehe... Sorry -SuperDuper gets so much coverage on the list, there  
is a

tendency to assume that everyone knows all about it.

Basically, SuperDuper is shareware back-up software:



The description pretty much tells you all about it. You can download  
a free
trial and it will let you make a bootable "clone" of your hard drive  
to an

external disk.

"Clone" just means that the back-up is essentially (functionally) a
duplicate of the hard drive of your machine.

"Bootable" means that you can actually boot-up your computer and run  
it from
the external disc - so that if your computer's hard drive actually  
fails,

you can be up and running from the clone.

This is the simple version and there are limitations regarding the
types/formating of external disks for use with different Macs  
(depending on
both OS version and processor). If you search the WAMUG mailing list  
archive
against SuperDuper you will find many posts discussing all this and  
more!


For $27.95 you can updgrade to the full, paid version - which  
unlocks extra
features of SuperDuper. I personally think that it is worth it just  
for the
"Smart Update" feature - which really saves a lot of time if you  
have a lot
of data to back-up. Most people download the free trial, which is  
all you
need to make a bootable clone, but after using it a couple of times  
they pay
to upgrade just to unlock the extra features (particularly Smart  
Update).


It is pretty universally praised on most Mac sites/forums and the  
only time
I have had any problems is when my data grew to be nearly as big as  
the
external hard drive. At this point Smart update failed as it sorts  
of needs
some extra space to work in as it compares files for updating. I  
quickly

bought a larger backup disk to cover this, but in the meantime I just
switched the Smart update off so that the external hard drive was  
erased and
the whole hard drive recopied every back-up. This maintained my  
peace of

mind while waiting for the new disk - but was very slow!

Anyway, checkout their website, download the free trial and have a  
play!

Neil, sounds interesting, but I'm afraid I don't follow you. What's a
SuperDuper clone?

Cheers, Steven

Hi Steven & Ronni

Of course if you go the "belt & braces" of Time machine for the  
archiving
backed up by a SuperDuper bootable clone for disaster recovery,  
your clone
would fulfil the "backing it up in some other way" and would be as  
current

as your last SuperDuper clone.

As mentioned on previous posts, Virtual Machine files (ie  
Parallels or VM

Fusion Windows machine files) are also very large files which change
constantly (when you have the VM fired up) so they give the same  
problem -

and can be handled by the same solution.

Cheers


Neil
