Re: Email servers etc - I need some ideas

[Steven Knowles]

To all who have commented (Steve, Rob, Rob, Matthew) - much  
appreciated. Have been considering your comments closely. And Google  
certainly sounds like it might be worth a run. I haven't heard anyone  
come up with a good reason NOT to use Google yet.


Thanks again all.

Cheers, Steven

Morning All,

Pending on your Corporate Computer Security planning (intranet,  
internet or extranet) and laws, I find it very hard to go pass  
Google as Steve suggested. But be very careful in checking these  
laws based on your business model and corporate responsibilities.


Accessibility from anywhere via any device including mobile, cost  
factor is extraordinary - FREE.
Construction cost zero - time very fast for such a network, as is  
experience level required.
Domains are transferrable, meaning email names are in accordance  
with your corporate identity.
Apps (Calendars, notes, etc) available online, very hard to beat as  
these are accessible from just about anywhere.


Suggestions Google passing on your information I find this statement  
very pessimistic except to say commissions for what recommended. But  
if one feels it is an issue introduce a Corporate wide GPG key for  
email very simple to initiate as all mail clients have some form  
off. To be frank and honest if your corporate information is of such  
a secure nature then this should already be in place, as others can  
leach easier than Google can remove from their servers. Google mail  
has encrypted mail servers meaning all your mail travels both  
directions via an encrypted secure port.


Further information or ideas please feel free to contact me direct.

Cheers!

Steven,

I'd suggest Google Apps for business.

Ticks all the boxes in your list - including using your own domain  
name, archiving of all corporate messages, and IMAP accounts of up  
to 25GB per user.  Price is hard to beat too!

iinet imap

[Susan Hastings]

Hi, I found out accidentally (setting up an account in Outlook whilst here
in China), that iinet have an imap account facility that lets you send as
well as receive in your email application from any isp. I've since set it up
in mail on the Macbook Air. Outlook finds the setting for the account
automatically, which is why it was an accidental discovery from my point of
view.

Given that my .mac (mobile me) imap seems unreliable for sending, this is
very useful.

Cheers, Susan.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Next WAMUG Meeting (for those who came in late)

[Peter Hinchliffe]

The next General Meeting of WAMUG will be held on Tuesday, 4th  
November 2008 (Melbourne Cup Day) at FutureSphere, the dedicated  
Macintosh facility at Christ Church Grammar School in Claremont.  
Access is easiest from Queenslea Drive, Claremont. For more details  
visit   
and .


The meeting will commence at 7:30pm, and following our customary  
Welcome to New Visitors and Q&A Session, Geoff Alagoda, the head of IT  
at Christ Church, will talk to us about FutureSphere and its role in  
IT education at the school.


Following Geoff's talk, well-known WAMUG list contributor Gary Dorn  
will show us what Google's popular 3D architectural drawing program  
SketchUp can do in the hands of a professional. He will also talk  
about CAD software on the Mac in general.


Thirdly, we will have a new MacBook to show and demonstrate, and which  
will be available for examination by attendees.


The meeting will finish with wine and cheese (and soft drinks, of  
course, for those who prefer them).


In order for the night to be a success, we will need a clear  
indication of those who will be attending to we can get the catering  
numbers right. If you are able to attend the FutureSphere meeting,  
please simply reply to this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Domain Name problem

From memory white. But I think this is getting OT except that I used  
a Mac Plus back then, then a Classic, so probably that was stress  
relief from sailing. ClarisWorks was such a wonderful program, and  
still is. So simple to use and it did so much,

Hi All

Have a look at http://www.southaustralia.com/EyrePeninsulaNullarbor.aspx

From one who was educated by the Jesuits, put the Latin 'nullus'  
and

arbor' together for 'no'  'tree'.


Latin is a bit of a sore point with me! At Grammar school, I was  
selected
into the "bright" stream and had to sit through the Latin classes  
whilst my
"dull" mates were building a Mirror sailing dinghy in the  
carpentry class!


I have to say, I hardly felt privileged by the selection!



Perhaps we now have 'Nullus Arbor', or 'Null' Arbor', or  
'Nullarbor';

and then the language could degenerate further to 'N'arbor' or
even ... NAB?


Yes, well, as a NAB shareholder, I must concede that the amount of  
trees
that must go into their annual reports and other paperwork  
generated could

well qualify them for the alternative expansion of NAB!


Sorry for hijacking your thread Adrian!


Have fun,


Neil

Hehe,

Well it's changed from Nullabore to Nullabor - so now it's

However, as John said, I always thought the strictly correct
spelling was
Nullarbor (as in - no trees).

However, Nullabor does also seem to be in common usage.

Google gives:

247,000 hits for Nullarbor

92,300 hits for Nullabor

Take your pick  :)

Really !  With the red sails ?

We built one of the first in WA while at Bunbury

I had to wait until married with 3 kids to do that up here in Gero,  
but it was more patching one as my daughter Sam tended to lean on  
the other craft with "Legend" as she raced around the course. She  
would have made a great V8 Supercar driver. Seriously though, I  
scored 26% in Leaving Latin so that probably ruled me out of the  
priesthood, and the guys who didn't do Latin did Economics, left  
school after Junior, became bankers and now are multi-millionaires!

Hi All

Have a look at http://www.southaustralia.com/EyrePeninsulaNullarbor.aspx

From one who was educated by the Jesuits, put the Latin 'nullus' and
arbor' together for 'no'  'tree'.


Latin is a bit of a sore point with me! At Grammar school, I was  
selected
into the "bright" stream and had to sit through the Latin classes  
whilst my
"dull" mates were building a Mirror sailing dinghy in the carpentry  
class!


I have to say, I hardly felt privileged by the selection!



Perhaps we now have 'Nullus Arbor', or 'Null' Arbor', or  
'Nullarbor';

and then the language could degenerate further to 'N'arbor' or
even ... NAB?


Yes, well, as a NAB shareholder, I must concede that the amount of  
trees
that must go into their annual reports and other paperwork  
generated could

well qualify them for the alternative expansion of NAB!


Sorry for hijacking your thread Adrian!


Have fun,


Neil

Hehe,

Well it's changed from Nullabore to Nullabor - so now it's
consistent across
your site.

However, as John said, I always thought the strictly correct
spelling was
Nullarbor (as in - no trees).

However, Nullabor does also seem to be in common usage.

Google gives:

247,000 hits for Nullarbor

92,300 hits for Nullabor

Take your pick  :)


Cheers

Advertising Web Services

[Lloyd White]

I have a website which sells my book. I have been approached by a firm
called Advertising Web Services. Contact phone numbers in USA, France and
Australia. 

They appear to be linked to Google Ads. Of course they claim to be able to
increase my "clicks" etc. Of course I would like this but I am naturally
suspicious about paying anyone US$59  a month for anything.

Has anyone one had any experience with these or similar people? Or can
anyone recommend local people who can do this sort of thing? Optimising is
the word I think.

So it wasn't the Dutch who were first here to teach LOTE? Those Romans  
beat them to it!

Thanks all for the input.  Only some of my family can access the  
site, it seems to vary with the ISP--those on Westnet appear to be  
in the majority of those who cant access it.  I will post the  
solution when found.


On the matter of the Nullabor typo, I believe it is an aboriginal  
name and I don't think they were big on Latin.
