system disks - free to a good home
I was having a cleanup recently and found 8 system disks (floppies) for an LC475 Mac. This was one of the nicest looking Macs ever made. If anyone has an LC 475 or similar, the disks are yours if you want them.

Re: An iMovie6 problem
try this make the stills 12s long !!before you put them into the timeline!! place them into the time line but then shorten them on both sides! by 1s, push them together apply the fade effect. for a proper fade you need 'blind' beginning ends which will 'overlap' thus enable to start the fade smoothly no black spot in the centre if the fade is longer you need longer blind parts a still should be show time (10s) plus 2x effect time (2s) in your case 12s or 8s show time 2x 1s effect time = 10s hope that helps James On 24/03/2009, at 14:17, Severin Crisp wrote: It is just an almost instant flick on off.

Strange behaviour
I can't use Mail but fortunately have just discovered that I can use Westnet directly.So here goes. My problem is that the Mail window has somehow been minimised without its icon appearing on the RH end of the Dock. Clicking Mail in Applications or in the Dock brings only the Menu Bar to the Desktop. Quit Mail does nothing. Shutting down the computer (2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.6) is only possible by Force Quit of Mail. When it is restarted, Mail is still open but only the Menu Bar is available as before. While vainly searching for the cause and a solution, I discovered that the computer, in its wisdom, had cancelled the accounts with Westnet and “re-listed” only one of them with an ISP cancelled a year or so ago! This has been fixed but Westnet support couldn’t help with the Mail problem. They suggested that maybe the computer needs servicing. I have recently run Cocktail so the housekeeping should be OK. The Mac is about 15 months old. What do you think?

harddrives.
I was reading an article recently about toshiba's new 1.8 harddrive (these are the ones that go in ipods and I believe the macbook air), they have just released a 120GB version and a 240 Gb version. The part numbers are MK1231GAL (120 GB version) and MK2431GAH ( 240 GB version). I don't suppose anyone knows where these can be purchased in Australia. The few places I can see to purchase in the US require a US credit card and mailing address?

Re: Strange behaviour
Hello Ian, Am I correct in understanding your problem ... You cannot see the viewer window and Mail Application has to be Force Quit? If this is what is happening in your Mail Application, try this let us know how you get on: 1. Quit Mail -Force quit Mail if necessary: From the Apple menu, choose Force Quit, select Mail in the Force Quit window's list of applications, then click Force Quit. 2. From the Finder's Go menu choose Go to Folder. Go to this location (type or paste the following, then click Go): ~/Library/Mail ( ~ is an abbreviation for your Home folder) 3. Move the items named MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup to another location, such as your desktop. 4. Open Mail. Note: At this point you can either set your Junk Mail settings and re-create your Mail rules manually in Mail preferences, or follow the next two steps (if you re-create rules and Junk settings, do not perform the following steps ... End after step 4) 5. Quit Mail. 6. Place the items named MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup back in the ~/Library/Mail folder (replace any copies that were added to ~/Library/Mail when you opened Mail).
