PC 100/133 memory
I have recently been donated a lot of eMacs and four PowerMac G4s by a Perth publishing house. I am most grateful for this kind donation. Once reconfigured, they will eventually all go to needy folks. Unfortunately all the machines have only one stick of 256Mb RAM. I am hoping that listers may have some of this RAM in the shed gathering dust and may be willing to donate it to this cause. I have plenty of the DDR RAM used in later models. I have plenty of 32 and 64Mb sticks of either PC100 or PC133 RAM, but nothing larger to enable these machines to effectively run 10.3 or 10.4. Second hand PC133 RAM is very expensive. Once again I can assure listers that the machines from this project are given absolutely free to needy people. To date I have placed around 30 Macs in homes and organisations and have seen the results bearing fruit. regards Kevin 94183869 -- 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:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: iPhone 3G S - Telstra Plans
Hi Ronni, I live in Denmark! Beautiful place. If I'd known you were in town I would have loved to catch up for a coffee (or chai latte!). (I extend the invitation to any WAMUGgers who visit either Denmark or Albany - where the shop is...) I used to live up at the top of Mt Shadforth (about 3kms up the road from Chimes) and the mobile towers are at the top there near 'The Lookout'. When I had CDMA it always dropped out going up the hill and I had no coverage near Chimes/Karri Mia. When I switched to Vodafone I had coverage. The rep was 'kinda' right - it has more to do with the 'hills and valleys' and placement of towers than proximity. But lets face it, who wants to have mobile phone coverage when you're being pampered at Chimes. At least I hope you were being pampered!

Re: iPhone 3G S - Telstra Plans
Hi Ronni, Not sure if anyone answered this. In short - No. An unlocked Phone is just that. The locked phones essentially just have a security code that will only allow SIMs from that carrier. To unlock it, you just have to know the code to enter. With some phones that is easy, with others you need specific software. We used to unlock phones for people for a small fee, or if they were switching to Vodafone we would do it for free. In general, the prepaid phones will be locked to a carrier because they subsidise the cost of the handset, so they want to make sure they get a return in calls.

Re: iPhone 3G S - Telstra Plans
Hi Stuart, I agree Denmark is one of the most beautiful spots and where The Chimes is situated is just Magic. It is so relaxing and beautiful there, its where I go to Get away from the Stress! They do look after you well ... too well ... it's a hard place to leave. Not having mobile coverage at Chimes certainly was not an issue for me ;-) The problem was they have Wireless Network Connection ... next time I am NOT taking my 17 MacBook Pro with me!

I have heard that 3 Mobiles will be very good. In regard to your time frame, if your existing contract comes to an end on July 30, you can choose to continue to pay monthly without committing to another contract. Carriers do use the end of contract time to 'coerce' you into signing a new contract, and sometimes it is worth it if they throw in a discount or free handset. The last Telstra contract I had I left running for about 3 months after then end before switching to Vodafone. The main reason was that they left it until the last month of my contract to tell me I could save money on a lower cost plan when they could have switched me over 6 months earlier!

Re: Connecting to Airport Extreme - now backup
Yes, only if reported. Be interesting if they issued her with the same mobile number once she gets the new USB dongle. I'm aware they do this for mobiles while tracking the IMEI number.

You are saying anybody can connect to their network for free ! Unlikely ! Basically, if the sim card were stolen and not reported or the mac address was duplicated on their network you could get away with downloading freely at the expense of anybody but yourself. Not a very secured device. I dread the day the device goes missing... Or pinched. A friend of mine who has an account with 3Mobile Broadband had her house broken into and her Laptop 3Mobile USB Dongle (Modem) stolen. She reported it stolen to 3Mobile and they immediately put a block to prevent further use. Virgin Mobile would do this also I imagine. Cheers, Ronni Understandably DSL and cable have different login procedures. 3G is different and convinced that it could be sharable through an Airport base station with USB sharing (3G ONLY).

The USB port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is only for connecting USB hard drives flash drives, printers, or hubs. The USB modem will not work. You might be able to share your Internet in a different way. Connect the computer that has the USB dongle by Ethernet to the Airport Extreme and share the Internet in that way to another computer.

Yes, it is a shocking situation to have to cope with. Unfortunately she is a Windows User and refused all my warnings about having current backups of her important data. She was convinced she did not need backup So she lost everything and she was particularly devastated about loosing all her photos. After speaking with her, she told me that she had only the day before the robbery deleted all the same photos from the computer she uses at her work. So I got her to ask work if I could come in and run a software recovery program on her work computer and see if I could recover her deleted photos. They said I could try, but they did not think I would be able to as someone else had used the computer since she deleted the photos. The computer had been shutdown and restarted quite a few times. Well, she was very lucky, I ran the recovery program on the work computer and recovered all her deleted photos. Which I now have on an external drive also burnt her a DVD. She was overjoyed that she had all her photos back, they were more important to her than the rest of her data. I only hope she now realises how important it is to have a current Backup! Her Laptop has not been recovered. She is waiting on her Insurance Company to replace it.

Re: Transparent Stripe down RHS of desktop
Hi, for some strange reason it has disappeared, this morning. But what it was, was only on the desktop. No other open window was effected. Ran top to bottom on the RHS you could see the desktop picture underneath it, but just in this area it was as if a layer had been placed over the desktop picture with an opacity of about 20%. Maybe the logging out overnight may have done it, my other daughter said something about Photobooth, but we have been trying to replicate this morning and can't, typically. Anyway thanks to all for your help.

Having trouble interpreting this description. Do you mean there is a dark stripe that covers all windows and the menubar, or that it floats between the desktop icons and applications, or that it is actually the desktop background that's affected? Is it similar in appearance to the Dock or is it quite different? Try going into System Preferences Accounts Login Items and remove anything that shouldn't be there, then try logging out or restarting. Does that make a difference?
