Re: Emac went dim
That's Ok Sam LOL, it takes all on a mailing list. ;-) I growl at my students at school for using our school blog as a chat and then sending sms-type blog messages to comment on our contributions, and I'm poderating it all. (Actually that is a typo, should have been 'moderating', but I like it considering the need to get with the 10-12 year olds of the ict literati we're now working with at school and needing to teach them appropriate language use and grammar in all the various forms in our 21st century world). Gone are the days of 'Proper English Grammar' as our only SAE (Standard Australian English) , as taught to me by the Jesuits. My goodness, many of them were Irish or European anyway; not to mention the mixed speech of we city kids v our country boarding school mates (Perth ~ 1960s), and today's rather lovely examples of Aboriginal English. Good luck with Superduper, CCCloner etc. Reg/ Dad On 17/02/2010, at 7:22 PM, malcolm Tate wrote: Maybe a good idea Peter, My kids are at school, and I still don't have a clue!

Re: Iphone bicycle mount
Thanks for the suggestion Mike, Rang them and no go, so perhaps I will indeed need to buy from Singapore as per Rod's advice. ;-) -Mart On 17/02/2010, at 10:48 AM, Mike Armson wrote: G’day Mart Fleet cycles in Freo would be a good starting point for the mounting.

Re: iPhone mic not working well
My wife has just bought a 16g 3gs and when she is talking to someone the person has trouble hearing her. It's like she is distant; very quiet. Now I don't know if she has wet the mic accidently but I don't think so. She has also been experiencing drop outs. She is with Optus on a $79 plan. Ok, so I swapped phones with her (I have a 16g 3g) and now I am experiencing the same things. Any suggestions?

The mic is on the bottom right hand side (Speaker is the other grille on bottom left). It's not being obscured by a finger, or a case at all is it! You haven't put the call on Speakerphone? Re the Dropouts. 1. Reseat SIM card by removing from iPhone and placing it back in and then test 2. Call carrier and ask if they are working on your area.
