Mac security
I have often heard it said that you can't REALLY secure your computer - just make it less easy for non-experts to access things.

Re : Mac security
Hi Neil, Just a warning about File Vault (which your below article suggests people use), if people are using Time Machine for backup. File Vault Time Machine don't play well together. Time Machine will only back up your FileVault when you log out. If you don't log out, you don't get backed up. It's best to put sensitive files in an encrypted disk image instead. FileVault is major overkill for most people, and a source of all kinds of potential problems and hassles. You cannot restore a couple of files from your TM backup if you have File Vault on! It is not a possibility when you use FileVault. Time Machine can only restore an entire home folder when you're using FileVault. It cannot access individual files within the backup. Just though I should mention this.

Wireless Modem
Hi all My son is giving me an iPad (wiFi plus 3G) for my birthday this week (it's a biggie! 8-D). It'll be great because I'm having to spend about 90% of my time on the bed with foot elevated atm, have only a pretty old lappie. I haven't used wireless connections at all before, so pretty clueless on this. I'm with Westnet, so far using the ethernet modem/router they supplied (no problems experienced). I also have 3 Internet Power Point (pick up the internet connection in a different room through an ordinary wall power point). He wants to go shopping this week for a wireless modem for the iPad. My questions are: (1) Can you get a modem which combines both wireless ethernet (so I can go on using non-wireless gear). (2) Any suggestions as to the best modem to purchase for this combination? Or just for a wireless modem if the combination isn't possible. Cheers ..

Re: Wireless Modem
Hi Barb, You say your existing ethernet modem/router is working well and has given you no problems and that (until the promise of a new iPad) you weren't planing on using a wireless network. In your situation, I wouldn't bother getting a wireless modem (which Apple doesn't make) - I would just get a wireless base station (which Apple does make). The AirPort Extreme is probably overkill for you - since the Airport Express should do everything you need: http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB321X/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes Being Apple, it is very easy to set-up and you also have the options (but only if you want to) of plugging a USB printer into it (for wireless printing) or connecting it to your stereo and streaming your iTunes music from your computer to your stereo. Even though my billion ADSL/VOIP router does have wireless capability it is old and didn't play well with my Macs if I tried to turn on WPA security - I could have persevered (updating modem firmware, etc) but I had an Airport Express and found it much easier to turn off the wireless on the Billion modem and just set-up a wireless network with the Airport Express. Just my 2c worth ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Peter, This would not surprise me as Apple have licensed the ability to run MacOS X Server in a virtual machine (VMware or Parallels) for at least several years now the only restriction being the virtual machine client needed to be running on Apple-based hardware. There is nothing stopping Apple from removing this restriction so MacOS X Server could be virtualised on any hardware. Personally I don't think Apple will license MacOS X Server to other server manufacturers don't think they wish to support all the available hardware that these manufacturers want to use. But they may release it to manufacturers OR sell it themselves with a list of supported hardware requirements What most likely is going to happen is Apple is happy with the Mac Mini Server as it satisfies most people's needs in small to medium businesses and in home use. the MacPro Server for users that need a little bit more and Final Cut Server users, Leaving the high-end server market to other manufacturers.

At home our Mac-Mini Server is our iTunes Library, Plex, and Front Row whilst being the OS X server device. Before this we had a Mac-Mini which I activated daemons so it does act as per server a lot more work but very much possible. Daemons are in the install just not accessible through GUI, administrative software missing also but available through other outlets if look-create..

Mail to Outlook formats
Hi all, I work exclusively on a Windows (XP) laptop which uses Outlook by my employer so I am necessarily saddled with it's burdens. I often receive email from Mac users who use Mail and I've noticed some things about the format of the incoming emails from this users. If the Mac user has their compose attribute set to Rich Text and they send an email with SIMPLE text (ie no bold, colouring, italicising, etc) then the email I receive is seen as Plain Text. However, if that same user with the same compose attributes send an email with some form of Bold, Italics, Underlining or colouring etc, then it will be seen as Rich Text and it properly presents as formatted by the sender. This is ok, but Plain Text wraps the line after about 100 characters and if the line wrap happens to be part way through a web link (sometimes URL's quite long) then the link gets chopped at the line break and subsequent attempts to launch the link fail as you'd expect. Is this experience unique to me or have others seen this phenomenon? Also, I received an email from another trusted Mac user, and the first 10 or so words are included on the fist line, then all text stops - midway through a word usually. The received email contained a PDF (relating to the subject of the email) and also an htm attachment. The htm attachment contains the remainder of the wording for the email content that should have come after the 10 or so words that were represented. This is very strange. Does anyone know why Mail/Outlook does this?
