If you restart the machine holding the trackpad button down it will eject the cd

Re: MacBook Pro won't start

[Craig Bruce]

depending on the model of macbook pro (the one with the silver keys) could 
possibly be a nvidia graphics issue which would be covered under a extended 
warranty program, would need to test for it though.

Re: iMac Problem

[Craig Bruce]

The error code mentioned is a fan sensor failure, the fan could still but 
running but would need to test on the bench. Would require either a new fan or 
a new logic board depending where the issue stems from, The hangs would be from 
the drive getting hot due to lack of cooling

Re: Sick Mac Mini Question

[Craig Bruce]

It does sound like a hardware issue due to the fact you are still getting 
panics from the dvd, ram is the most likely cause but there are many things 
that could cause it.
Fortunately ram is well priced these days if that is the issue..

Your always welcome to bring it down to us to diagnose if you get stuck

Hi Wamuggers,

Our iMac G5 20" took a swan dive recently. The display is still
working, but there is some kind of damage at the top of the screen
that shows two ink-blot style marks bleeding down from the top of the
screen. Below that damage there is a 2cm wide set of vertical lines
being displayed down the full height of the screen - almost looks like
a vertical split bar.

A 'screenshot' showing the damage is here:
http://om4.com.au/imac-g5-screen-damage/

Bottom line - can it be fixed? What is it likely to cost compared to
cost of a new iMac.

Re: Connecting Mac to Windows broadband modem.

[Craig Bruce]

Generally what you'd want to be looking for is adding a wireless router.
You could replace the broadband modem completely with one that also  
does wireless or add a wireless router like an airport extreme/express  
to add wireless to the existing modem

Hi all,

My iPhone 3G appears to have a issue with it's doc-connector. (Not  
communicating over USB, but is still charging. Have checked all  
cables and possible software issues with no avail). Similar issue  
has been reported online


Essentially the doc connector needs replacing, from what I can  
ascertain. The phone is still under warranty and ALSO has insurance  
with Optus.


After calling Optus I am informed that my iPhone needs to be sent  
away and will be returned in around a MONTH! AND the excesses  
involved may be up to $150 if it isn't a warranty repair.


After talking to the folks at Next Byte and Artref, they inform me  
that the only way to get iPhones repaired under warranty is by  
sending it through the network's repair arrangements.


I am contemplating getting an independent phone repair company in  
Perth to repair the doc connector for $185 which would likely be  
done overnight, but not covered by warranty.


I suspect someone on WAMUG has had to deal with repairing an iPhone  
and I would appreciate any advice. Being without my phone for a  
month is totally unacceptable, and it was for this reason I invested  
in insurance which appears to be a joke.


Cheers, James

Re: Macintosh software update

[Craig Bruce]

Ive had this sort of issue before where the machine keeps telling you  
over and over the network config has changed or it wont connect to a  
time machine etc
If you clear all your network config and re-enter them (if your using  
dhcp it should be automatic) it should fix it up.


note : only do this if you really having issues as it will wipe your  
network config!


Macintosh HD/Library/Preferances/SystemConfiguration

If you move  the files in there (to say a folder on your desktop) bar  
com.apple.boot and com.apple.powermangement that will clear all the  
network settings for all your interfaces


Restart the machine and open network prefs up and it should be all  
back to blank. Sometimes you might need to make a change to the config  
eg switch it from dhcp and then back and click save so it recreate the  
preferences file properly then give it a restart again. Has always  
fixed the problem for me :)

Hi Mac,

Has Peter tried downloading and running The Combo 10.4.11 overtop?
Make sure he downloads the correct version for his iMac:

PPC Combo version:

Intel Combo version:
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html

A couple of tips for Peter:

1. Before you install a System Update, ALWAYS repair permissions  
using Disk Utility.

  Then after the update is installed, repair permissions again.

2. Download & install the "Combo" version of a System Update.

If running the combo version over top & repairing permissions  
doesn't fix Software Update,

Peter could try Removing the Cache.db file from the folder:

Hello



I have been running the software updater on Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11
and it will not complete and says there is a networking error.
The progress bar moves about 5cms and then stops.

Is there anybody there who knows why this happens or any remedies.

Everything else works fine as far as my network connection is  
concerned

The software updater in Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11 does not seem to

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard

[Craig Bruce]

I totally agree with the replacing the router, There are many clients  
I go to see who are running old telstra speedstream modems or similar  
and moving to a belkin or a billion(somewhat more advanced) makes a  
big difference
With my own personal connection i connect at 4mbps with the standard  
settings and i can push that to over 8mbps on my billion by increasing  
the coding gain

Re: Small SL complaints

[Craig Bruce]

Hard drive making noises is not a good sign at all. Its generally the  
heads hitting the platter inside the disk which can sometimes be a  
precursor to the drive failing completely..
We can take a look at it for you or another other auth service rep..  
better safe than sorry. Also i'd do a back up asap if you have not

Re: isp?

[Craig Bruce]

I can only speak from personal experience but every time I go out to  
service some ones machine and they are using telstra they are getting  
very slow service (less than adsl 1 speeds)with very low caps(500mb)  
for double the price of what iinet offers for a adsl2+ with 5+gb caps.
I know they are not perfect but I would suggest them over telstra/ 
optus etc


Yeh iinet did buy out westnet and iinets service has gotten better  
since, i used to be a westnet boy myself many years ago

Hi Craig & everyone,

But doesn't iinet own Westnet? I have been with Westnet for many
years, but have not been happy ever since iiNet bought that wonderful
company. I think that this year will be my last with Westnet sad as it
may because I see that the 'old' Westnet is well and truly gone. I can
only blame iinet for this change in culture.

Everyone seem to enjoy running Telstra down, but virtually all the
people I know who are with Telstra have never bothered to move and are
happy to stay with them. Although I think they are a bit pricey.

My opinion and I hope to be corrected in this!!

I contacted Apple because I still have Apple Care on the

of prompting.


The "product specialist" discovered that indeed, there is not a  
way to export an album while retaining BOTH titles and sequence  
- it is a problem with how the program is structured. He was  
surprised that this was not possible - he said that it was  
possible back with iPhoto 4, but I can't remember that for sure.


He has contacted Cupertino to advocate for the feature being  
made available in any future upgrade. I was surprised that this  
product specialist was not already aware of the limitation -  
does that say something about the level of training?

What are  your recommendations for isp? It seems I need to change

I've been with Westnet for years..moved from dialup to broadband to  
broadband 2 (that was a mistake..the speed got slower!)
Moved 3 houses over  and continued with them because while prices  
were  bit up service was good.


However, service has slumpled ...you get to be in a queue these days,
and now when I want to change my plan I either stay in   
Unconditioned Local Loop (ULL) where the price jumps from $40 to  
$70 . Evidently this is an Optus line.

Or I 'm told I have to connect to Telstra,
Then re-connect to Westnet to get to use other plans..
With connection fees etc I'm going to be out of pocket and with the  
downtime..out of phone and internet connection for a couple of weeks.

HI List ,

Just sharing a little experience with you ..

Remember When

We struggled with the older Mac's , Dial up Internet and frreezing  
screens


when the latest Mac was something like a PPM 7600 with a whole 32 or  
64 Mb of Ram

the hard drive was 2 GB and you were lucky if you could burn a CD and
the operating system got to be a magical OS9 on a 200 Mhz cpu  ?

REMEMBER  

SO now that you have that scene firmly fixed in your mind's eye

FAST FORWARD

and try to imagine the same OS9 working on :-

Broadband
RAM 1 GB
Hard Drive 500 Gb
CPU  1.8 Ghz
on a G4

???  Imagine ???

Yep !   It goes like a rocket !

MAXstyle - Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Details & Friday Sale

[Craig Bruce]

Apple have announced that their new operating system upgrade Mac OS X  
10.6 Snow Leopard will go on sale this Friday the 28th of August !


Stock will be arriving at MAXstyle this Friday morning (via couriers).  
As soon as it arrives we will circulate another email to let you know  
that it is now available from our South Perth store.


Copies will be sold on a first in, first serve basis as initial  
quantities will be limited.


Prices as follows:
Apple Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Single User - $39.00
Apple Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Family Pack - $69.00
Apple Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard - Unlimited Client - $699.00

Also available is the new upgraded Mac Box Set including Snow Leopard,  
iWork '09 and iLife '09:

Apple Mac Box Set - Single User - $229.00
Apple Mac Box Set - Family Pack - $299.00

To help further celebrate Apple's launch of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow  
Leopard, MAXstyle have decided for Friday only to discount their  
entire range of Apple laptop and desktop computers by 5%. These will  
be sold on a first in, first serve basis but if we run out you will  
still be able to purchase with the discount on Friday and pickup when  
more stock arrives.


Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with  
hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box  
support for Microsoft Exchange. Apple engineers have refined 90  
percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X. Users  
will notice refinements including a more responsive Finder; Mail that  
loads messages up to twice as fast; Time Machine with an up to 80  
percent faster initial backup; a Dock with Exposé integration;  
QuickTime X with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view,  
record, trim and share video; and a 64-bit version of Safari 4 that is  
up to 50 percent faster and resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins.  
Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to  
7GB of drive space once installed. Snow Leopard requires a minimum of  
1GB of RAM and is designed to run on any Mac computer with an Intel  
processor. Full system requirements can be found at www.apple.com.au/macosx/specs.html


Hope to see you Friday !

Regards

I'm out of here. This is my last message until I install my copy of  
Snow Leopard  YES!


Some of the changes and enhancements to the Snow Leopard  
installation process are as follows:


	 Although Rosetta and Quicktime 7 are both included on the Mac OS X  
10.6 installation DVD, both are designated as optional installs by  
default. However, if Mac OS X 10.6 is being installed on a Mac that  
contains a registration key for Quicktime 7 Pro, the installer will  
install Quicktime 7 automatically.


	Options to "Erase and Install" and "Archive and Install" are no  
longer present in the Mac OS X 10.6 installer. According to those  
familiar with the software, this was done for convenience, so that  
users do not accidentally erase and install their Mac OS X 10.5  
Leopard partitions. However, "Erase and Install" remains available  
through Disk Utility, which is also included on the installation DVD.


	 If you need to reinstall 10.6, it automatically archives and  
installs for you.


	 A reinstallation will not affect your Mac OS X version number. In  
other words, reinstallation of Mac OS X 10.6 on a Mac that contains  
Mac OS X 10.6.1 (when it becomes available) will not overwrite any  
new components delivered by 10.6.1. So when the re-install is  
complete, you will still be running Mac OS X 10.6.1. This will save  
users considerable time.


	 There is no "Previous System" folder at the root level after  
reinstalling.


	 If a power outage occurs, installation will pick up from where it  
left off.


	 To prevent the Blue Screen error that plagued some users when  
upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5, a software compatibility check is  
included that has a list of known "bad" apps, and disables them.  
Those programs are moved to an "Incompatible Software" folder.


	  Unlike Mac OS X 10.5, you cannot install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow  
Leopard on computers where the hard drive reports a S.M.A.R.T.  
failure.


	 Installation initially triggers a large chunk of data to be copied  
from the installation DVD to the user's primary hard drive. The bulk  
of the installation is then managed from the hard drive, speeding up  
the installation process considerably. After a successful  
installation, that large chunk of data is automatically removed.


Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Craig

I've got the hosting all organised, it's just a matter of moving it  
over and
getting it working how we want it again. Which I'm sure we'll be

about tomorrow at the Committee meeting. Again, one of things we  
want to get
it right before we move everything and the mailing list goes down

Just finding the time to get it all organised as working 110+ hour

the moment, which makes it a bit difficult.

Hi Bob

Normally these messages wouldn't make it through. WAMUG used to
be a "plain

After a massive "server meltdown and possible cost blow-out",
there were
roughly two options. Close the whole WAMUG server down
completely never to
be seen again, or move it temporarily to another hosting spot.
Obviously
option two was the best option.
Once this happened, we lost things like the digest feature and
things like
non-plain text messages and attachments managed to slip through.
Hence why
we never saw them before and we do now.
Once we find somewhere for the server to go that isn't going to
cost an arm
and leg (and considering WAMUG doesn't have millions in the
bank) we will
see it revert to a "plain text list only" I'm sure.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

 all have 4gb ram and what amazed me was the result from  
the 2.2ghz


2.2ghz = 58mins
2.4ghz = 1hr 14
2.8ghz = 1hr 55mins

The DVD I used was called "The Cell"

I have been in contact with Garner and he suggested that I copy the  
DVD to the HD and then try from that, that was cool but all my disks  
have protection! so I borrowed a Bali DVD and did a test with that.


From the DVD it took 2hrs 1 min

From the HD 22 mins

What is interesting is the fact that the MacBookPros are getting  
slower in some of the things I want to do, mainly digitize my  
DVD's!!  I am now wondering wether to keep my old 2.2ghz as I was  
giving it to a family member


Garner said that there will be an update in the next few day for the  
optical drives in the new MacBookPro's, does anyone else have a new  
2.8ghz??

Hi

Today my MacBook pro 15" unibody late 2008 running MacOS10.5.7  
decided to stop charging the battery (only 20% charge). Computer  
works when plugged into AC but green light stays on all the time on  
the plug and not charging appears in the menu bar.


Have tried restarting, full shut down, disconnecting power and  
removing battery and resetting the system management controller as  
per <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411>  all to no avail.


Any suggestions before I trek off to the Apple shop?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

Very sorry but I'm going to be unable to attend tonight and give the  
demo on the apple tv. Unfortunately I have finally succumbed to the  
flu and I'm off work for a few days.
The doc said I should stay away from people for a few days so don't  
want to get you all sick!


Hope all goes well, I'll give you a demo next month or if you swing by  
the store i'll be happy to show you through

Hi muggers

All you iPhone-savvy people can switch off here, but for those who  
are still thinking about getting an iPhone, here's some feedback on  
my experience...


I'm new to smartphones, and I got my unlocked 32Gb 3GS iphone from  
Apple online store on July 11, opened it up, put in the SIM card  
from my 6310 Nokia, synced it through iTunes and away it went. The  
phone battery was even charged, which I didn't expect.


Played around over the next few days, downloaded some apps, made  
some calls, tried out the GPS, looked at websites, etc. Most of that  
was through the Wifi network at home, but some through the Telstra  
network and other Wifi networks that the phone found readily. The  
overall experience was superb, highly recommended.


Went away for the weekend with a bunch of friends to Banksia Springs  
near Dwellingup which is a mobile dead zone, and showed it off...I  
think I've sold three more now. Went for a walk in the bush and came  
within a weak signal range so used the GPS (which is excellent,  
although slow downloading).


Yesterday I got curious (and a little nervous) about the costs I was  
incurring so I went to the Telstra website, worked out how to access  
my account, found the page called 'my data' which has a neat little  
table showing every time the phone had accessed data. The table  
listed one line item where I'd spent $23.32 and about a dozen others  
between 50 cents and 2 dollars. Total, about $30. I thought, a well  
I can live with that. Then I noticed it was page 1, with a next  
button beside it. In fact there were 4 pages, totalling $116!!!


I searched the website and finally found that the mobile plan I was  
on ($30 a month) did not have a data component so I was being  
charged the GSM casual rate, which is 22c flagfall plus 2.2c/Kb.  
That's $22 a Mb!!! The phone says I've dowloaded 6.2Mb and uploaded  
550Kb, so there's a rough correlation.


So today I raced into Booragoon and bought a vodaphone SIM with a  
200Mb data package on a 6 month contract for $30/month, ported the  
number across and hopefully have stopped the bleeding. It works fine  
so far, so I'll see what the experience is like over the next little  
while


A key issue here is the number of times when the phone accessed the  
Telstra network while I was at home close to, but obviously just out  
of Wifi range. Is there a way to safeguard against inadvertently  
accessing the phone network if you don't want to?


And the moral of the story? Keep an eye on your useage, know what  
you're being charged and I can now understand those horrifying  
stories of people racking up hundreds of dollars without realising  
it. At $22/Mb it's not hard to do!


Cheers
Mike

well, the new screen is great and it doesn't seem to discolor with  
dirt at all.

Yep the nvidia issue is common on the silver macbook pro's and apple

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the offer but I live on the Gold Coast.

The tech over here checked it out and found the logicboard had gone.  
It is a known manufacturing problem with Macbookpro (google  
Macbookpro overheating).


Mine was 12 months out of warranty but Apple came to the party and  
replaced the logicboard at no cost.


I just had to pay the labour.

Re: Macbook battery

[Craig Bruce]

Hi Chris,

If your still under warranty or applecare then you can bring it in to  
us or any apple service centre and get the battery tested (you can get  
it done outside of warranty to just parts are not free).
If it fails or there is another problem apple will replace it if your  
covered. If not the cost of a new one is around 200 but i'd get it  
tested first before you go buying anything new

Hi muggers

I read the thread of about a month ago on replacement batteries and  
think I may need one but Im not so sure. My macbook pro (feb 08  
2.2ghz) just shuts down randomly, when it is not connected to the  
mains. It may have anything from 50 to 90% battery life in the menu  
bar! When I restart, there is still juice registering. Would this be  
another problem?


I have run the battery down to near zero a few times but it seems  
not to have made a difference


Any advice is very welcome

It's a bit annoying that the volume up/down doesn't work with

sound quality for music and phone calls, though.
Thanks for the various suggestions. Seems phone shops don't go in

Best place is where iPods are sold, apparently. I tried several

Re: Video card upgrade

[Craig Bruce]

iMacs were updated in march so you might be in for a bit of a wait  
there.. Yep the 4850 is the faster of the two cards but you'd need to  
do a custom build which is usually 5ish days

Thanks for that, I am hanging out for the next model iMac.  I notice  
that the current 24" has the following option:


Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512MB
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB

Am I right in presuming the ATI option will give the best performance?

Indeed video is not going to help out encoding speed as its down to

blazing encoding speeds

It's a bit annoying that the volume up/down doesn't work with  
iPhone. Must've been designed for voice memos on iPods. Decent sound  
quality for music and phone calls, though.
Thanks for the various suggestions. Seems phone shops don't go in  
much for iPhone accessories (ask for Apple ones and they look baffled)
Best place is where iPods are sold, apparently. I tried several  
without success, closest being Myer who had sold out.

This is very reassuring news.  The review said clearing a paper jam  
was difficult and might shorten the life of the printer if it  
occurred frequently.  It also said placing the CD was not straight  
forward - but I guess that comes with testing.

Thank you.
Merv

...An Epson inkjet would be my first choice and a likely product  
appeared to be the Epson Stylus Photo R290  (about $170), but  
reviews identified feed problems.  Anyone had good performances  
from other Epson photo quality printers, or an alternative Brand?


We bought an R290 mostly because of its ability to write on  
printable CDs. Its inks are expensive, but its performance has been  
fine - the printing quality is good and we have had no feed problems.

Re: mail messages corruption

[Craig Bruce]

In addition to what daniel said about the mail cache clearing the  
entire cache folder in users/user/lib/cache can fix quite a few  
issues, specifically boot issues is a good one. Just make sure you  
only delete the files/folders within that cache folder

Hi Bob

I know you said you deleted the Mail preferences, but did you also  
try

removing the following files as well:-
Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost
(take out com.apple.blahblahblahblah.plist) It will be a long file  
name.

And
Users/yourname/Library/Caches/
Take out folder com.apple.mail

Throw them on the Desktop and restart then see if it still happens.
Also, do you have any different Fonts in your Users/yourname/ 
Library/Fonts
folder that isn't in the "other" user. Could be picking up a  
corrupt font
there if you have some as well, that not in the other user when you  
create

it. Try temporarily removing them as well.

Worth a shot :)

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: mail messages corruption

[Craig Bruce]

What I usually do is pull the mail folder from users/user/lib/mail and  
stick that on my desktop then go and delete the com.apple.mail prefs  
in users/user/lib/prefs


open mail up recreate the account and then import the mail off my  
desktop


Though i know you tried something similar would be strange if it still  
did it after that

Hi Bob,

I have never experienced this.
The only other thing I can think for you to check is in Mail - under  
Format > Style  Styles - click Favorite Styles,

do you have Default "Left aligned, Spacing 1.0x"?

Definitely sounds like something wrong in your User Account settings.
You don't experience double line spacing in any other Apple  
Application, TextEdit for example, do you?


Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Ronni , but no !

I have compared all Mail preferences with Mail on another Mac
and they are identical !  The other is AOK this one faulty .

Also as I said , I strated another User and it was OK , preferences  
also identical .


I must have a damaged file somewhere in the specific USER .

I am going to look at hidden files for a possible culprit .

Re: new macbookpro ?

[Craig Bruce]

We don't have a 2.8 on demo, just the base model though it doesn't  
seem to exhibit the issue your having.

possibly try a re-install to make sure its not a software issue..

Hi Craig

yes I did run the updater and just checked and it is running at  
3gbs, thanks for the comment.


I ran a test with the same movie on the new one 4hrs!!! on the old  
one 1.5hrs so a huge difference.


I have checked the setting in Handbrake and its the same for both  
unless I have missed a hidden setting?  But I also copied across all  
the prefs for it from the old Macbookpro just to check.


I have ran xbench and it does come in faster than the old one at  
157.14 where the old one is 108.44 so its a little strange.


Do you have a new 2.8ghz there?

Re: iPhone 3Gs

[Craig Bruce]

traditionally all resellers obtain the iphones through a relationship  
with one of the carriers, with the news that apple will be selling  
them outright there is hope that they will come down the channel due  
to the lack of an apple store here in perth but there is no word on  
that all.. and trust me we have been trying :)

Whirlpool (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1228756 
)
in which numerous people have called the 5 different Apple stores  
and

been given the same story by the various staff there:

Outright Pricing (Unlocked for your carrier's pleasure)
$879 – 16GB
$1040 – 32GB

Which is well below the Vodafone price. I'll be curious to see how  
the
carriers react to this news. I'm hoping that Apple will also make  
them
available tomorrow on their online store, for those of us in the  
West
that can't just fly over East everytime we want to purchase  
Apple. :)

Windows will stay separate to os x, even if you do get a virus on the  
windows side you can just wipe it and start again. Any problems you  
get with the windows side will not effect os x. To be honest if you  
keep windows up to date and run some virus software you will be fine,  
It might not be pretty but it will do what you need to do.

Re: SOUTH PERTH RETAIL STORE

[Craig Bruce]

Sorry about the late reply on this we had a pretty hectic day on  
saturday!


We have no probs helping out anyone who needs it, Feel free to pass  
our contact details on to anyone.
Our rates are very respectable at $120 an hour so no need for anyone  
to loose an arm or a leg to get someone to help them out!


Also if people just need to ask a few questions I never have any  
problems with them coming down to the store and firing some at me

Hi Everyone,

Just sitting reading all your emails and comments about this newly  
opened store South of the River.
This is Irene writing, not Peter and I am an Administrator, not a  
computer expert.
Peter runs PIP Multimedia & Training and has done for over ten years  
whilst working full-time first at Curtin then teaching now at Corpus  
Christi College.


Unfortunately due to ill health and full-time teaching he is having  
to put his client training in mothballs as unable to visit so many  
clients who want help with Macintosh computer training programs and  
also problems.
We have been desperately trying to find someone who we could  
recommend his clients to and sincerely hope we can use Craig and his  
team.


His clients are mainly south of the river and yes it is very hard to  
find anyone this side, let alone north side, to have his clients  
call for assistance.  The cost factor is always a problem as some of  
these people are in their 70's and even 80's but come on, they need  
a go like everyone else.  Give them credit for even using a computer  
at their age.


Anyway I hope Craig and his team can see their way into helping some  
of these people without charging an arm and a leg for their  
services. The older people have just bought  new equipment so  
obviously still want to keep on computing with family overseas.


By the same token if any of you know someone who would take the time  
to go and see some of these clients please let me have your details  
and I will pass them on as requests for help come in.  A lot of  
requests are for basic things plus emails and internet connection so  
not brain consuming.


Sorry to have taken up so much of your time on this.

Irene

Without trying to weigh in on this,..or even be seen as "having a  
side",

just thought I would add something.

First off, hope your grand opening goes well tomorrow. Should have  
good

weather for it at least!  :o)

I know Peter Hinchliffe, the WAMUG president, does want to weigh in  
with a
couple of comments as well, but after he rang me today he has some  
email
problems posting to the list, so isn't able to "add his 2cents" just  
yet.
I don't want to be seen to say anything from either side, so I'm  
going to
try not to. I think there was an honest mistake made, perhaps with  
some

oversight, but I think we need to leave it be and move on.
Like the good ol' saying,.. "move on,..nothing to see here,..."

As a committee member I feel yes, perhaps there is something lacking  
in the
web information or even the "Welcoming email" for new joining  
members and we
need some clarification on postings, as well as commercial postings.  
I'm
sure from this of late, this is something we will look at at future  
meetings

and adjust.

As a corporate member I can see and understand where people have  
"Stood up"
to advise about the posting. When paid members are entitled to  
"Advertise"
for the yearly fee they pay, and yet we've had of late a lot people  
come in
advertising things without that sponsorship to wamug. Again, this  
may be an
oversight from the above point. And perhaps Craig's post was "the  
icing on
the cake". (Sorry Craig, you may have coped it from some of the  
"build up"

of late.)

As a business owner and Mac consultant I'm sure South of the River  
is happy

to see more retail stores. MacWizardry is not set up as a "9-5" retail
store. (Not at the present anyway. My consulting keeps me busy  
enough,..as
seen by some of my hours,..and add to that my 5month old  
son,...well,..never
enough hours in the day!) My niche market is something different. I  
source
my gear that my clients want and work under a different business  
model. So
as Martin pointed out, I'm not set up for retail. Never intended to.  
I'm "a

consultant with sales"...and longer hours! LOL.
With the David Jones, JBHiFi, Dick Smiths etc around, the more the  
merrier.
Each will have their niche, their markets, their "deals", their  
reasons why
people go there and not somewhere else. As they say "competition is  
always
good for business". I have a very loyal and great client base that  
has stood
with me over 8+ years of "MacWizardry".. And those that have dealt  
with me,
do so for particular reasons. As I'm sure the market Craig is after  
will

fill some gaps as well and go to him for particular reasons.

I didn't really want this post to be long, but it has.
Again, it's not my place to "call it", but I think that it's best  
that we

move on and "let sleeping dogs lie".
Hopefully this email has  not offended anyway. It's not intended too.

I just wanted to try and be as partial and unbiased as possible.  
(It's hard
wearing three different hats sometimes!) Plus, it's one of those  
emails, you

rewrite about 4 times before you send it,... :o)
(And it's too late for the ol' brain to click into gear properly. So  
you'll

have to excuse any spelling or grammatical errors).

So I (personally) think we're best to leave it here, welcome Craig  
to the
WAMUG list, hope it goes well for tomorrow, and we look forward to  
your
input to the Mac community, WAMUG and sponsorship as a corporate  
member) :o)

(The secretary will be pleased I'm working on drumming up funds) :o))

Apologies for the long post.


Enjoy all!

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: WAMUGers and word of mouth

[Craig Bruce]

Just as an addition to what i said in the last email.. The point I  
have been trying to make about us giving a better grade of service is  
due to the rise of the big stores like myer, jbs, dick smiths etc who  
are keen to give you a deal on the box but not so keen on helping you  
when it doesn't network with your exchange server.
Its not pointing out that the guys out there on the road now are  
anything but fantastic, in fact maxstyles other director has done  
exactly that for the last 6 years..

It seems convenient that now when you want to advertise your new  
business you find an interest in WAMUG.


You have achieved what you set out to do, FREE advertising and  
publicity!


We will now wait and see if you earn our respect as the WAMUG  
Corporate Members have done.


I've read your emails on Whirlpool <http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1215184.html 
> and find your reply to "Rushy" interesting.

I quote your reply below.
Start of Quote:
"We recently decided that with our experience, the rising popularity  
of apple and the lack of some great support and a place to go for  
someone to just help out with questions and have a chat with that we  
would move into the retail sector and hopefully fill that gap.."

End of Quote:

I certainly hope you were not denigrating the excellent support we  
receive from the likes of Daniel Kerr MacWizardry (who is a  
Corporate Member of WAMUG).


I will reserve my judgement.

Regards,

Ronni

Well if you want the full version I started way back in the day  
when I was young writing programs in hypercard and generally just  
playing at home/fixing apple and pc boxes personally until I worked  
at an isp about 15 years ago where with my mac experience was the  
dedicated "apple" expert as back then it was an even less common  
thing than it is now. After that I moved to a national marketing  
company where I was an it junior.


They were and still are 99% mac and at the time had 4 sites with  
about 150 macs/servers etc. I spent about 5 years and worked my way  
to system admin, got my system admin qualification from apple and  
worked on many different machines and setups from opi servers,  
proxys, routers, open directory, network homes, dhcp, dns etc etc etc


I then left and went to xerox where I was the resident mac expert  
for 10 months going to many many different places with many  
different issues and configs such as hospitals, uni's, schools and  
businesses.


After that I actually went back to my previous company as the  
national it manager. I was there for another 4 years and the  
company is now 10 sites 300+ macs, servers and all the supporting  
hardware etc


Now I'm a director of maxstyle with my partner rob (no not in that  
way) and we are hoping to provide a great service and retail  
experience to the wa mac community.


We decided to do this as we really thought that there has been a  
big hole in perth for a long time with mac service and sales (not  
to offend anyone doing sales or service), anyone can go into a big  
retail store but the service/support really is just not the same as  
what we think we could do ourselves and what the "apple" experience  
should be.


Rob has a similar background but has actually been out on his own  
(as a reseller/service provider) after being an it manager for 8  
years for the last 6 years under a different company name mainly  
dealing with corporate clients in sales/service


We also have a few people who help us out with admin and a few in  
training hopefully to come on board if things go well



Hope thats enough.. there is plenty more detail I could chuck in I  
guess but I dont think you want my life story :)


As a note.. I personally have no problem in donating
