Re: Set Top Box updates
Thanks to everyone for your replies on the STB issue. As usual, what I'd like to buy and what the budget will allow don't quite coincide! But you've given me plenty to think about. Thank you. Keith Feltham
Set Top Box updates
Our family are considering purchasing a Set Top Box in an attempt to improve the fringe-signal ghosting and snow that currently constitutes our TV picture. Most models advertise that they can be firmware updated for increased functionality, and they all say the same thing: Just download the .exe file, connect the RS232 to your computer's COM 1 port ... [Sigh] The joys of 2% market share. So how is everyone else dealing with this? Thanks.
Re: Quicktime 7 Issues?
One really cool feature is dictionary as standard, highlight word then command + control + D and their ya go. Where ya go? To the New Oxford American Dictionary? Or is Tiger outside the U.S. fitted with a dictionary that can properly spell?
Re: Odd startup behavior

I then get the pizza wheel of death for a considerable period of time (2-3 minutes +) before all the icons appear and I can get down to business. Try deleting fontTablesAnnex. I read somewhere that update 10.3.6 introduced a new version of ATS framework (v1.8.5) that fixed some font bugs and introduced a new one. If you have a heap of PostScript fonts in your System, they are each scanned at login and it may be that each scan adds to and bloats the fontTablesAnnex cache. It is hoped Update 10.3.9, due 'real soon now', will include ATS.framework 1.8.6 which might fix this. ~/System/Library/Caches/fontTablesAnnex No guarantees. I'm just passing on what I read somewhere.

OK, if that's true, why is the Mac market in Australia smaller than that of European countries with populations approximately equal to Australia's? Overpricing here? Incompetent marketing? Insufficient retailer margins? All of these things? If so, the blame can be placed squarely at the door of Apple Australia. Or are there other factors causing Apple to have so few customers in Australia that we are marginalised almost to irrelevance in the general market?
OS X shutdown
When I shutdown the B/W G3 from OS X it makes an unpleasant popping sound, followed by a whine that lasts for about four seconds. This is exactly what happens when Western Power treats me to one of their splendid and frequent power cuts. It is as if (wild guess here) OS X cuts the power before the HD heads are parked. Doesn't happen from System 9. Anyone else get this?
