Help files.

[Malcolm J McCallum]

I do not know whether it is because I am getting old or because I am  
short of grey matter (Betz cell concentration) but when ever I try to  
use the help files I do not come up with the answer.  :-(  I am about  
to transfer my mail onto a NEW powerbook G4 :-) so i thought I would  
'archive', 'compress', 'store', 'retire' my current mailbox. Try  
feeding that into help and you get F... A.. Help. I am aware that all  
I need to do is ask the ever helpful gurus on the net and the answer  
will be forth coming in the click of a mouse button. But seriously  
folks why does Mail help point me in the right direction?


BTW how do I archive old mail?

This is a sad loss,I will miss Bud as I often sat next to him, it's

He gave me some of his drawings which will be cherished. I am still  
in the UK and therefore will not be able to attend the cremation  
service but will be there in spirit.

Some of you may already know that Charles was an architect in his

mainly in line drawings of well known scenery around the

For several years past there has always been from Charles and Jean  
one of his sketches on a greetings card at Christmas, together with  
a detailed history of the structure's history.


His cremation service is scheduled for 3.00 pm at Karrakatta next  
Friday. Sadly I will be unable to attend.

Hi  Wamuggers,
 On my wish list is a document that lists programs and where the  
program stores it info. Today I would like to know where iPhoto  
stores the information that you put into 'Title', (and what is atr)  
but this is a frequent question with other programs. I suppose there

For some reason the email address of Wamug , and some other people 
dropped out of the 'caravan gp' we set up , my appologies.We attempted 
to correct what we had noticed Any way I am safely back in WA after 
having driven back 6066 kms by myself as Sue had to fly to UK where her 
Father is sick. :-(. It was one hell of a drive, did the last bit from 
Ceduna to Perth in 3 days and NO i did not exceed the 100 kph I just 
drove for many hours. It rained from Coober Pedy to Cocklebiddy 
continuously :-( although good forb the countryside. Coming back into 
WA at Cocklebiddy there was the most magnificent Rainbow that I have 
ever seen 145 degrees from end to end ie almost the entire horizon  and 
thicker than I have ever seen. I felt I was indeed entering the 
'Promised  Land'


Will Post photos at later date.

Cheers from one half of Sue and Mac.

Hi everyone.


[..big Internet café sob story deleted..]



Ok, so, the problem that Malcolm is really describing with his 
Internet saga is that he is unable to send email. There are two ways 
of resolving that, but I need to provide a little background first.


Sending email in an email program generates a request to a mail server 
to send and email out to the person you wish to get the message to. 
After the Green Card affair in the early '90s we got introduced to 
SPAM. At that time you could generally connect to any mail server from 
anywhere and send email to someone.


These days that is no longer the case.

The simplest way to reduce SPAM is to ensure that only known users are 
allowed to use the email gateway. From an ISP perspective the easiest 
way to achieve that is to only allow people who connect to the 
Internet from their service to use their email server.


When you're in an Internet café, you're most likely not connected to 
the Internet via your normal ISP connection, thus you are prevented 
from sending email using their server.


As I said, there are two ways of resolving that:

  1. Find an email server that provides another way of authenticating 
you.

  2. Bring your own email server along.

Option 1 means that you need to ask your ISP if they have a mail 
server that you can connect to while roaming, and from memory, WestNet 
has one of those [they do indeed, read on :-) ]


Option 2 means that you need to install a mail server, like exim, 
postfix, sendmail or 20 other options.


You should note that Option 2 will at some times give you grief 
because ISPs are now beginning to block email coming from anything 
other than registered domains and mailing lists such as WAMUG use SPAM 
filters which use blocking lists that block email from "known 
spammers" - I put that in quotes, see below for why :-)


So, in this case and in most cases, it's simpler to get your ISP to 
assist you with a means of authenticating yourself against their 
mail-server, either using SSH, secure-SMTP or what ever scheme they've 
dreamt up.


Finally, I shall even provide you with some links:

   * http://www.google.com/search?q=westnet+roaming+mailserver&safe=off
   * http://www.westnet.com.au/support/setup/

Which state that:

   * * **Roaming Mail Server* (for use when not connected to WestNet)
   * Mail/POP3/SMTP/POST/Incoming and Outgoing
   * Mail server: mailr.westnet.com.au
   * Username: Full email address
   * Password: Email address password


As for the "known spammers" - some block lists - like the one used by 
WAMUG will also block infected computers, even if they are on a 
corporate network that affects a whole country, so users like me will 
have their mail blocked because some other user on the network has an 
infected PC and the network operator has no mechanism to separate out 
legitimate actual email, from a user like me who runs their own server 
and from an infected machine that sends out many megabytes of SPAM. So 
in the past I used option 2, and now I use both option 2 and 1, in 
that my mail server sends the mail to the Optus mail server.


So, there you have it.

Cheers,

Innocent abroad :-(

[Malcolm J McCallum]

Hi everyone.

 I thought it might be of some use to tell of my experiences 'on the 
road'.  Not being a unix guru or even a Mac guru I seem to have had all 
sorts of problems , mainly to do with sending (outgoing) mail servers.  
My typical approach is to walk into an internet cafe, approach the 
operator and ask if I can link up to his network by DHCP or plug into 
dial-up. The response is VERY variable a) "Of course, sit here and let 
me know if there is anything you want, you can print on the network". 
(x1)  Armidale   The BEST by far.  b) Have you got wireless? Yes  (I 
had :-)),go for it. c) Yes, Oh you have a Mac, we do not support 
Macs.  d) No you cannot plug into our telephone system you may infect 
our computers!  Quorn Library in Outback South Australia e) No you 
cannot connect your laptop, not here or anywhere in Byron Bay as you 
will infect our Network. I tried 3 separate internet cafes and got same 
reply, they must have an agreement amongst themselves. One said there 
used to be a hotel that would let you do it for $25.00 a session but 
they stopped doing it last year! f) on some occasions I would get 
linked up DHCP and download all my mail but no way could I upload. I 
would not have changed anything since the last time when it would have 
worked perfectly. I rang the ever helpful Matt(God bless Matt,Peter and 
wamug :-)) and he suggested putting login and password in the 
appropriate place in preferences but this does not always work. The 
frustrating thing is that two operators have said,"it's because it is a 
Mac, get a Windoze machine". If the operator knows their outgoing SMTP  
that of course, works but many of them do not know it, they just take 
the money and turn the machines on and off.  I get all the spam through 
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mainly drugs, very occasionally someone offering 
their photos for my delectation. :-). There is nothing worse than 
paying cell phone rates for porn download. :-(.

Yes.  However I want to emphasise that westnet's service - where it 
matters most - in provision of network and the absolutely best support 
desk in the known universe is streets ahead of the next competitor.
For example, I recently tracked a transient DNS problem down to "most 
likely" in their network - using apple's troubleshooting pages - and 
an intelligent and switched on Beau twigged immmediately that I had 
missed a notice about DNS number change.   Somehow I just know if I 
had wanted help at another isp,  I would have first had to wait for 
half an hour to speak 'live' and then would have got on to a timid  
trainee with hearing problems ;-/

And most importantly, the support staff are all very mac inquisitive.
And too, I think everyone would agree that the reply re the flash 
problem was well researched and helpful - as far as it went.  By the 
way, I haven't yet had a reply to their offer to follow up and in my 
experience, this usually means that something is getting investigated.
If people are annoyed by the website stuff like we have pointed out, 
maybe an email or two from several different mac users might tickle 
management along?

Canberra to Blackheath near Katoomba

[Malcolm J McCallum]

 Dear All,

Well here we are in the Blue Mountains.  We had a wonderful week in 
Canberra with Sue's cousin Peter & his partner Jill.  We have been to 
Canberra before, but we really enjoyed this visit.  We were there 
particularly for Peter's 70th birthday party which was held by Lake 
Burley Griffin.  We visited the War  Memorial Museum for an afternoon 
but could, in fact, have spent the whole day there.
 We also went into' Civic' in Canberra and went to the Canberra Museum 
and Gallery, where Jill works.  It really was fascinating.  There was a 
display by two artists who each had painted the same subject for three 
hours.  The artists used different mediums and the results were 
amazing.  There were about fifteen portraits and we were entranced.
On 15th April ( Sue's birthday) Peter took us to Thredbo.  An 
interesting drive and well worth it. The architecture at Thredbo was 
most interesting and we could see the ski slopes.  We passed on the 
cable car ride to Mt Kosciusko as we both had a nasty virus and were 
not feeling the best.
On Wednesday Peter & Jill took us to dinner at University House (ANU).  
It was a wonderful evening where we met fascinating people and it was 
rounded off by a talk on " How words get into the dictionary"-- most 
interesting by the man who edited the McQuarrie Dictionary .


On Thursday Jill took us to see her family home which is now a museum. 
It was one of the first houses built in Canberra and has remained 
unchanged since 1926 and really is worth a visit.  It is called 
Calthorpes' House. We were so lucky to have Jill show us around and 
fill us in on all of the history as well as play the pianola!  Her 
mother, Dawn, has written a book about her childhood in that house and 
it is a joy to read.  As it happened , we went and had afternoon tea 
with Dawn after we had visited the house, so that was really special.  
She knew that we both had birthdays in April so she had baked a cake 
which was lovely.  Her house and garden are lovely and so we were 
really privileged to be shown around.


On the last day in Canberra we went to the National Art Gallery and saw 
an exhibition by Thea Procter.  It was absolutely stunning and we could 
have spent all day there.  When you walk out of the gallery (the old 
Houses of Parliament) you look back towards the War Museum and the view 
is amazing.  I must say that we appreciated Canberra much more this 
time and were really sorry to leave.  Jill and Peter were great hosts 
and we look forward to their next visit to Perth.


Having left Canberra we headed for Cowra.  We stayed for four nights as 
we were still recovering from some rotten bug that we took to 
Canberra!.  Cowra was very interesting because of the break out by the 
Japanese POWs during World War II.  The Japanese  cemeteries in 
particular were impressive.  They have evidently buried all Japanese 
citizens who died in Australia during the second world war in this 
cemetery.  There is also cemetery for the Australian soldiers.  We saw 
the 'Peace Bell' and also the Japanese Gardens which were stunning.  We 
then headed off for Bathurst as Mac wanted to drive around Mount 
Panorama. I think that he was rather hoping to do it with the caravan 
but we desisted.:-(  I must say that the drive was " interesting"and 
coming off the mountain would have been terrifying at speed. We also 
went to the Fossil Museum and the Warren Somerville  Mineral 
collection, both housed in an old School, which was superb and must be 
world standard.
We then set off for Oberon in the Blue Mountains.  It was quite a climb 
but a very pretty town.  We decided to go and see the Jenolan Caves.  
What a drive! A really steep and winding road down into the gorge.  We 
then had quite a walk down to the cave but the scenery was spectacular. 
 Once down there we booked in to " do " a cave tour.  There were so 
many people and all of the tours were pretty booked up.  Anyway we went 
on the Lucas tour which took one and a half hours, but it was worth it. 
 We had intended to do the Kanangra Walls walk next but we ran out of 
time.  We went back the next day and were glad that we had done so.  
The scenery was wonderful and we also walked down to the falls - rather 
steep.  it is strange when you travel around the people you meet. 
Before we went on the Kanangra walk we met two men who were quite 
chatty and told us it was worth seeing.  When we got back(about an hour 
later) they were still there and we had a coffee with them.  One of 
them was very chatty and after he moved off the other guy told us that 
he was famous and had, in fact, been the first Australian to walk to 
both Poles and had OBEs!!  They had just done a days walk from Katoomba 
to Kanangra Falls and were waiting to be picked up!


We left Oberon and travelled to Blackheath (which is near Katoomba).  
The drive was fantastic and the caravan park is lovely, so we may stay 
here a few days as there is so much to see.  We still want to do

Welcome To The Revolution...Or How I Switched To Apple

I doubt you¹ve heard anything on the radio, seen anything on the TV  
or read
anything in the newspapers but there is a revolution occurring here  
in the
UK. Before I go any further let me just skip back in time a couple of  
years

to give you some background.

 The year is 2003. My name is Alistair Hutchinson, I am working as a  
nurse
in my local ER (known here as A+E) and something strange is beginning  
to
happen. I am receiving calls at all hours of the day and receiving  
visits
whilst working, from others in my profession, often bringing along  
their
³ailing friend² for me to administer my healing hands, more often  
than not

in a way that seems almost mystical to the people present.

 Have you guessed what I¹m doing? No? Well, I¹m fixing, repairing,
innoculating, and generally disinfecting their PC¹s. How my name has
circulated around the hospital I have no idea but all of a sudden it  
seems I

am busier with my hobby than I¹ve ever been.

 So busy in fact that I stop enjoying it.

 For every PC built for a friend I enter into a kind of gentlemans  
agreement
to provide free support for the rest of my days, oh and woe betide me  
if my

sons aren¹t going to continue that support when I¹m gone!

 At around about the same time all this is going on the Windows XP  
spyware
writers seemingly quadruple their efforts because, obviously, I don¹t  
have

enough to do already.

 So I get out, I buy a Mac (PM single 1.8 G5) and sell my PCs. It¹s  
not my
first Mac, that award goes to a G3 iBook that I bought previously  
whilst a
student and ended up selling after only 6 months due to lack of funds  
for my
studies (for studies read beer) but when I sold it I swore I would  
one day

own a desktop Mac. That day had come.

 From then on whenever I was approached to recommend a spec for a PC  
I would
simply reply ³Buy a Mac, it¹s simpler to use no more expensive to buy  
and it
won¹t let you down². Now, I have to be honest here, the people I said  
this
too merely went and sought advice elsewhere and ended up buying PCs  
anyway
but that was ok with me. I didn¹t need the hassle of setting up  
computers
for people and spending hours on the phone trying to troubleshoot  
their
problems as I was busy studying for one or another course for work  
and was
also a new father for the third time so I guess you could say I had  
my hands

full.

 Fast forward to 2004, people are starting 

Time I really retired!

Re: Minor Gripe - the flipside

I totally agree Rod. The service I have had from the Joondalup Store

only go to Nedlands if the other two stores closed.

After making the initial gripe, it seemed fair to present the rest of
the story. Karl, if you're reading this, and have any pull within the
Oz Apple store, buy Paul and Alan a beer, or a shiny gold star (or
something). I was left with the impression that a) my order is in safe
hands, and b) that Apple store employees provide that little bit extra
in terms of service.

I guess I'll wander along to my local Apple store this Saturday and
check out what'll shortly be in the mail. iLife integrated apps rock
imho.




Its funny that all the dealings I have ever had in calling 'Over East' 
to
Apple, whether it has been on behalf of a customer that has had all 
sorts of
problems with their new Mac, or to speak to the people on the 'other 
side of

the counter', I have never had one gripe.  The phone manner is always
excellent and the person on the other end always seems to take an 
interest
in what you say.  I guess if I was working for a company that one year 
was
voted the best company to work for in Australia, I'd be pretty chuffed 
too

:-)

I guess this would be a pointer to the kind of service that will 
happen when

the Apple retail Stores eventually hit our shores.  I read on Macnn
yesterday that a long time reseller in San Francisco has shut its doors
after being open for a squillion years.  They blamed dealings with 
Apple and
the retail shops for their closure.  You would think that people would 
be
jumping up and down about the closure of another Mac store, thanks to 
Apple
(allegedly, of course!).  Nope.  Not one person did in the Comments 
section.
All said the service was rubbish and good riddance to a company that 
did
nothing to grow or look after its customers.  The resellers that are 
left in

Oz should take notice of that article.  If your service is not up to
scratch, people will have no hesitation in buying from Apple rather 
than a
local store.  But if you look after your customers, you will have them 
for a

lifetime, no matter how many Apple Retail Stores open.

Seeya

OT Re: New Apple user !

[Malcolm J McCallum]

Hoping I am allowed one 'off topic' :-). I had a patient aged 17 who 
fallen off a mountain and broken his head. We got out the vinegar and 
brown paper!   He recovered but was VERY wobbly on his legs. He had 
been a schoolboy international at Hockey before his fall. He was very 
miserable and knowing Stirling had fought his way back from a similar 
situation, I rang him in London from Newcastle --287 miles--. I got 
through to his secretary who said she would get him to ring back. I 
waited and waited but no telephone call :-(. 5 hours later i was 
called over the hospital tannoy -- I had a visitor in the front hall of 
the RVI  (Royal Victoria Infirmary-Newcastle.) I went down and met 
--Stirling Moss-- who on receipt of my call had climbed into his car 
and driven all the way to Newcastle to talk with the boy. He spent over 
an hour with the totally astonished boy and then drove back to London. 
I am one of his Fan Club.He ranks with Fangio,Nuvalari (?sp),Clark and 
maybe Ralph should be in that group--Maybe.

Hi Mac,
Sometimes Word does not recognise the dictionary if the "Language" of 
the document is not what you originally set it to. I set up Word with 
my language as English AUS. All the stuff added to my user dictionary 
is available only when the Language is English AUS. If I open a 
document with the language set as something different (English US for 
example) my user dictionary is not available.


The way round this is to change the "Language" in the document. Select 
all the text in the document (Command + A). Then go to the Tools > 
Language > English AUS menu item. If you change the language to your 
original one then the user dictionary should now be available.


Regards,

John Taylor

Dear All,

There seems to be some confusion still regarding the situation at 
Catur PS in the Bangli district of Bali.


We (my wife, cousin and I ) installed 10 MacIntosh 580 computers at 
the school in October.  They were transported to Bali in a seatainer 
going to Bali for the John Fawcett Foundation.  They are ready to run 
with software (OS 7 something), regular AppleWorks software and games 
already loaded.  They are not configured  to access the internet and 
are not networked.   A laser printer and another Mac are to be sent 
soon to make up a printing station for transfer of files by floppy 
disk from the other Macs.


Power supply is the main problem as the makeshift power to the school 
is both low on voltage and unreliable. The  installation of permanent 
power to the school has been costed at around A$220.  The Bangli 
District Government is broke and the installation may take quite some 
time considering that fact.  The alternative is that we raise a bit 
more money to add to Mac's collection from the BBQ and get the ball 
rolling that way.


If that can be agreed to, then I will contact the Foundation and 
suggest they get things rolling.


At this stage I think the 10 computers are very adequate for this 
small school and, any non Mac Techie may be confused with different 
mixes of models and operation systems.



I hope I have explained this adequately,

regards

Kevin

Hi Norm and everyone else. I really cannot answer your question, my own

it may. I felt I would like to support those kids in Bali and they must 
be as frustrated as hell with the Macs sitting there and no power.  It 
seems to me we need a committee to sit round a table or even round 
their respective email programs (sp McCallum--your a POM :-)) 
programmes and thrash out WHAT we should help and HOW we should help 
and HOW SPECIFIC to THAT school and whether it should be JUST related 
to Macs and a whole lot of other things. My personal feelings are that 
as we are a mac user group it should be at the very least macs or there 
is no justification in wamug being involved.


I have been involved in other 'good deeds' and I want to assured that 
my money and effort is going to where it is supposed to be going.


I think the first thing to be organised is the discussion group and I 
will collect the names of those interested in joining. So send your 
interest names to me.


Really enjoyed the BBQ, Thanks to Matt and his band of helpers :-)

Hi Wamuggians !
I have spoken with Kevin Lock about the school that got the Macs. It 
makes a very interesting story and I have persuaded Kevin Lock to come 
to the BBQ as my guest to tell the Group  how they got the Macs and 
printers to Catur Primary School  in Bali and set them up. I sat 
fascinated  for an hour plus on Sunday morning and I think the Wamug 
group would be interested to hear a  potted version.  I had ideas of 
auctioning off the remaining BBQ beef and snaggers and putting this 
towards the maintenance of the Machines.  A 'tech' has been located who 
for $2.00 an hour is willing to service the machines. It is obviously 
no good these kids having these machines if as soon as they run into 
problems they are stuck.


The computers were got through customs with the help of The John 
Fawcett Foundation, an Australian who has the ear of the Prime Minister 
so this not some 'tin pot organisation' and there are safeguards in 
place to stop the equipment going into the hands of undesirables!

Yes. Sunday, December 12. THe final details are still being worked 
out, which is why an official announcement to the list has not been 
made, although it was announced at the last WAMUG meeting.


Same place as last time (the barbecue area off Thomas Street, at the 
end of Rokeby Road). Meat and drinks supplied, free for financial 
WAMUG members, gold coin donation for non-members.


Please note: we need at least 20 people to say they will be there, or 
else it won't happen. It had to be cancelled last year because of lack 
of interest.

Re: Help ! I cannot open my mac :-(

[Malcolm J McCallum]

Hi Shay, thanks once again. I just thought I would tell you what 
happened when I did what you suggested. When I started up with command 
V held down I got staight into unix/ terminal and the screen filled 
with a mass of unix. I decided I would wait until it stopped before I 
tried to make sense of what it was saying. That is when I replied to 
you on my G3. Before I had finished that reply I suddenly was back into 
Mac OS X and everything was working. I had not touched the laptop apart 
from the command V . ?   I was then somewhat anxious as I did not 
know what had been wrong and whether it was now 'Right'.   I put the 
software disc in and it does not give me the uninstall option the 
install works by dragging a folder from disk onto HD. I have looked on 
'Keyspans' website and I apparently seem to have the latest version of 
software.  All very strange :-(.

Thanks once again,

Mac

remember watching Matt start up in Unix  but do not know how he did 
it and wonder if I did manage to do that whether I could navigate my

Mac


Try starting up with command v held down. This will display what's 
happening, which might display an error message. You might also try 
rebooting with the shift key held down for longer.


Good luck,
Shay

Malcolm,

I have talked with Miles Humphreys and he has offered help in Bali as 
he is stationed there. How he can help has not been determined yet.


I am not a member of WAMUG merely a subscriber to the list, so it is 
not for me to initiate actions.


As far as that particular school goes, the macs that are installed 
there will get minimal maintenance and once the die they could be 
replaced.  The staff and students have no background in computers but 
a teacher from another school with PC knowledge lives directly 
opposite the PS and has offered to help.He has an email address 
and I have emailed him since returning without any reply.


I suppose one avenue of support could be to raise a small amount of 
money for a technician to take a look at them when needed. A competent 
tech would charge something like A$10 per hour and I guess the 
foundation would transport him to the school,; although I am not sure 
of that.


I am willing and happy to facilitate any assistance given to this or 
other schools.



regards

Kevin Lock

Hi Mac,

Burned iPhoto album seems to have wrong picture order

 If you burn a CD or DVD disc of an iPhoto album then select the disc

G'day all.
I'm brand new to the mailing list and thought that some people may be 
able to benefit from my experience. For the last 4 months we've been 
pulling our hair out trying to burn DVDs with iDVD on our new G5, dual 
1.8. The people at the place we bought it from were much less into 
after sales service than they had told us they were. (not sure about 
the political correctness of sinking the boots into a shop on this 
list, so I'll leave that out for now). Anyway after many trips back to 
the store and lots of phone calls and lots of stress, we took our 
machine to Artref. They promptly told us the problem was probably to 
do with the extra RAM we had installed. Then they fixed the machine. 
It was covered by warranty and we were home and burning perfect DVDs 
the same day. Oh yeh, the symptoms were pixels appearing when the DVD 
was played back.


So, thankyou to Artref, in particular Joel, and be very cautious the 
next time a shop tells you that they are the- best in town for 
after sales service.

Customer Premise Equipment?


In answer to the original poster: 'cpe' has no technical meaning in the
Internet domain name service -- it is merely one of Telstra's naming
conventions for its own customers. Presumably Luke is correct, except:

In response to Luke's followup:

From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:

  premise
   n : a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a
   conclusion can be drawn; [syn: {premiss}, {assumption}]

I point this out because some people use 'premise' when they mean 
'premises':


From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:

  premises
   n : land and buildings together considered as a place of
   business;

Re: ext HD to firewire and USB

Howdy,
I've got a Icecube external hardisk
I have it "permanently" connected to a G4   via apple DV screen via 
firewire OS 10.3


I also have it connected to a rev A iMac via USB OS 8.6 ( using USB 
mass storage 1.3.5 extension)


now if I turn on whilst all is connected the disk volumn will only 
show up  on the iMac.
to have the disk volume show up in the G4, I have to trash the disk 
volume off the iMac desktop  and then unplug the usb cable

the disk volume will then show up on the G4

Q
Does this mean that USB has priority over Fire wire.
Is this a OS issue or the external harddisk
Is it possible to have the disk volumes showing up in both computers 
simultaneously and if so, how would I go about achieving that


I hope the above make sense!

thaks for any advice

 I have done that in the past but I kept getting yelled at by
 all those

 email address in Italics on all outgoing messages.

 I am firmly in the group of people that believe HTML has
 absolutely no

I can think of at least three different things you might be trying to
do:

1/ Increase the size of text in your word processor so that it prints
   out bigger,
2/ Increase the magnification in your word processor so that it 
displays

   bigger on screen but prints out the same as before,
3/ Magnify the size of every programme on your whole screen.

For the first one, it will depend on your word processor. In Microsoft
Word, I think it's COMMAND+] to increase the size (you will need to
select any existing text first, in order for it to increase).

For the last one, it depends on whether you are running OS X or not. If
you are running OS 8 or 9, you should perhaps look at the 'Easy Access'
control panel. Perhaps there is help for Easy Access that tells you
about keystrokes? If you are using Mac OS X, go into 'System
Preferences' and have a play around with 'Universal Access'.
There is also a "Keyboards Shortcuts" list under 'Keyboard & Mouse'.

Re: random reboots

[Malcolm J McCallum]

  Hi all,I am getting random Kernel Panics with no pattern that I can 
see,3 of them, could be 4 :-).Once on start up, once when I 
changed programmes and do not remember the other one. My  Serial number 
is UV 12143 KLBT   iBook /500MHz  . I have run DiskWarrior over it with 
a clean bill of health.  I am still under Applecare. Do I do anything 
else?  Is there a Protocol that one should go through when it occurs?

If your iBook falls within the serial number range UV220XX to

It might be worth doing a reinstall of the software ... I've got that 
down to 45 minutes (including internet configration and loading of 
odds and sods software). Just to rule that out.


There is probably nothing Apple can do for you until your machine 
actually demonstrates one or more of the following symptoms: scrambled 
or distorted video; appearance of unexpected lines on the screen; 
intermittent video image; video freeze; or computer starts up to blank 
screen. In my case my iBook demonstrated ALL of these symptoms within 
the space of 30 minutes ... culminating with computer starts up to 
blank (black)screen.


My iBook's new logic board was being installed this morning. I'll 
probably pick it up tomorrow.


Good luck!

I have now had two kernel panics today alone. They started about 2
weeks ago and seem to be getting closer together. yesterday or the day
before I also had an issue where the screen seemed to be stuck in the
"power saver" mode, ie. the brightness was very low even though the
brightness control was at near maximum, and only a reboot fixed it.

Does this sound like the Logic Board issue, or do you think that it is
software related. I am happy to reinstall OSX if it could fix the
issue, but I don't want to waste my time backing up 40GB of data and
reinstalling all my software if it turns out to be hardware related.

Cable modem and Router

[Malcolm J McCallum]

Hi Wamuggers,

I have a Telstra/foxtel cable modem and a Linksys  Etherfast Cable DSL 
Router .  Matt set this up for me and it worked reasonably well,but 
dropped out quite frequently for reasons unknown.  The only way I could 
get back on line was to do a reset on both 'Boxes'. Sometime recently 
Telstra changed something and I could not get online at all :-).   For 
a few days I was driven to using my cell phone T68i. and bluetooth :-(


I am now reliably back on using !Launch plugging directly into the 
cable modem but cannot get to 'share' with the other macs in the Mac 
household.


It would seem I need to get the equivalent of Launch into the router or 
do I put !Launch onto the other macs.


Help!!

I am trying to burn a disc of data ('letters' for last 6 years and

Tv-hifi-dvd etc -itunes setup

[Malcolm J McCallum]

Dear All,
I am about to renew my TV as I think my Sony set has served its time 
well at 23 years old. Yes it is colour (;-0) and the only thing that 
has ever gone wrong is the on/off switch which need a 5 cent piece 
jammed in to make it work.


 I want an intergrated system that allows me to play itunes through the 
set up and in the future will allow me to download 'movies' from the 
internet and record programmes onto DVD and generally be a "thoroughly 
modern Millie" I was thinking of going to look at Bose but is there any 
system that specifically looks to the Mac! It seems a bit silly to do 
all the research if someone else has thought of these problems. :-)
