Today I changed the two signatures I have in Mail to National and
International.
Unfortunately the International has become the default signature.
How do I make the National the default?

Thanks Ronni. I had found out the apn, but still was unable to get it working.
Sounds like I need to ring their support line. People who've bought sims with
credit on it seem to find it works OK, so I may be able to add some credit that
way. I've tried to do it under sim applications, but they
That yellow symbol says there is something wrong with that device,
usually it's drivers, and that it wont work.
So it sounds like you do need to download the appropriate bootcamp and

I have not personally done this so I can't advise on the specifics.

Have you installed the Windows/Mac drivers from the OSX CD?
When you install Bootcamp, you need to load the MacOSX CD which has Windows
drivers for a lot of things on it.

There may be other reasons but this is my experience.
I get a lot of PDFs from clients. Those that I can't copy from are generally
scanned as PDF from the original and can't be copied by Preview.

Although I use Entourage, I have not personally used Sync Services.

Thanks for that link. At least now I know it is a real problem for everyone

You can turn off Sync Services in Entourage preferences until you can get time

Sync Services goes through a database called the truth. Until you get the
