Hi Rob Here is the email I sent (by coincidence exactly one year ago today) regrading WA holidays. It does not include school holidays. Remember you could have found it via the archives (link at the bottom of every list email) woz > Hi all > > Fed up with the various "subscribe-able" Australi

I've had a couple of these & the last time I did the crime scene routine...the guy was flabbergasted when I said I must have his name because he had just involved himself in a murder as he had just called the crime scene! Don't try & hang up on me either I said as we have traced your number & yo

Its hard to believe that anyone is chasing this guy at all, he or his girlfriend have been calling me at least 3 times a year for the last 3 or 4 years claiming to be from Microsoft, ATO, survey company and the like. I tried playing bum on one occasion and even got them to give me their address

Performance boost - Repair User Permissions

I've been experiencing sluggish performance for ages on my MBP running Lion, particularly when it came to using Spotlight, or the search facility within Mail. Then I came across the Repair User Permissions process detailed at: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-l

You can always play dumb and pretend you are on windows when you are on a mac, that will waste several minutes of their time trying to walk you through how to switch on remote access for them (or whatever it is they want you to do), when you sense their frustration levels rising you tell them yo

Yes, this scam has been going around for several years now. My daughter eventually persuaded the chap who phoned her several times to give her his phone no. Then she phoned Microsoft (I think in Sydney). They were very pleased to have the phone no. - apparently they have been trying to shut t

Re: Lost connection

Hi Tom You can try a different cable, as some as "tighter" connections, so therefore fit better. The Ethernet port is generally soldered to the Motherboard/Logicboard, so not something easily replaced. You'd probably find it cheaper/easier to add a wireless card to it (depending on which mode),

Also do you have 'Using DHCP' selected? The yellow indicates you are not picking up an IP Address. On 19/05/2012, at 3:23 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: > The cables are definitely "clicked" in all the way,..enough you actually hear > it click when you insert it. > Had a few jobs where it just wash't si

Re: Lost connection

The cables are definitely "clicked" in all the way,..enough you actually hear it click when you insert it. Had a few jobs where it just wash't sitting right. You can also try jiggling the cable slightly to see if it makes a connection. The other thing you can try is it to set Ethernet Network ma

Make sure you have the Ethernet cable connected to the iMac and the Modem Router before you restart the Modem Router. On 19/05/2012, at 3:08 PM, Tom Hogarth wrote: > ok off to the modem to do a restart on that as well - sorry that this is > dragging out like this > > On 19 May 2012 15:06, Ronda
