Hi Don, Brett (et al)
This sounds like Brett Carboni Tsunami "Today Mosman Park, tomorrow
the world. Bwhahaha!" Big Sushi Territory really.
GMUGgers (in sunny Geraldton) would like to help too but there is a
great distance physically between us. We could do it virtually iff
there's no Perth response.
Regards
Reg

Hi all,
A member of my local User Group here in Melbourne has a daughter
over in WA who needs some assistance to back up her G3 iMac and I
was hoping someone would be to assist her and perform the back up
for her and then perhaps prepare the machine to go to it's new owner.
If you can assist, please contact Don directly as per his email
below and he'll call you and arrange what needs to be done.
ps: the iMac already has a nice new home lined up with someone in
Perth, but it could be an opportunity to get a new member as well ;)

Hi Nick,
I am still trying to sort out a way to get my daughter's stuff off
her G3 iMac in Perth and onto the G4 over here. As I said she
doesn't have a great deal of time nor a really suitable external
HD or CD/DVD burner to use.
I did have thoughts about buying an iPod, sending it over, getting
her to copy the files and folders and sending it back but that's a
bit cumbersome and quite expensive.
The Files/Folders that need to be copied are as follows (Sizes are
approximate) :-
Documents Folder 1.53BB
iPhoto Library (No.3.) 1.06GB
iPhoto Library (No.4.) 735MB
As you can see these would easily fit onto a blank DVD.
Your offer of help from the WA MUG's is tempting but of course I
would not like to put anyone to much bother. If there was someone
with a PowerBook or iBook with a DVD burner and the ability to
Network with the G3 iMac (no Firewire of course) that lived close
to Mosman Park and would be willing to do the job, that would be
great. There is a fully usable (USB) Lacie external CD Burner, in
good condition, over there but it is quite slow and would not
easily accommodate the Folders without breaking them up.
I/we would be prepared to donate this burner to anyone willing to
do the job in recognition of their time and effort and I would of
course also supply the blank DVD.
If you are able to find a willing helper, perhaps they could email
me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with their phone number - I would
then ring them on the VoIP phone to see if arrangements could be
made.
Thanks
Don
