I like Ronni have been purchasing hardware, software & training from
Daniel of "MacWizardry" for many years and would like to say I have
had similar satisfaction from Daniel on service, advice & loyalty.
He exceeds customer expectations.

Yes WAMUGers, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending
Daniel Kerr of "MacWizardry".
I have been purchasing from Daniel, computers, external harddrives,
software, ipods, anything pertaining to 'The Macintosh way of life',
ever since I purchased my first computer ... and that is a long
time ;-)
Not only does Daniel supply everything at a very reasonable price,
his support is unequalled to any other service I know.
Daniel also gives his time and knowledge FREE to our WAMUG Mailing
list, and works tirelessly to keep WAMUG existing.
I support Philippe & Greg in promoting our local business. Sure I
can purchase cheaper elsewhere, but would I get the right advice, or
the service Daniel gives ... NO WAY!
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Everyone,
I totally support Greg's message regarding Daniel of Macwizardry
fame.
I too bought hardrives and laptops from Daniel, and the external
drives are with FW and USB and all three of them have been extremely
reliable, and so is the internal drive I have installed in my G5
1.8Ghz PPC.
Furthermore, I have installed OS X 10.5.7 on one of the external FW
drives from Daniel, and regularly boot my machine from this drive.
This means that I am able to keep my older applications running on
10.3.9 installed on one of my internal drives. That's the beauty of
FireWire!
I guess that it is now a question of 'use it or loose it', and that's
why I would promote the use of the local businesses. I know that one
may get something a tad cheaper interstate or overseas, but nothing
beats the local dealer whom you can call or email for some advice or
support.
Kind regards all,
Philippe Chaperon

Hello Ken
Talk to Daniel Kerr at Macwizardry. He sells the Sarotech brand of
external
cases. I've had 5 of them and only one ever failed.
My 1TB is going strong.
They come in various configurations for USB, Firewire 400,
Firewire 800 and
SATA or all of the above.
You can remove the hard drive and fit another one too.
Daniel's details are ; 0414 795 960
dan...@macwizardry.com.au
Daniel is a great asset to the Perth Mac community and I have no
hesitation
in recommending him.

Hi Ken
Can't help you with the firewire but awhile back I picked up a
Doro VOIP +
landline cordless phone for my other half to chat with her friends
interstate via skype.
It is still available from Dealsdirect and is very easy to set
up and
use. As well as being able to use it for voip it doubles as a
landline phone

Speaking of that..Hi everyone, can someone tell me where I might
find a
1TB Firewire drive for a G5 running 104.11 please.
They all seem very expensive? Also has anyone experience with a
Wireless
USB headset for Skype use?
regards all,
Ken

Hi Ronni and Sue
Thanks for the reply and its good to be back in the mix. It
was
kind of weird not having all the wamug emails daily and it
only
twigged a short while ago!!
re the usb drives, I was amazed to see such a large drive
being usb
powered now. Im going to take my MB in tomorrow and just
plug it in
and see if I can drag a couple of files across. Not bad
value at
under $200 for 500gb!!
thanks again

chris
Just be aware that your enthusiasm may be curbed if you ever
try to
copy very large amounts of data at once (such as cloning your
hard
drive!). USB 2.0 tends to choke and slow to a crawl under such
conditions. This is why a drive with a Firewire port, while
more
expensive, is a much better option. It is much better at
sustaining
a transfer rate.

I certainly agree with Peter, I personally would not purchase
a USB
External Drive for backup purposes or transferring large Video
files.
Firewire is faster and more stable.
Which makes it even more annoying that Apple is now pushing you
more &
more
to USB:
- Want to plug a drive to an airport extreme for network
access - it
has
to be USB.
- Macbooks no longer have firewire ports
Cheers
