Connection

2002-08-30 Thread Don Jacobson
Can anyone direct me towards a step-by-step idiots guide to connecting
(networking?) an iMac (0/S 8.6) to a PC (Windows 2000 or XP) - solely for
the purpose of exchanging documents. I know I can do it over the web, but
some of the documents are quite big so I need a 'hardwire' connection.

Thanks,

Don

Stolen telescopes and digital camera

2002-08-30 Thread Paul Weaver
Last Thursday Binocular Optical and Telescope World in Mt Hawthorn was
broken into and two computerised telescopes were stolen, a Nexstar 8 and
Nexstar 5, plus a digital video camera. If any persons are offered any of
these items cheap, they would love to hear about it. Their contact email is
Keith and David [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is the same place that had the binocular camera a few weeks ago.

Re: Airport Antennas

2002-08-30 Thread Shay Telfer

Hi All,

At the last WAMUG meeting someone asked about airport antennas to increase
the range. Well, I found this:

In my efforts to add the words wireless savvy to my network admin resume,
I've been reading books and web pages on radio propagation, antenna theory
and design, and building wireless networks with 802.11. One of the first
things that got me excited was the Pringles Can Antenna. Published on the
internet and in a fine book by Rob Flickenger, the net admin for O'Reilly,
this design for a do-it-yourself, VERY inexpensive antenna made from a
recycled junkfood container is as cool as the other side of the pillow. It
seems that everyone is building and using these. The various community
wireless network groups all talk about them and folks are reporting that
they do the job.

Various other places retail gear you'll need for setting up antennas, like

Steve Murray at Wavelink, Subiaco
http://www.wavelink.net.au/ 


Peter Hopkinson
http://www.hopkinsonconsulting.com.au/wireless/

WA CB Centre, Newcastle St. (for antenna cable etc.)

Have fun,
Shay
