Re: Good quality laser printers?

I've just sold (and installed) an HP 2500L Colour Laser Printer for 
someone - very impressive machine. Running in a Windows 2000 network, 
which includes a lonely eMac running MacOS X 10.2.3.

The only downside has been the amazingly inept installer for MacOS. It 
purportedly installs over 400 files, and there are no clues as to 
where they go. Certainly, Print Center isn't aware of them, nor, for 
that matter, is Chooser in Classic. So far, an email to HP support has 
not elicited any response (BTW - if anyone out there has had any 
experience with getting this stuff to work I'd love to hear from 
them...).

However, it does work very well with Samba networking and Gimp Print. 
This is not difficult to set up, and is probably necessary anyway if 
you're in a mixed environment. The printer itself produces excellent 
results, and is pretty good value at around $2500 RRP. The 2500L is the 
cheapest. For another $500 you can get the 2500 with an extra paper 
tray, and the 2500N at around $3700 has an ethernet port thrown in. All 
models include PostScript.

IT work experience wanted

2003-02-27 Thread Larry Pohl
Hi all

I have a young client who is interested in getting some work experience in the 
IT industry, particularly the hardware/networking side. He's 22 years old and 
has partially completed the TAFE Diploma in Computer Systems Engineering. He is 
planning to re-enrol in July and is looking for something useful to do while he 
is waiting for the next intake.

Ideally, I'd like to help him out with a traineeship and/or a job in the 
industry. I'm in a position to help arrange something along these lines 
including generous wage subsides and so on.

If anyone is interested, please contact me off list at:

Wanted to buy - a machine from the dark side

2003-02-27 Thread Kaye and Geoff

Hi,

A friend of mine had his PC and modem wiped out by lightning the 
other day, and wants to pick up a second-hand one. Does anyone know 
of a similar list to this (or the Mac-for-sale list) for PC users?


Alternatively, do any of you want to rid yourselves of a working PC 
lurking around the house? He used his machine mainly for email and 
needs Windows 98 or 2000, and a modem that works with it.

OSX Eudora question.

2003-02-27 Thread Mark Secker
Does anybody know a way of stopping Eudora 5.1.1 for OSX coming to 
the foreground each time it checks mail?
I have disabled the open mailboxes (with new mail) and this stops 
it from splattering the foreground with open mailboxes which it did 
even to it's self so that you'd be halfway through typing an e-mail 
and it would over display the message your composing with the new 
mail's mailboxes
but what ever the application it's self still comes to the foreground 
as soon as it checks mail

I believe home and contents insurance covers lightning damage to modems and

When I hook my Fuji Finepix 2400 camera up to my G4 it mounts the SmartMedia
card on the desktop as a disk. I can copy files from the SmartMedia card to
my hard drive and even delete them directly from the card with no problem.
I've also gone the other way to share pictures. All I had to do was make
sure the files were named using the same convention the camera used and I
could even see the pictures using the controls on the camera. I've
transferred pictures to the camera for storage without using the naming
convention the camera uses and even though the files can be seen when the
card is mounted on the desktop the camera can't see them.

Hi everyone

could someone please enlighten me on the Seagate hard disks described 
with HDD 120GB SEAGATE 7200RPM 8MB SATA150

specifically the 8mb sata150. Is this an onboard disk cache to 
improve performance?

kind regards and thanks for any support

Re: Seagate HD

2003-02-27 Thread Keith Palmer, Zytech
Hi Chris

Yes the 8MB is cache and the SATA refers to serial ATA.

There is no support for serial ATA on a Mac as yet, we've been looking 
at a couple of PC PCI cards but I haven't as yet started hunting down 
any of the Mac rumour sites about Mac support as yet. The word from 
Apple has been probably.
