Tax Time 2003 Stationery
Others may be interested in the following e-mail I have sent to the tax office.

Other tax agents have advised me that the site can be accessed using Windows OS so it appears that you are discriminating, intentionally or otherwise, against users of other operating systems. It would be appreciated if you would rectify this situation so that all citizens can contact a government agency.

And more importantly, the ATO, a Commonwealth body is actively encouraging a foreign corporation convicted in the USA under investigation in the EU of using anti-competitive behavior (or words to that effect) It's bad enough private companies taking this line but state federal government depts. are actively encouraging and compounding such behavior.

David I just read this comment in an article about Microsoft's testing facility http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winserver2k3_gold3.asp Customers typically spend two weeks at the EEC--though the Australian tax office was in for almost six weeks--and Microsoft can host up to five customers at the EEC simultaneously. I wonder whether that's because the ATO was being thorough or because whoever writes their software didn't do a very good job :) Apple has similar testing facilities for use by developers http://developer.apple.com/labs/ Although of course you have to be in Cupertino :( Have fun, Shay
Acrobatics
I have Acrobat 5 (the full version) in Classic and Acrobat Reader 5.1 in 10.2.6. When I click on a pdf file Classic starts up and Acrobat opens. What I would rather have is Acrobat Reader in OS X as the default reader. Is this possible?

Freezing mouse
Hi Does anyone have any ideas why my apple puck mouse keeps freezing in OS X? I'm using an iMac DV and it's just become apparent the mouse freezes on screen and occasionally for long periods of time. I've tried swapping keyboards and the port it's plugged into but it still happens. Is it an Issue with this model mouse or is mine individual? It's a little annoying and it's my only mouse. It gets worst when more applications are open. Regards Christian
