Re: nice bonus: OSX calculator currency /metric conversion
Hi Mark, A hug thank you my Calculator is Updating Currency Exchange Rates again without quitting. This is what I did ... (sort of following your instructions) : user/library/application support/calculator/financialrates.plist dragged this to trash calculator still would quit when I click Update Currency Exchange rates so continued ... user/library/caches/calculator/ ... and trashed 08 09 folders. Opened Calculator Update Currency Exchange Rates yippeee it worked, no quitting So now I know how much I'm paying again for 'stuff' I buy from the US of A.

Eudora problems
Using Eudora 6.0.2 (OSX, paid mode) on PB17 under OS 10.3.3 About a week ago, Eudora decided to stop showing new received messages as unread for any message that had been filtered to another mailbox. Any messages not filtered (ie in the IN box) were showing correctly as Unread. So I thought this might be a good time to switch to Mail. However, on importing mailboxes from Eudora into Mail, I find that any messages that I posted whilst using Eudora are showing in Mail with a Received (and Sent) date of Today!! Thinking this might be a Eudora problem, I launched Entourage X and imported the mailboxes from Eudora. To my surprise, the received date on the same messages was correct when displayed in Entourage. So then I imported the same mailboxes from Entourage into Mail, and the confusing part is that the same messages that were OK in Entourage, displayed in Mail with Today as the received date - as per the original import from Eudora into Mail. Does anyone know what's going on here? Do I have to export from Eudora in mbox format or what? Suggestions? Rod
Strange iMac/Word Problem
Hi all, As of yesterday, our receptionist's iMac (17inch, 768MB RAM, OSX 10.3.2) started behaving weirdly. When she saves word files they are invisible (even when you search for invisible files). However, you can see them with the add attachments button in Entourage, and if you send them back to the same Mac, they appear as normal. Anybody else experienced anything like this?
