Re: What the? AGAIN
Hi again everyone, No, Onno, I was not sending HTML ( I know enough not to send that! ). I think I may have found the problem though... I just received e-mail back from someone with the same Undeliverable Message statement including the time that I sent the original. ONLY problem is - I wasn't even home at the time and also I have no idea who the person is I was supposed to have e-mailed. As I receive bogus e-mail almost everyday now usually with a nice suspicious attachment file I dare say a virus spreader has taken hold of my e-mail address. I never open these files but they keep coming. I wonder if a virus is actually in my machine. I have the latest Virex Update and scan regularly and never open any files that I do not expect or can confirm. Has anyone else been having the same trouble?

Unlikely, unless you're one of the lucky new recipients of an as yet unknown Macintosh virus (assuming you're using a Mac, of course). Anyone can send e-mail that purports to come from your e-mail address, including viruses. This is one of the methods viruses use to encourage people to open their virus payload, and ensure their own survival. E-mail is inherently insecure, unless it's cryptographically signed or encrypted. Has anyone else been having the same trouble? Yes.

Re: Copying itunes and iphoto
Hi again Mac'ers... The itunes library on the imac is version 2... I went and purchased ilife which provides v 4 however the install did not upgrade v 2 but simply installed another copy on the hard disk.. so now I have two versions, each with different libraries. I was told to ensure I had the same versions of the itunes before copying libraries from one machine to another... so now I am wondering what to do next.. Again any advice would be appreciated...

.mac tip for the day
Hi All! Quick .mac tip for the day. If you use webmail to delete big attachments before they download to your email program, make sure you also empty the 'Deleted Messages' folder at webmail.mac.com. When you delete a message online, it still stays on the server in the deleted messages folder, but just doesn't get downloaded to your Mac. If not, you will exceed your quota quickly, but inspecting your inbox online will show there is no mail there to delete! No wonder I wasn't getting any mail!

Best Toner supplier in Perth? LaserWriter repairs?
Hi All! Two questions for a very quiet list today :-) Firstly, where is the best place in Perth to buy LaserWriter toners? I need one for a 16/600 PS. Secondly, who is a reputable repairer of laserwriters in Perth? My usual guy no longer repairs them (as he has moved from Perth), so I am looking for someone who can repair a 12/640. It has the usual paper feed problems (from both trays and duplexer) and when I have got it to print, there are horizontal lines across the paper. Any ideas? Seeya Rod!
Software Update Question
Just received 12 iBook G4 1GHz ... have downloaded and installed updates via Software Update but there are three showing in the update window which appear to be 'optional' (i.e. they didn't have a green button beside them and didn't install automatically like the other 9 packages). The first of these three is Airport Software 3.4.1 with a grey info arrow next to it and an unchecked check box. The other two are Apple Bluetooth Module Firmware 1.1 and iSight Update 1.0.2 neither of which have a grey info arrow beside them, although they each have unchecked check boxes next to them. Does the fact that these three didn't install like the rest, and require me to actively select them via the check boxes mean: 1. I don't need them on my machine? 2. They are optional on my machine and can be installed if I want? 3. Some other reason? Any help would be appreciated. --- Richard Kay Fremantle Western Australia
