Old fraud, New tricks
Hi WAMUGers, Some info for the eBay bidders. http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/12/06/1102182189439.html Australian eBay users who ignore the online auctioneer's instructions for safe bidding are losing thousands to fraud, as the company urges users to educate themselves on safe buying. eBay says just one in 10,000 transactions are fraudulent and, for the most part, the crimes are traditional confidence scams perpetrated over the internet. Alastair MacGibbon, eBay Australia's director of trust and safety, says the only way bidders can stay safe is to follow the company's guidelines. It's really about leading a horse to water, he says. This is an issue of people protecting themselves online. Cheers, Ronni When Microsoft asks you, Where do you want to go today? Tell them, Apple!

yes it does with in that (different) context but once you have bought
up the switch applications bar (cmd+tab) As per the article it
functions the same as the back arrow or the more cumbersome
shift+com+tab.

I just figured out why I got something different. I'm using 10.2 on my
Wallstreet, which does not have the 'switch apps bar'. Cmd-tab in 10.2 just
cycles through the apps, just like OS 9. The 'switch apps bar' must be
specific to 10.3.

From a User Interface perspective the 'shift' option is more
intuitive as the shift is a modifier on the command-tab meaning
'reverse'. Some Mac text editors (BBEdit for example) support
shift-delete for forward-delete, for example.

Re:quicktime or firefox bad?
Update. Real confirmed that the quicktime update mungled the configuration for SMIL 1.0 file types. If you want to return correct handling of smil files: Removing SMIL 1.0 from quicktime's file preferences won't fix the problem. However, you will note in your realplayer 'Media Types' preferences that if any of the media types you originally assigned to realplayer have been taken by another application, a bullet should appear to the right of the corresponding media type(s) and the Save Media Types button should be enabled. Try clicking on the Save Media Types button and play your content again. You may need to quit and restart firefox and realplayer. It appears that checks in the Media Type boxes are no longer a reliable UI signal :-( -- eMac 10.3.6 Build 7R28 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 768 MB DDR SDRAM

Bali Business and the BBQ :-)
Hi Wamuggians ! I have spoken with Kevin Lock about the school that got the Macs. It makes a very interesting story and I have persuaded Kevin Lock to come to the BBQ as my guest to tell the Group how they got the Macs and printers to Catur Primary School in Bali and set them up. I sat fascinated for an hour plus on a Sunday morning and I think the Wamug group would be interested to hear a potted version. I had ideas of auctioning off the remaining BBQ beef and snaggers and putting this towards the maintenance of the Machines. A 'tech' has been located who for $2.00 an hour is willing to service the machines. It is obviously no good these kids having these machines if as soon as they run into problems they are stuck. The computers were got through customs with the help of The John Fawcett Foundation, an Australian who has the ear of the Prime Minister so this not some 'tin pot organisation' and there are safeguards in place to stop the equipment going into the hands of undesirables! Url of John Fawcett Foundation :- http://www.humanitarianprojectsindonesia.org/news/newsupdate.htm Kevin is sat at the computer. Obviously we could supply more equipment but waiting to see how this lot goes would be the way to go. There are some photos of the kids which Matt is going to put up on the Wamug site so you can see who is getting the macs Mac Malcolm McCallum [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Was: Wanted Startup Disk for Apple Iic or e now AppleWorks Startup Program
It took a lot longer to organise than I thought it would, but at last it appears everything has been sorted out as far as sourcing the required disks. I'd like to thank everybody who offered help both on list and privately. This episode demonstrated one of the great reasons for belonging to a Mac User Group. In the beginning this invalid pensioner had her AppleWorks Startup disk destroyed by her grandkids. As a housebound pensioner one of her only means of entertainment (her old Apple Iic) couldn't be used. She lives in Sydney and when she called Apple they gave her the phone numbers to all 3 of the Sydney Mac User Groups. The first 2 she rang laughed and said no way they would be able to help so by the time she called the Sydney Mac Users Group which I also run and I heard her story I wanted to help. I also run the Australian Mac Users Group (whose aim is to help ALL Australian Mac User Groups and Mac users) and try to monitor/get involved with all the various Mac Groups in Australia. This is where WAMUG comes in. Of all the Australian groups I feel WAMUG has the best email list and a great membership based on my observations. It may seem strange with me being in Sydney but WAMUG was my first choice in seeking help. Despite a number of hick ups I got numerous offers of help. I'd like to publicly thank James/Hans Kurt, John Weekes, Andrew Nielson for their offers Kathy Quinlan, Rod, Robert Howells, Peter Hinchcliffe, Reg Whitely, Tom Lewis, Rod Finlay, Jon Davison for their suggestions (hope I didn't miss anyone) and James Fraser for eventually copying the disks and contacting the lady about the disks. The interesting thing is that James Fraser lives in Tasmania. It's funny that a Sydney Group went to a Western Australian Group to be helped by a Tasmanian. This whole process shows what can be achieved when Mac Users get together. It might seem minor to most people but to the lady involved it was a small miracle. All the best Greg Sharp President/Webmaster Australian Mac Users Group (AUSMUG) http://australian.macusersgroup.org
