I have a couple of questions on this topic which I consider may be relevant to several members. Often I see a request for help appear on the list for which I think I would also like to see the answer. Not that I am having the same problem at that time but because the topic interests me or I think it may be one to store away for future use. After several days when no answer appears on the list I just assume that the request was answered directly to the OP or that noone knew the answer. Sometimes the OP will send an email to the list thanking those members who helped him/her off list but often such acknowledgement does not contain the solution to the problem. Is it OK to the list guardians if someone follows up an original request for help asking to also be included in any answer? Or should that someone approach the OP directly off list and ask to be copied any responses which they may receive? . Peter Sealy Thurgoona AUSTRALIA
Timbuktu Pro connection
With Timbuktu you don't have to use the IP numbers (though you can), you can do it by dialling in directly modem to modem, unfortunately it does mean a STD call.

FYI, perhaps have a look at http://guide.apple.com/au/categories/3d.lasso (Select '3D Design Modelling' and then 'Find Products'.) PS Nice website.

In my opinion, prod the original poster off-list and suggest that a summary be sent to the list in due course. Some high-volume support lists actually enforce this as the mode of communication.
Re : For Sale
Hi All Starship Titanic is also gone. If you have one of these lurking at the back of your cupboard you might want to advertise it for sale, because several people wanted one. :) cheers Jude

To provide a medium for communication 2. To act as a resource for people with problems To this end there is a search facility to help find relevant info. It does not work to its bestwhen /if the person asking for answers does not reply to the list showing the successful result with the remedy that achieved that. So neither of Peter's 2 last questions should apply ! Let's just get the remedies fed back to the list .. please ! Bob

Re: Any meeting tonight 04/01/05?
Hi Brian, No meetings in January, as a lot of people might still be away on holidays. Next one is first Tuesday in February. BTW, still coming to the Amiga event on the 23rd? Seeya Rod!

OSX 10.3.7
Happy New Year to All ! Can anyone confirm that the OSX 10.3.7 Update is safe to download and install yet ? I noticed there seemed to be a lot of initial teething problems. Regards, Stephen Chape
Re: OSX 10.3.7
I had problems with it, but fixed now. The consensus was to repair permissions and/or clean your machine before downloading. Matt On 4 Jan 2005, at 19:54, Stephen Chape wrote: Happy New Year to All !

I noticed there seemed to be a lot of initial teething problems. Hi Stephen, I have installed 10.3.7 on my 1.8Ghz dual G5 with 1.5GB Ram, and did not have any problems. Mind you I only run a few applications - MS Office suite, mainly Excel,FileMaker Pro, iTunes, Safari and the other Apple 'freebies'. My printers, Epson CX5300 (also scans) and Brother HL-1430 works as usual. I do regular 'house keeping' using Yasu and MacJanitor, and every now and then DiskWarrior 3.0.2. Maybe this helps as Matt mentioned. Good luck. Philippe
