Spam free free Email service/OT?
A while ago there was a discussion on free spam free email services, and 'MyRealbox.com' was mentioned (I think by Onno). It's a semi-testing site run by Novell. A few people would have liked to use it but it has been closed to new members for some time (years?). Just to let all know that it's open again. I've been using it for years. It's handy, never let me down, and there's no spam. (List's been quiet lately) Brett Carboni Tsunami Spam-free soo-shee
iBook SE 466 Logic boards
Does anyone know the best place to get an iBook SE 466mhz logic board cheap, as in less than $500? I've seen full iBook SE's go for that price on ebay but none are on at the moment. Perhaps someone out there has a partially dead iBook (eg broken screen) with a working logic board? Regards Christian

Address book was easy just not quite sue about mail. IF you are using the OSX Mail software Look on your old Mac under USER - Library - Mail The old Mail folders will have some size larger than 0 , depending on the quantity of Mail you are holding. I SUSPECT but you need to CHECK by using a copy that you can drag and drop all those folders INSIDE the Mail folder to replace the folders INSIDE your new Mail folder. DO NOT remove the User - Library - Mail folder itself. Only the contents .

Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech
-- Can anyone help for suggestions for installing PlainTalk voices on my 450 MHz iMac running 9.1? -- The Finder Help centre (1) mentions Mexican Spanish voices Carlos and Catalina but neither are present in my list of voices. It also says If you've installed Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech, four extra voices appear, and I'd like to do this, however can't find a source and don't know how to install. -- The help file for Ultralingua (2), which is dated 2000, also mentions Mexican Spanish PlainTalk extensions but both the web references they mention have disappeared, and I can't find anything on Apple's download pages. I did find an article (3) which said The English and Mexican Spanish Text-To-Speech software came with the Power Macintosh G3 (beige) minitower and desktop computers. Both installers can be found on the Apple Macintosh CD. -- Any suggestions, especially about access to G3 beige CD? TIA. David Noel / 2005 Mar 19 PS. I've long been irritated by the fact that text in Mac Help files etc can't be just copied and pasted. The text below was captured by making a screen save of the text (a PIC file in 9.2), increasing the resolution to 300 dpi in Photoshop, then character recognition in Omnipage. Is there a slicker way? (1) Mac 9.1 Help file Choosing the default voice You can choose the default voice your computer uses to read text aloud or speak alert messages. You can also specify how fast the default voice speaks. (Some programs have their own default speech settings.) Changing the default voice and speed To change the default voice, and to change how fast the voice speaks, use the Voice section of the Speech control panel. Help me choose a voice and speed Note: The voices labeled high quality in the Voice pop-up menu use the most random-access memory (RAM) and provide the most natural sound. The English voices Agnes, Bruce, and Victoria, and the Mexican Spanish voices Carlos and Catalina use somewhat less RAM but still sound quite clear. Choosing Mexican Spanish voices If you've installed Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech, four extra voices appear in the Voice pop-up menu in the Speech control panel. Choose one of these voices to hear Spanish text spoken with proper Mexican Spanish pronunciation. (2) Ultralingua help file: PRONUNCIATION VIA VOICE SYNTHESIS If your Macintosh has the PlainTalk extension installed, you can have your computer pronounce entries for you by selecting words with your cursor and choosing Read Selection from the Sound menu (or by pressing Command+H). Ultra Lingua will read both English and Spanish, providing you have the appropriate extensions. If you have a standard US installation, you will need to download the Mexican Spanish extensions (for free!) from Apple. To get current information for downloading English and Spanish PlainTalk packages, check with Apple (http://www.apple.com/macos/speech/) or the Ultra Lingua Speech Synthesis page, at http://www.ultralingua.com/english/speech.html. (3) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30307: PlainTalk 1.5 includes the following components: * English Speech Recognition * English Text-to-Speech * Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech The English and Mexican Spanish Text-To-Speech software came with the Power Macintosh G3 (beige) minitower and desktop computers. Both installers can be found on the Apple Macintosh CD, which allows you to reinstall your computer's system software. These components have been tested, and are supported on Power Macintosh G3 computers. Please read the Using English Text-to-Speech and Using Mexican Spanish TTS documents included with these installers for detailed information on how to use this software. = From David Noel, Ben Franklin Centre [EMAIL PROTECTED].

You need an installer CD that came with the PM G3 Beige ! Or is that just too simple, am I missing something . Bob

Re: Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech
-- Wow, so simple if you know where to look! And to think I did a search on my 9.1 CDs without finding anything under the obvious names.

iTMS in Oz
--- from Rod --- On a side note, my wife just came back from Sydney and bought a few new release CDs there. $10 each, brand new and shrinkwrapped (and in a legitimate store!). At that price, the traditional stores might put some real pressure on iTMS here in Oz. Maybe Apple Aust. can't get the prices low enough here to compete? - - While price margins are always stumbling blocks, the issue of iTMS Oz may have more to do with patent rights. I noticed that the Hong Kong firm Pat-rights (see below) has taken the trouble to lodge its patent in Oz. Vlad James -- excerpt from http://www.smh.com.au/news A Hong Kong firm is seeking a share of earnings from computer giant Apple, claiming its patented technology is being used in the successful iTunes music download service, the company's website says. Apple marketing manager in Hong Kong, June Lau, confirmed on Thursday that local tech firm Pat-rights had contacted the Californian computer firm regarding the claims. Lau would make no further comment. An entry on the Pat-rights website says that if Apple does not pay 12 percent of gross iTunes earnings by March 21 it will sue. According to US Patent Office records, Keung Tse-ho - whom the website claims is Pat-rights' founder - was awarded a patent in December 2003 for a design that allowed the protection of software against unauthorised use. The design was also lodged with Australian patent authorities. - ---
