Free to good home
Free to good home, most working well. Full house 7200 - whoo who, hang on to your hats AND a SCSI colour scanner, both working fine. 7200 has 512Mb RAM and a 1mb L2 cache to help it along a bit. Running 9.1 on a 2Gb HDD. Actually works well in combination with the scanner as a pair of functional units, just old technology. 15 Apple monitor SCSI Zip drive and about 5 disks - all working AFAIK Epson 740 - the one with the PC serial and USB port connection. Printer works fine mechanically apart from some of the colour nozzles blocked. Somebody patient could probably get all the colours working again with some windex. Black is fine. 15 PC monitor - works well All free, come and pick up from Carine. Email off list if you're interested. Thanks Tim
Re: Tuesday... first in June ....... Meeting ??

Thanks Bob I think it's fair to point out that WAMUG meetings have always been, and will always be, convened on the first Tuesday of every month except January. It may happen from time to time, as it has this time, that a meeting reminder will miss being posted, but rest assured that the tradition of the first Tuesday of the month will continue unabated. The exceptional event will be the extremely unlikely one where a meeting does not occur on the first Tuesday of a month, in which case a very loud and frequent message will be posted: and WAMUG will probably be dead. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
The true elegance of Windows Vista
I was talking to a few people after last night's meeting about this (topic: it takes seven steps to remove a shortcut icon from the Vista desktop): http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=151250154size=o ...and people will continue to believe that this is how it should be done.

What I am surprised at is the Open Source look it has from those screen shots. Cant wait till people are telling me how cool Vista is, no really ;-) Cheers Paul
Re: The true elegance of Windows Vista
after a few hours mucking around on Vista beta I can say I'm not terribly impressed. Nagware would be a good term for it every attempt to configure settings is accompanied by endless popups asking for authentification, then if you if you really want to do that and the consequences of it (often type 1 Nodal windows that stop you from doing anything else with any other software currently running) then as often as not in the next step in the configuration you asked all that all over again.

Seems Microsoft have got the hint about that too, as the next beta will have much reduced nagware. Pain in the bum, but I guess there are so many stupid windows users out there that quite happily install whatever is in the email box and screw up their machine in the process. BTW, I have just installed Ubuntu 6.06 Linux on my PC laptop last night. Very nice Linux distro, quick and easy to use. Less gimmicks, more speed. I'd like to see both MS and Apple take a few notes :-) If it weren't so hard for average Joe to install software (and some of the software given a bit more polish), Linux would have a real go at Windows in x86.

Re: Slowing down a movie
Stephen Using iMovie is a new world for me. I found the edit for slowing the movie down, thank you. Now, as to a DVD. If I export it back as a Quicktime and burn it to a DVD would that work in a video player? Intuitively I feel that there must be an intervening step(s).

Re: Slowing down a movie
Once in iMovie and you have completed your tweeks, you just start up a new iDVD project and once encoding has completed the DVD will burn. No intervening steps really. iMovie iDVD are amazingly simple to use !! On 07/06/2006, at 4:07 PM, Mervyn Giuliana Bond wrote: Stephen Using iMovie is a new world for me.
