Deat Matt, I am shocked to hear of John's Death and very sorry I cannot attend his Funeral as I am in Banff. Please convey to his wife and family my deepest sympathy. I will miss his humour, expertise, pithy comments and everything that was John. Wamug will not be the same. Who the hell will I sit next to at the Xmas BBQ? :-( Mac

Maybe need a new email address. Iinet provide very good spam protection, but I did also need a new email address to avoid getting some spam. If I check the old address, there is still some junk mail getting through on it, so sometimes it appears that an address is just too available to spammers to be used any more, at least for your day to day emails.

info on BB connection
Yesterday we had a Telecom man it fix a problem with noise on our phone line. The fix was successful and I gleaned useful information about our broadband connection not forthcoming from either Telecom or iinet. Previously I have been told that our area is serviced by a 'twin pair gain' line and this was the reason we could not get ADSL2+not so. From the Spearwood exchange there is optical cable to a Rim (a minor exchange) near our house and from there our suburb (Bibra Lake) is served by copper. The reason iinet cannot give us ADSL2+ is that Telecom will not allow third parties to use the Rim ports. Iinet are installing their own equipment in exchanges. Sooo, it seems that I need to go with Bigpond to get the higher speeds. I will report on progress. Kev

They both do the same function , although different technology . A RIM is not really a minor exchange : It's a connecting point , rather than a switching point like an exchange . Just because there is a RIM does not mean a 1500MB or faster line is available . Availability will depend on the allocated use for the Mb speed available and the Cards that are used to interconnect to the copper circuits . Good luck Bob
bigpond cable wireless
Still having problems with home setup using Bigpond Cable and LinkSys G wireless broadband router. It's currently not working. Am using ethernet cable plugging into Mac (17 1.33Mhz Powerbook) to connect. Getting complaints from my Mom as her iMac downstairs can't connect wirelessly any more :-( Funny thing is it used to work for years. Of course Bigpond is no help (we don't support that configuration ... etc). Would change suppliers but may not be here much longer. Anyone have any ideas? Pls drop me a quick email if you have this system working. T.I.A. Brett Carboni Tsunami Swift Sushi Support

They said it was my default address, but it wasn't. I changed services and still get the same stuff. I was also told that if you have your address on a web site it can be easily picked up by spammers. I've given up trying to fight it, and end up deleting a whole bunch of stuff each day.

Mike Mike Lucky you , but you miss the point . Kev would not be able to get Amnet 8MB line even if his exchange was enabled. To do that , you need a copper circuit to the exchange and be located close to it OR have an Optic fibre distribution from the exchange to a Distribution box near his home AND that BOX be equipped to handle 8 MB lines . To my knowledge they do not make such an animal ... yet . This is what the argument is between Telstra and the ACCC at the moment . The ACCC wants to Price Fix wholesale charges at a figure that Telstra says is not commercially attractive. If somebody gives the GO signal then a few Billion dollars need to be spent to make it happen . Meanwhile , if you enjoy your 8Mb line , plan to NOT change houses. It may not be available at another address . Bob KEVIN Lock wrote: Yesterday we had a Telecom man it fix a problem with noise on our phone line.

Diskwarrior stuck
I just tried running DiskWarrior 3.0.2 in a dual g4 mirror door running tiger. The machine is having a lot of trouble starting up and I couldn't even get it to start from the disk without trouble. Eventually I got it up via a normal startup and changed the system preferences to force it to startup from the diskwarrior disk. The disk was unable to repair the mac HD, and I have since realised that I should have updated my DiskWarrior for Tiger, which I can still do via my other computer, but I can't get the G4 to start up from anything other than the disk, so it won't release the disk. I have tried Holding the mouse to eject the disk on startup. Ignored Holding command - s during startup. Ignored Holding shift on startup. Ignored Changing the settings in system preferences. Greyed out. What can I do to startup from the normal system and relase the DiskWarrior disk? Any help would be appreciated. cheers Jude
Re: Diskwarrior stuck
Thanks everyone for the prompt help. None of the keyboard suggestions worked - although I had forgotten a couple of them! For some reason the mac was just ignoring the keyboard on startup. I solved the issue by removing the drive and using the paperclip method :) cheers Jude
Re: In Confidence,
Absolutely! Even with the spam filter on HIGH. I would suggest that it is impossible to avoid entirely, but putting your spam filter on HIGH as well as asking your ISP to do likewise, with regard to your mailbox, does eliminate about 99% of what comes through. Rather unfortunately, it is the bane of every ISP's life, not to mention those of us trying to use the internet legitimately. And also, rather unfortunately, the scammers got a toe-hold before we all realised what was going on a few years ago. I guess no one thought back then, that the internet would be used for selling!!
