Apple History
Dear WAMUG'rs, For those interested in Apple history and more so in Woz's whereabouts, have a look at this article from everymac.com: This Month's Book Selection: iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon (New!) Steve Wozniak, Gina Smith The mastermind behind Apple sheds his low profile and steps forward to tell his story for the first time. Wozniak's life -- before and after Apple -- is a home-brew mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution.

Neil is right - it is horrible HTML, possibly vying for the worst we have ever seen, and we too would wonder about the professionalism of the company. The site appears to have been created by saving HTML out of Microsoft Word - enough said.

Severin Crisp Hi Severin, Without knowing what version of Mail I would suggest as a first step, try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the account's Inbox mailbox. All messages in the account's Inbox mailbox will disappear temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized with the server. Depending on how many messages are available in the account's Inbox mailbox and the number and size of message attachments, this can take a little time for the re-sync process to be 100% complete. Another thing, the Mail Account's Server could have been down. Cheers, Ronni

Office Assistant - Office 2004
Dear WAMUG'rs, I have just purchased, very cheaply, Office 2004 for Mac - Student/Teacher Edition. I have found that the Office Assistant is limited to only the 'Box' named Max (the Old Mac icon). Right-clicking on the Office Assistant produces a menu, and choosing Chose Assistant I find the forward and back arrows greyed-out. Seems to indicate there is nothing available bar 'Max'. Is there a way for me to transfer the other 'assistants' from my other Office X, which I still have? If not can I download the 'assistants' from MS site? I have looked around but has not been successful. Office X, also a Student/Teacher edition, did come with a pretty good collection of Assistant creatures! Would just love to have them on the 2004 edition though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Philippe C. -- Life is raw material. We are artisans.

Re: Mail problem
Hi Severin, I don't use mail myself - but I gave it a quick fire up to see if I understood the problem. One thing I noticed is unlike Entourage where: when you drag the divider to change the relative size of the message list/mail view windows it stops before you reach the bottom of the enclosing window - so the message window never disappears With mail you can, in fact, drag the divider right to the bottom so that there is only one window visible (the message list) - so the first thing to check is that the window is, in fact, divided into two halves - if not (ie there is a double line with a dot in it at the bottom of the window) then just drag the divider (looking like the bottom border) back up again to reveal the mail view window. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be the options in preferences to select or deselect this option so I wouldn't know! I hope the above makes some sense!! Hope that helps Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Hi again Susan John, To John my apologies for sending my reply to your mail address, so am now readdressing it to WAMUG's. For those interested, after reading both your emails, I looked at the installing DVDs for both editions and found that there is a folder called Assistant, but in the Office 2004 Assistant folder there was only the one file 'Max', whereas Office X had about 6 or seven of them!! I did copy them across to my hard-drive, in Office 2004's folder. So, now I can annoy myself to my heart's content with my beloved 'Rocky'. Many thanks again for opening my eyes and pointing to the obvious. Regards, Philippe Hi Susan John, Many thanks for the good news. I'll be able to have my pet dog back when I work in Exel!!

The other drives all switch on and mount. I have checked all cables which seem secure and sound. The drive has always been superquiet and vibration free and I can not tell by feel if it is spinning. What other checks can I do? Severin Crisp I've had several (Sarotech and Maxtor)units blow their transformers which supply the power to spin the disk and power the disks controller but, in the case of those specific models, the interface bridge card (or at least part of it) is actually powered by via the FireWire bus rather than the units own power supply (so hence the lights come on). firstly remove all other devices from the chain including the hub - use a known good cable - the one from the computer to the hub should be fine as it allows other drives on the hub to mount. check to see if it appears in the apple system profiler in FireWIre. you may see the case's bridge card but not the drive (suggesting either dead drive or loose internal cable connections in the case. you might see something that looks like a unknown or generic FireWire device with no sub devices - this sometimes means that part of the bridge board in the drive case has blown turn the computer off, turn the drive off, disconnect the power supply to the drive. power the drive back up then power up the computer. see if it mounts. if not then - turn off all extraneous hardware (including the computer) then power up the drive there should be an initial whirring noise, maybe followed by one or more short mechanical clicks Easiest way to test if it's spinning is to hold the drive unit flat in your palm and try twisting your hand around in a waving good bye motion, the inertia from the spinning disks should present a fairly noticeable difference between rotating your hand clockwise V's anti clockwise. You can also hold the disk unit edge on and attempt to fan and twist it around, again, if the disk is spinning you will notice it will be easy to swing it one way but the other way it will try to vector off slightly under it's own rotational force. if the drive is not spinning, turn off and disconnect the power lead, open the case, and check your wiring from the power supply to the bridge card and the drive .. also try sniffing the power supply unit for a burnt smell - it will probably be faint but sharp and acrid. If it has a external brick this can be difficult as they are generally too well sealed to let the smoke out don't touch the powers supply unit though as even with the power cable unplugged you might still get a painful stinging zap from any residual charge in the larger capacitors. if you don't get it spinning up after checking the cables swap the drive in to a case of one of the known good drives and put the known good drive (or a spare known good drive) in to the dead case. you'll find (hopefully) that which ever unit is dead won't work in it's new configuration. ie. possible dead bridge/power supply + known good disk WON'T work but possible dead disk WILL work with known good bridge/power supply obviously you may have the the rare but still possible situation of both a fried bridge/power supply AND fried hard disk. ___ _ Assoc Professor R Severin Crisp, FIP, CPhys, FAIP 15 Thomas St, Mount Clarence, Albany, 6330, Western Australia.

FW: Airport on 17 Powerbook playing up
Further to the message (copied below) about my Powerbook reception issue, the problem continues, and I think that there must be some kind of internal aerial that's come loose. I understand that in some models the aerial sits in the lid, and sometimes it seems that if I pull the lid down and then open, it seems to make a difference. Does anyone know of any graphics or diagrams on the web that show me how the internal airport card and/or aerial are set up? I'm pondering whether to climb in and try fixing it myself.

Lately, for no apparent reason, my 17² PowerBook, running 10.4.8, seems to display a relatively low signal strength (eg. 1st bar only, or 1st and 2nd bar on the Airport status symbol in the menu bar). It also seems slow to access web pages and send/receive mail, and intermittently goes offline altogether. I also have an iBook (same OS) and Hewlett-Packard PC accessing the network, and when I put these machines in the same location as the PowerBook, no problem with them in terms of signal strength. Also, there is a neighbour with a wireless network as well. Normally, both iBook and PowerBook have no trouble seeing this network. Now, the iBook does, but the PowerBook doesn't. It all seems to point to something wrong with the PowerBook. Can anyone suggest what might be different? Could it be an Airport hardware issue with the PowerBook? Thanks! Steven

Maureen I think it started working today. Certainly not before. I logged on this morning and got to my Yr8 Sc class. First problem was when I tried to select Level 3 consistently (or whatever), it wouldn't enter, it just put undefined in the cell. Second problem was that the algorithm for allocating grades from levels did not work, wasn't there and seemed like it wanted me to make up a grade. I will do mine at school.

Re: Firewire Hd not mounting
Many thanks to the various prompt responses to my query. Mark Secker pointed me to the cause by noting that the bridge is powered from the FW cable. I had assumed that light on meant power on. In fact the power plug, in amongst a mass of plugs and cables behind my workstation had been knocked by my dear wife with the vacuum cleaner, a job which of course I should do myself in this area!! It was just this one that had been merely nudged, all the myriad other units were operational! A relief, though everything is backed up.Thanks, Mark and others!
