Re: Search Window
OK, I figured it out. This is how to change cmd-f to Find by Name (by default), and cmd-shift-f to Find by Content. This is just a clarification of Francine Schwieder's post that Ronni referred to. Goto System Prefs-KeyboardMouse-Keyboard Shortcuts. Click + Change the application to Finder Type Find… in Menu Title - IMPORTANT: the 3 dots are the ellipsis character (option+;) not 3 full stops Make the Keyboard Shortcut cmd-shift-f Click Add and check in the Finder's File menu that the shortcut has changed. Go back to Keyboard Shortcuts and repeat the steps but this time the Menu Title is Find by Name… and the shortcut cmd-f. IMPORTANT: The Menu Titles are case sensitive and have to be exact to work. Now in the Finder's File menu, Find… has changed to Find by Name… This is just what I wanted. Thx WAMUG!

iPhone Syncing
I have been looking at the iPhone and the more I look the more confusing the whole deal gets. My impression is that Telstra and Optus present information on their deals in such a way that you cant make a meaningful comparison, their contractual information is presented in very long paragraphs with no spacing and very tiny print, Optus are the masters of this having one of their paragraphs approximately 1,500 words long, in pail grey print that is so small you need a magnifying glass to read it which makes it unreadable. I'm starting to feel sore in the backside already and I haven't even touched one yet. If I can get past all the above, a couple of things the iPhone users may clear up for me are: 1. As a low end user is there any particular advantage in going for the 16Gb as opposed to the 8Gb. 2. Is syncing your Calendar, Photos and Music demanding on the amount of download you use. Bearing in mind that none of them change very often. 3. With only a 2 Mega pixel camera, is the quality sufficient to print up to 8 x 10 photos. 4. And is battery life reasonable. Sorry if the questions are a bit open ended but I have to start somewhere.

If anyone on the list has some spare USB boards and even the old puck mice, I would be most grateful. I contacted Winthrop Technologies and they have just dumped a stack of such gear. I have some PC boards and whilst they do work, they lack the extra USB ports needed when a printer, keyboard and mouse is attached. Thanks for any help.
