Re: New iPads?
I have my new one, delivered about 1.00 p.m. today. I've been to a Telstra shop and bought my new micro sim. I also go a camera connection kit, case and VGA connector, which Apple shipped as three separate parcels. Fortunately TNT were able to work it all out and get it here in one delivery. I rang them this morning to get an approximate time of delivery, but they said they could not give a delivery time for the ipads as they had so many to deliver. So, there must be others out there who got one today. I already had a 16g wireless only one bought off Ebay, but having it over the last month really confirmed that I use it all the time, hence the upgrade to a 64gb 3g version. cheers, Susan.

Sharing data plans between iPad and mobile phone.
Hi Sue and others, can anyone tell be if any Australian mobile phone carriers allow you can combine your iPad 3G account with the data plane on your mobile phone? You can do this in Spain but not in the US. It just makes sense that you should be able to combine accounts so that you share the data plan under one name/account.

Hi Eugene I have asked Allphones and 3 if i could combine my internet and ipad (meaning using my whole 6GB data plan for both internet and ipad). p/s: i am thinking of getting an ipad, do not have it yet. No, i have to get another plan for ipad separately, but can have it on the same 1 bill (which i have for my internet and mobile). Hope this helped for people who wished to lump everything together.

How to draw a helix?
Hello everyone Can anyone suggest a way to draw a helix (coil spring). I want something like the one at http://www.eldoradosoft.com/images/3pi/track_planning/Helix13.gif but with 5 or 6 turns. I don't have any 3D software, but I do have Adobe Illustrator CS, Inspiration and Omnigraffle. I found I could trace shapes with bezier curves in omnigraffle, but it's still not smooth enough.

Hi Rob, SketchUp is free 3D software with a (very) large following - I haven't really played with it yet but I'm sure it can cope with a helix (and more) - check it out here: http://www.google.com/sketchup/download/ They have lots of examples and you may even find a ready-drawn spring in their component libraries.

I have a Macbook Pro which is my main computer and a Macbook Air which is my travelling computer. I have Mail set up on the Pro. Next week I am going to Holland for 20 weeks will be taking the Air. While I can manage my emails somewhat using webmail to access delete, I could quite likely still have about 3000 emails to download when I return (going on what happened after a two week trip last year). In that instance, the download fried Eudora, which I was using then, and corrupted a whole lot of my saved emails, merging many together. I don't want this to happen this time. What I am thinking is to copy all the relevant Mail folders across to the Air before I go and then do the reverse when I return. Can someone please let me know which folders I do need to move as opposed to all Mail folders, or how to find that info myself? I have done a search under Finder just now but it only turned up the Mail app and a million other files, none of which seem to be from Mail. Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Alex You don't say whether your email account is using PO3P or IMAP. If it is POP3 (which would be my guess) my best advice would be to make sure that Mail is set to delete the messages from the server once they are downloaded (Mail Preferences Accounts Your Account Advanced). This does carry its own implications, though, the main one being that you will lose synchronisation between what you see in Mail and what you see in webmail. As you will obviously need an internet connection wherever you are in order to read new mail anyway, be it Mail or webmail, this should not be a concern. I would do two things (assuming Mail is set up the same way on both computers): 1. Before you leave, copy the Mail folder from your ~/Library/ Preferences folder on the Macbook Pro to the corresponding location on your Air (after first backing up or archiving the one on the Air of course). 2. When you return, copy the Mail folder back to your Macbook Pro. This way, your the number of residual emails left on the Server when you return should be relatively small. If your account is an IMAP account, then the mail is all managed on the Server side anyway so it's much less of a problem, and you can ignore the above.

improving jpg resolution
Hi muggers I am presently going through my blue whale id image catalogue, and some of them are not so clear, mainly due to the distance of whale from the camera at the time. So when I zoom in the detail is not so good, even after improving the image in photoshop with contrast, brightness, levels etc. I suddenly thought if there is any software that would enable me to improve (even marginally) the image I have? Does anyone know of this and could please advise? Im not so optimistic and pretty much think it depends on the original image. I did some google searches and there is some software available for PC's but nothing came up for macs. best regards Chris -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: improving jpg resolution
Aperture and Graphic Converter have image sharpeners. Of course, there are strict limits which depend upon the sharpness of the original image.
