Yep, but email is absolutely haywire.  It feels like some thing is operating MY

Well I got mine, Ronni’s and Bill’s so I feel better now !!
Just renewed my Bigpond contract a couple of days ago and started to wonder if 
there was an issue !

I must congratulate Westnet on this.
I have been using Bigpond for about 4 years since I moved home and Westnet’s 
speed crashed terribly.
I discovered that our local sub exchange is ancient and only Telstra oriented, 
so had no choice.
My Telstra contract expired in Feb 2014.
So I contacted Westnet and was told by a very honest man that I would be better 
staying with Telstra for now, because the situation has not changed !

How is that for customer service ?

 Hi Bill,
 
 All my email accounts are behaving correctly today. I have had heaps of email 
 from my IMAP Accounts (too many as usual) and my only POP account Westnet is 
 working fine also.
 
 Stephen, the only emails from WAMUG today (so far) were subject: iiNet IMAP 
 with 10.9.2  Strange!

Hi all,
I can't recall who it was, but someone emailed advising that if subs had been 
paid July onwards, they would not be due until July again ?  Did I understand 
this correctly ?  Hence, I haven't paid

Printing from an iPad ?

2014-04-07 Thread Stephen Chape
Hi folks,

A friend of mine has just bought an iPad Air.
She brought it to my place last night because she could not set up Gmail on it.
Took me about 5 minutes.
I think sometimes Apple products are so easy to use that some people can’t see 
the wood for the trees.
Someone who has always used Windows tends to think everything must be 
complicated.

She has a Windows laptop that she still uses.
When I asked her why she said “when I type documents in Word I can print them 
from my laptop, but I can’t print from my new iPad”

If she installs Pages is there any way she can print from the iPad ?

The only internet connection she has is a wireless dongle plugged into her 
laptop.
She has no printer and says she prints any documents she needs on paper at her 
local library.

I WOULD IKE TO ENCOURAGE HER TO JUST USE THE IPAD FOR ALL HER NEEDS !

Stephen Chape

Surprised myself !

2014-04-07 Thread Stephen Chape
Huh !!

I was reading a letter “I stream with mine” to Macworld Australia on page 8 of 
the latest edition.
I was thinking to myself “that’s an interesting reply” when I suddenly noticed 
the writers name ….. ME !
OMG … they actually published it. I forgot I had written it !

I had better keep this edition in my “memories chest”.
