Seagate 1TB
Hi all, I see Betta Electrical have a 1TB Seagate drive for $189, no details given in catalogue but presumably USB only. Seems like a good deal though - any views?

Re: Mail message won't go away
Hah, yes indeed it does Ronni. Cut makes it disappear without a fuss. Quit mail and reopened to make sure it has stayed away and it has, I suppose we'll never know why it wouldn't delete, Cheers, Graham On 26/05/2009, at 1:49 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Graham, Can you highlight the email, then click on Edit and choose Cut.

Re: Problem with WD My Book drive
My USB 1TB one, blew the power supply and then did the same to a replacement power supply (within 30secs). I'm wondering if this is likely to be a fixable thing because can't find receipt and don't know how much stuff is on there that i no longer have elsewhere.

I bought one a few weeks ago and experienced problems with formatting the disk. I eventually managed to format it as a Mac drive and was able to transfer some data on to it. However during heavy usage, using GraphicConverter to convert fairly large amount of photos from jpg to tiff, the drive would suddenly disappear from the desktop. System Profiler was not even able to see the drive, or on odd occasion would see the drive but reported the origin as 'unknown'. Disk Utility would not see the drive once it disappeared. I eventually returned the drive and was given a new replacement. I followed WD instructions in updating the firmware for OS 10.5.x, formatted the disk and have been working with it for 2 weeks until the same problem occurred. The only way I am able to remount the disk is to pull the FW connector, wait a couple of minutes and plugging it back. I did encounter the problem with the initial drive on both FW and USB. I run a G5 1.8Ghz dual, OS 10.5.6 with 2.5GB RAM. Will I have to return this drive back?? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Monitor/TV query
Hi All, I'm wanting to ditch the old TV and move to a more computer-centred home audio/video experience. Either, simply buy a moderate size Monitor that can connect to my laptop (G4 Al. 17) and also accept AV input from Video Recorder - (for TV). Or perhaps buy a mac mini to use as dedicated audio/visual unit and connect to monitor as above. Or move into the Digital TV era, with either powerbook or new mac mini and some kind of eyeTV device?. I assume others have recently been down these various paths and would appreciate any advice that they may have. I'm in the geraldton area, get really good TV reception on all available channels with existing on-roof ariel - if this is relevant for digital reception Cheers, Graham -- 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

HD Failure Powerbook
Hi all, The HD (Hitachi IC25N080ATMR04-0) has died in my : PowerBook G4 17; model 5,3; CPU G4 (1.1), 1.33GHz, Tiger 10.4.10 Any views on a good replacement, I don't mind paying more for better/ quieter/cooler/etc. The instructions for replacement seem fairly straightforward but I'd appreciate any opinions/advice on doing this myself (I put more RAM in, but that's the limit of my experience - well actually i'm a qualified telecommunications technician, but that was a long time ago, phones had dials and exchanges had big, clunky, noisy stepping relays. I gather things have changed a bit) I'm in the Geraldton area, but travel to Perth fairly frequently. Also, is there any freeware/shareware data recovery software around (of course i made backups, but .. . ). Couldn't find any on VersionTracker.

New imac advice wanted
Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a new desktop machine to complement my G4 powerbook. I'm thinking 20 imac, 2.4GHz, and have a couple of questions 1. Should I wait for Leopard? 2. Most seem to come with ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO but winthrop shop at UWA advertise Radeon X1600 Graphics card (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT in the 24}. Which is better? Does it matter? I'm not a big game player or video editor at the moment but I don't want to limit the options. Are there any other options I should consider? I would want 2GB RAM but otherwise 'as advertised' seems fine. 3. There seems to be a bit more price variability than there used to be in the apple world? Are there any special deals around at the moment? In terms of price i've seen: $2,149: 20, 2.4GHz, 1GB, 320GB, Radeon HD 2600 PRO: @ nextbyte, stirling highway $2,069.10 20, 2.16GHz, 1GB, 250GB, Radeon X1600 : @ UWA Campus (edu price, RRP is $2,299, they say) Seems that it's not much of edu discount for a lesser machine. I also saw some at Myer in Perth, just as they were closing on Sunday - they seemed fairly cheap but I had no time - and now I'm back in Dongara for a few weeks.

internet banking concern
Hi All, While in the process of transfering funds from a NAB account using safari, the name and bsb details changed to those of someone i do not know and have not previously paid any money to. Is it possible for someone to hijack auto form complete or some such? It gave me a fright and i cancelled and logged out immediately. Using safari, 10.48, G4 Powerbook, I've also been having some slow down issues lately, Graham
