Re: MaxStyle Opens South Perth Retail Store! (10% off all stock opening day sat 6th)
Clearly Craig you need to send some blood with that apology. To those that want to flog Craig reflect on this: Reading the Wamug website there is nothing there that says sending an email to the group notifying them of an impending event is punishable by public flogging. Also there seems to be no mechanism for contacting committee members via the website, though there is a tab for up coming events... For those of us who don't live and die by everything apple this list is how I stay informed of Mac issues etc. Craig's 'welcome' really just turns me off contributing. Craig, I'll be wandering in for a look and a chat. All the best with your new venture.

Re: Mac's at Educational Prices
Hi Natas If you read the bottom of the email there is a statement Thank you for making apple the #1 in education notebook sales. From this statement you have to agree there must be some dollars to be made through the educational area. As a lecturer to medical students who are constantly asking me about my G4 powerbook and what is it like to use an apple I know there is lots of interest in the product from the PC crowd. I show them the ease of use and the great graphic rendering that is possible. The next question is about price and so we talk about Apples education pricing and next question where to go and talk someone about a Macs. Now if you are a supplier and you limit access of a product to your own store (Apple online) then you are penalising the competition (Local Apple care centres). This is very similar to what Telstra is being pursued for by the ACC with respect to telephone line rental and wholesaling of phone lines. The result being that the local Apple centre has to refer the customer to the online store for the purchase of the product at the educational price. A price that they cannot match. I'd be pretty sure that the local Apple centre would not be getting a kickback for the referral (Maybe one of the local Apple centre guys could comment on this) In the end it comes down to taking money away from our local Apple support centres and putting it in Steve Jobs back pocket. All I see this doing is screwing down/ screwing up the survival of the local Apple centres, which we all rely on; Just getting a little bit Microsoftish IMHO.

Cheers, Ronni Replying to my own email, from what I can find out, it seems that: Quote: In most cases, older DiskWarrior 3 CDs cannot start up newer machines because they do not have the necessary System files. To start up the newest PowerBook models released at the end of October 2005, you need a DiskWarrior CD with a more current operating system. An Update CD (revision 39) with the latest startup System (Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger) and DiskWarrior 3.0.3 is available for order by calling our Sales Department at 800-257-6381 (US Toll Free) or at 281-353-4090 (International). The cost for the Update CD is US$12.95 plus US$7.95 shipping handling fees. Finally, if you purchased DiskWarrior within the last 30 days, we will send you an updated CD for the price of shipping. Seems odd to me that they are offering free upgrade software to people with older versions of DW (ie. pre-3.0.3) But if you are people who bought 3.0.3 specifically to work with Tiger, then bought a new Mac and found that DW no longer worked with Tiger - you have to pay for a replacement. End of Quote: Has anyone with a New PowerBook managed to startup from their DiskWarrior 3.0.3 CD? It is an ongoing argument I have with Diskwarrior and Australian distributor - PICA software. When purchasing a brand spanken machine you must purchase the upgrade CD for this machine from PICA at $25 each time unless of course it is within the prescribed 30 days for which I have found is bogus here in Australia. Version you purchase has to be able to start-up your machine, then you can go for the online update even though an older version will update to latest being 39 bad luck have to purchase an upgrade CD for current machines. This is an email response, one of many from PICA earlier in the year.. Hi Rob, I can understand your frustration, however this has always been the procedure with Diskwarrior. It is unfortunate that the disk was just purchased, however revision 36 did not begin shipping until Feb 14th, however I would have expected the reseller to have the revision prior to this. It may be worth discussing the situation with them to see if they can come up with an appropriate solution. Once revision 36 is obtained this will boot your PowerBook, minor software updates and most hardware upgrades will not affect this. You will only need to obtain another minor update if you obtain a new computer and/or when a new version of OS X (i.e. 10.4.x) is released. This is simply an update, not an upgrade hence the price. Diskwarrior is a great product for repairing hard disks as well as preventing damage, however the reason for this is the fact that it contains unique information about each Mac on the market. without this information the product will not perform as it cannot meet the standards that are required. Cheers, Mairian. My solution has been to learn about FSCK from the internet and with assistance of some very Patient folk over at the Perth Linux User Groups (PLUG) mailing list or monthly workshops. Hence, have not needed DiskWarrior for some time just run the Apple scripts through Cocktail and problems seem to resolve themselves. Which I have not seen any since using 10.4 and later .3 OS X anyway. Defragmenting and corruption issues are solved by using HFS+ Journalling file system and Disk Utility monthly, which is utilising FSCK anyway. http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintainingmacosx.html Another informative site for OS X issues http://www.macosxhints.com Finally, if not implemented already Introduce yourself to a backup regime, Automator and an external firewire drive works for me. No need for said software and save a bit of money on upgrades. Cheers! `Rob... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too all! ( for those politically correct, or offended. Happy Holidays!)

Re: Ebay
To All re ebay This type of auction pre-apporoved bidder type is currently under investigation by several agencies. The auctions are run by individuals who have stolen anothers email identity and use it to list items on ebay. A trick to picking the cons is to see what the seller has sold in the past and I bet it wasn't computer gear. They will ask you to depoisit money through western union and also say they are sending you a UPS booking number. They may also give you some bull about it being part of a bankrupt store sale OS. UPS will give anyone a booking number without sending goods as they give out quote numbers for transport. Please report to ebay and if you get caught the federal police who will take details of the site/auction. Also there is the escrow service that ebay offer however the scammers will give you a reason why they can't do that. It is similiar to scams running involving cheap plasma screens, digital cameras, large LCD screens. most are coming out of central Europe and are very difficult/almost impossible to track. Buyer beware. Note ebay only give fraud protection to $400 and then its all your cost. . In closing if you can't touch it don't buy it.

Re: quick laptop question
hi to the interested Have been the victim of Toshiba quality for the past 4 years. Work for Govt dept that seems to have a love affair with the company. Sadly the satelitte series has been a huge disappointment. Recurrent similiar failures involving video power supplies, and other varied technical short comings requiring the machines to be shipped back to Sydney for repair as the local agents not authorised by Toshiba to do repairs. Okay if you live over east but when you live in the west it means being without your machine for 2 to 3 weeks. ( Broome to Perth to Sydney to Perth to Broome) as Toshiba will not receive goods or send goods directly to the client. Indeed with 2 of the machines they travelled to Sydney twice to have the same problem fixed. can't comment on the 2003 or 04 versions as we won't be touching Toshiba again. So for after sales service I would give Toshiba a big fat Egg. And for quality of product regardless of price the old adage is true you get what you pay for (almost) ;o). End of Spleen venting..

ebay G5 bargain
Hi all Was surfing ebay the other night and came across this sweet deal. supposedly these nice people in Italy send you a new G5 and a 23 inch cinema screen for the below price and they pay for postage/delivery. The delivery cost alone from italy to Aust for the UPS 48 hours service for an item of this size is around $1000. I'm sure they'll manage to rip some poor fellows of. Is similiar group that were peddling plasma screens and digital camera recently. If you want a laugh check out ebay. the guys whose email they have highjacked usually sells crockery :o). sadly the ebay group refuses to axe auctions like this which are clearly bogus. apparently no crime committed until they actually rip someone off. Just another example of buyer beware, and keep those passowrds secure. Lindsay Hello Lindsay, If you agree with what i am going to propose to you we have a deal. First of all i need your full name and address,so i can make a reservation at UPS service for sending the package and you will have it in 48 hours at your place. Look below are all the details I think you need to close this deal quick and successfully. I'm sales representative for an US corporation that trades its products and since the end of November l'm working for their Italian office. THE BUY IT NOW PRICE FOR THIS PRODUCT IS AU $2,699.00 WITH SHIPMENT INCLUDED and you can buy it without winning the auction. Right now l'm located in Palermo (country: Italy) because here I meet my source directly in the factory. The product is brand new, factory sealed with all the accessories. It is an US model and will come with warranty fully transferable to your name. It will come with the receipt from the authorized dealer and there will be no problem for you to use the warranty. Shipping: l will ship via UPS but you can choose other mail carrier .ltusually takes 48 hours till the package arrives to your door. l will cover the shipping and insurance costs. Payment: l'm a serious seller with more than 2 years of experience in this field. l'm a fair trader with a very good feedback on ebay which is the proof that l have closed a lot of successful deals. During this period l learned that best deals are made when the risk involved is minimum. You will arrange payment through western union. I have something safe for you because I want you to be sure that you will receive the product and I hope we will collaborate in the future too because I want to develop this business as soon as possible. Look what I can do for you: -you will make the transfer to my location but not to my name(you will use your best friends name for example as receiver's name)so you can be sure that I will not pick up the money until you get the product.So you make a deposit at western union and you will give me the transfer's details(SENDER'S NAME,RECEIVER'S NAME,MTCN) so i can check that the deposit was made. After i verify I will send you the product immediately and email you the tracking number from UPS. -only after you will receive the product and check if it OK you will have to change the of the transfer to my name so i can collect my money. So until you will NOT have the product in your hands money will be deposited in your best friend's name at an western union agent. My old buyers of course make the transfer at western union directly to my name which is easier and i will be happy if you can trust me in doing so but because it is our first deal i proposed you this very safe and efficient method so you can only deposit the money first and after you will get the product to allowed me to cash it. Probably this payment method it is not very familiar to you but since i am in Italy (where is a lot of bureaucracy ) l am used to it each of my customers being satisfied with it. l have to admit that it is the most efficient process to go through. Return policy: 20 days.my suppliers only approved this kind of deal and that is why i have to follow his desire.

Phil, sorry to hear about the visitation you had. would also suggest we keep an eye out on ebay as this seems to be the modern way of fencing goods (no ID needed). Do you have serial numbers etc? Good luck with the search Lindsay
