Re: Local spammers...
I recently received a spam in which they had forgotten to hide the addresses. It was obvious that they had sent the e-mail to all addressees that began mcgrath@ and then just added the names of as many ISPs as they could find. Therefore an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be very easy for them to add to their list. Peter McGrath On Sat, 12 Apr 2003 12:03:27 +0800, the splendid Peter Hinchliffe expostulated: I am constantly reminded of the experience I had setting up a new iMac for a client a little over a year ago. Although her ISP is iinet, she had never actually used her iinet POP account, preferring instead to use her Yahoo account via IE (yeah, well...). The point is, not knowing this at the time of setting up her computer, I blithely went along and set up her email account details in Mail and downloaded what was there. There were 48 messages waiting for her, in an account SHE HAD NEVER USED! -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

Printing problems
I have a Canon BJC 3000 connected to my iMac (500Mhz, OS9.2.1) and every time I try to print something the application I'm trying to print from unexpectedly quits. This happens no matter what the application. I can print to file (using print to PDF). I've tried reinstalling the printer driver and I've connected the printer to another iMac to check it (it worked) but I still can't get it to print from my machine. Has anyone got any ideas? TIA Peter McGrath

OS X universal drivers
Someone told me the other day that OS X includes a universal driver for many printers and other devices. Would this work with my Canon BJC 3000 printer? I'd be quite interested in the answer as the lack of a OS X driver for my printer is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to OS X. Peter McGrath
