We are overstocked on 40GB 7200RPM Barracuda hard drives so these are going out (while stocks last) at $150 each. Prices will increase 20% once stock has run down so if you are thinking about a new internal drive or extra storage now is the time to act - http://www.zytech.com.au/other/drives/segate/segate.html And remember our 80GB Pyro FireWire drive is currently on special at $399. Response to the offer has been massive so we are holding this special open - http://www.zytech.com.au/special.html Our $89 64MB and $149 128MB USB pen drives are back in stock. Remember these are totally cross platform plug'n'play but if you want faster transfer times in OS X and don't need the cross platform functionality, simply reformat the pen drive as a Mac volume in Apple Disk Utility. Next month we will be releasing pen drives in capacities up to 1GB. http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/pen/index.html And the latest in the RAM market some commentary - China's latest back-to-school purchasing wave has stirred the long-slumbering PC market. Demand for the for the newest models have caused DDR (double data rate) module demand in China's clone market to skyrocket. In a time when channel stocks have been very thin, the China demand has sent prices soaring. To worsen the issue most major fabs are having yield or supply line issues bringing their lines from SDRAM onto DDR so prices seem set to rise even further over July. Key issues include; · China back to school demand sends DDR prices soaring. · SDRAM prices expected to follow DDR trend. · FABS struggling to meet DDR demand After a period of general stability or reduction, SDRAM prices are headed north sucked along by DDR and in response to reduced production capacity as fabs move to DDR.

Re: To partition or not?
It is politically correct to partition the drive and I have run multi-partition drives for MANY, many years. However, since installing OS X 16 months ago I went against the advice and for the first time ever ran a single partition drive. Bottom line is that I've never had a problem that has made me consider reverting to multi partitions. Today I installed my new Travelstar GN-X drive (it is FAST!) on my TiPB and after procrastinating at length, decided to stay with the single partition. The important thing is to keep your drive (whether it be single or multi-partition) in pristine condition. Do all the regular maintainence things and set aside the time to run DiskWarrior regularly. Make backups part of your routine and if you can afford it, buy Retrospect and a spare hard drive and automate this process.

Printing photos ?
Hi folks, I made my first attempt to print some photos a couple of days ago and the result was not as good as I guess it could be. However by the time I made a decent improvement I ran out of photo paper. I have an iMac 266 with 288 MB RAM OSX 10.1.5 I use a Nikon F60 SLR camera and post my film to Extrafilm on the east coast for developing. The prints are returned with a CD containing the photos in JPG format in small, medium large (the large being about a megabyte each). I used Appleworks Draw to assemble three 6 x 4 photos on each A4 sheet. I then selected BEST quality and selected the appropriate paper type, in this case premium photo paper. I gradually discovered that by converting the large JPG files to PICT files the quality improved a lot. The JPG prints were very blotchy (especially skin tones). I also tried TIFF which were better but not as good as PICT. My printer is an HP 880C. Is there any more I can do to improve the picture quality without diving into expensive software purchases. ? Also any recommendations for paper type would be appreciated. -- Regards, Stephen Chape

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with .mac charging
Dear Steve and Co. I've never written to you before. The keynote is just over and I am very happy with most of the announcements Except for the new charges for .mac. I've just read the online FAQ about .mac. When you introduced iTools, you encouraged its use and promoted it as a free, value-added service to Mac users. Many loyal (some also very long-time) Mac users happily accepted your invitation to use this service, assuming that it would be around a long time and remain free for at least the basic services as introduced. Many have created web sites that have been in place for a while, indexed by various search engines and referenced by many other sites. Many have made mac.com their main email address and have subscribed to numerous mailing lists. Now you say it's costing too much money to run. Well I can understand that things in life are often not free but wasn't the running cost to be included in the cost of a Mac? This US$100=A$200 per year is WAY over the top for the average user who just mostly wants a basic email service and maybe a few MB of web space. By all means charge for the extra services and storage capacity for those that need them but please leave the existing basic services alone. If I knew you would be charging anywhere near this amount I never would have signed up. I've also encouraged someone else to get a mac.com address for himself and his wife which went part way to convincing a long-time PC user to by a new iMac G4 recently. I strongly doubt they'll be subscribing to .mac. But I guess it appears that's exactly what you want - to get rid of the trouble-makers costing you money. Anyone in Apple's management should have been able to see this would be an extremely unpopular decision and would get loyal mac users off side.

Re: To partition or not?
I've never bothered partitioning anything...then again, I am sometimes politically incorrect! Seriously though, I agree with Keith regarding regular maintenance. I use the best of Diskwarrior, Techtool3 and Nortons to keep my machine purring.slowly, but steadily!! (G3 with OS 9.2 and OS X...2 drives, with both systems on the smaller/standard 4 GB drive, second drive for storage, then transfer to CD). I have set up other machines to include a drive partition around 650 MB or so..when filled, it is then burnt to CD). Phil It is politically correct to partition the drive and I have run multi-partition drives for MANY, many years. However, since installing OS X 16 months ago I went against the advice and for the first time ever ran a single partition drive.
