Colour Laser BW printing costs
Does anyone have recent experience with any of the new crop of sub $1000 colour laser printers w.r.t. their BW printing costs. For most of us this is the most important factor and I don't want to be caught in the same way I was for inkjets. Some of them are well priced but they need windows to power them in some way. T.I.A.

Apple Mail attachments
There seems to be little control over the way Apple Mail handles attachments. Firstly, the Windows Friendly Attachments box is unchecked by default but I would like it the checked by default as I am always forgetting to set it and for some recipients, notably with .doc attachments, this spells disaster. Is there a way of changing this? With JPEG images they are always inserted into the email, which is fine but often I would prefer them to go as attached icons like PDF or .doc or other uninsertable files. Is there a way around this? Maybe there is a hidden preferences panel that I have not found yet? TIA Severin Crisp Assoc Professor R Severin Crisp, FIP, CPhys, FAIP 15 Thomas St, Mount Clarence, Albany, 6330, Western Australia.

[ Meeting] Reminder for tonight's meeting,...
Hi All Don't forget tonight's meeting. All the normal things and more! See the web for more details as well as how to get there. http://www.wamug.org.au Oh and I've got a couple of things to show off if there's time and some prizes as well! So see you there!! Kind Regards Daniel -- Forwarded Message From: Matthew Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 17:38:14 +0800 To: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Subject: Meeting Reminder Well... do we have a meeting planned or DO WE First up will be Matt Healey, showing off a new game called XIII from Feral Interactive. It's a very cool game. We think you should buy it. Next up will be Mark Griffin from Fusion Films, talking about all the wonderful things he does with his Mac. He does things. He uses a Mac. They are wonderful. Guess whos back... back again. Matty's back... Tell a friend. This time, he will be showing of the upcoming package from Delicious Monster software. These are some of the same guys that started up OmniGroup. Their new package is called Library, and it is quite simply the coolest little app I have seen in a long time. You HAVE to see this thing demo'd 'cause it's just so darn cool. If we have time, Peter will be showing off a program called Expression. Microsoft bought it to integrate into their ever-being-put-back operating system Longhorn, so they were kind enough to release the Mac version for free. - Matt
The West Australian electronic edition
Well, I was pleased to discover that the electronic edition of the West Australian newspaper seems to mostly work fine on the Mac despite a warning that Your browser environment is not fully supported. http://enewspaper.thewest.com.au/daily/client.asp?skin=demo Just the sort of thing I thought I might like to view wirelessly on my Powerbook via our airport network at home. (somewhat off-topic vent follows!) :-) However I couldn't believe it when I discovered that it costs 3-4 times the price of the print version. ie. $4 to purchase a single electronic edition or $950 to subscribe for a year. (and that's without the West Magazine etc) Am I alone in thinking publishers should charge less not more than their printed versions for electronic versions of their publications considering the savings on printing and distribution? Even the New York Times charges almost half the price of the West at US$384 annually (or US$174 for students or educators) for a fully downloadable version (60MBs per paper, 7 issues a week) which I still think is a bit on the expensive side of things, but at least is a bit more reasonable. For comparison Time Magazine charges US$49 for a year's subscription to their electronic version compared to US$221.20 per year for their printed versions (56 editions). I emailed them and the subscriptions manager replied saying: Your comments regarding the price of the electronic edition of The West Australian are noted, but the aim of the electronic edition is not to replace the printed version of the paper. The aim is to provide a valid alternative for those who are beyond the reach of the distribution network in place for the printed newspaper. This includes subscribers in the eastern States and overseas, where a single edition can cost upwards of $20. In the local market the electronic edition will not appear attractive against the printed edition, but in these distant markets we hope that subscribers will see it as a very viable option. I hope that this helps to explain the pricing of the electronic edition. So they're going for a tiny market at premium prices rather than exploiting the mass market at more reasonable rates. *sigh* I guess I'll just go back to reading the multiplicity of free news sources out on the internet and forget about getting a bit more local news and features.

Re: iPod/iTalk voice recording
I'd try just recording through the iTalk's built in microphone to see if it's working properly first. If that works then try plugging the external mike into the iTalk and see if it still works. This won't fix the problem but it will isolate where the problem may be. Is it essential that the mike goes through an external amp first?
