A new spam
I have recently begun to receive a different type of junk/spam mail. It is quite innocent looking and inoccuous with a single .pdf attachment and appears to come from single, named individuals unknown to me. They seem to bypass the usual spam filters. I have trashed them all instantly and not opened the attachments. Has anyone else been subject to this or have any comment to make?

I use Mail and set up some rules which despatch most of them into my Junk box. Have Junk show sender as well as addressee and a quick ;look at the headings is usually enough to bulk trash them . The odd one still gets through , even though one of the rules requires the sender to be in my address book. Still raining here !

Wamuggers, I have a beast on my desktop that will not go away. Its a window that states: Failed to connect to device -check the I/F cable connection between the device and your computer. please turn OFF the device once, and the turn ON the device again. Then try again. (MTW005) = The window has an icon of a camera looking, in design, much like those old jigsaw style extension icons in Classic. IT has an OK blue window which does not respond.The window does not disappear whether or not I send the machine to sleep, or shut it down. I re-appears whatever I do. How can I destroy this beast? I have tried hooking up the only two devices I plug in - a camera (using I/F) and a hard drive with no effect.

Re: iPod Nano
Thanks Peder. There are 'refurbished' units for sale from the Australian Apple Store, at about 18% discount. These seem to be about the best in terms of price. Anyone with good/bad experienced with refurbished units from Apple Store? Glenn. On 24/07/2007, at 5:37 PM, Peder Kristensen wrote: Hi Glenn, Apple stopped education price on iPods' last year.

Hi Bill, Look in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and see if Image Capture is listed. If so, Delete or Hide it.

Re: A new spam
Do not bounce these or any SPAM email. The sender is usually either a bogus account name/domain in which case you are only causing load on your ISP's server, or in the case of viruses the sender is a harvested email address out of someone else's address book, therefore bouncing it is returning it to the wrong person. Dropping email is the best you can (and should) do.

Re: Experienced network troubleshooter
Hi everyone. I am based at Jandakot Helicopters part time now, and we have encountered a problem with the Mac/Windows interface. It is predominantly a Windows environment, with two desktop Macs, plus two Mac laptops. The Macs can only see some of the networks printers, nor can they see the network server. We need someone who is an experienced Mac/PC troubleshooter to come out to have a look and see what they can do for us. There is also a problem with the Windows machines not accessing their network printers properly and defaulting to presets. So if anyone could do this, we would appreciate it. Please contact me off-line. Thanks Jon 'R' Celebrating the Robinson Helicopter A new coffee-table book from Eye in the Sky Productions. Photographed by leading aviation photographer Jon Davison.
