Re: MacResolve Spam
Oh Michael, Why is it, that I am not believing what you are saying here? You are part of MacResolve, you registered the domain macresolve.com.au, you are the Mike of the Super Duo Tony Mike (are you not)? But, you say you are unaware of a huge bulk email that has been sent from your Tony Mike macresolveaustra...@me.com email address. You also say you were unaware that this bulk email constitutes Unsolicited Commercial eMail. Also that you did not realise the bulk emailing of this unsolicited email would be considered spam/junk email?? Come on Michael, you have been involved in Business long enough to know that what your MacResolve has done, is Unethical, a Violation of Proper Business Practices, and morally wrong. You have achieved some publicity, but I don't feel that the saying Any Publicity is Good Publicity will apply in your case. This is not the way to launch a new business. The Mac Community does not appreciate Spam or Spammers, and which ever way you look at this it is SPAM!

Re: Excellent Bento website
Many thanks for this Peter. I have Bento and must admit to feeling that I am missing something when it comes to using it, this site will help!

DSE - Discount Weekend
Hey all A quick headsup, the DickSmith in Rockingham was advertising 10% off everything (Might have had disclaimer regarding some items, didn't wait and read it) including Apple gear! Not sure if this is applicable for all stores and it is only for this weekend! If you were looking at/for something could be your opportunity! Take note though that this week I had various issues. Dick Smith won't price match the RRP if it has been adjusted recently. EG: MiniDVI-VGA Adapters. They've come down $10 in the last two weeks so they are nearly a respectable price but Dick Smith wouldn't reflect the change. Have a good long-weekend everyone!

DSE - Discount Weekend
Hi David and all, Many thanks for the information, worth knowing about. On the other hand I was in the city this evening and walked into a computer shop, from the 'dark' side looking for a memory card for my camera and saw a Logitech USB headset with a price tag of $79, and only 2 months ago bought the very same headset (phone microphone) in Sydney for $38.00! I mentioned this to the shop assistant who said it was quite normal, seeing prices have gone up!!! I thought retail was doing it very tough. I guess that they think the $900.00, which the government has borrowed on my behalf and without my permission and on-lent to me, will be spent filling their own greedy pockets.
