Re: Adieu

I also thought having people pay a fee to provide a solution may be a problem. An alternative way of doing this would be to allow people reply to topics in order to provide solutions but not create new topics. I don't think this would work in practice though because it would probably take too

Hi Guys, I've had help from the list in the past and thinking I might need more in the future I had been thinking for a while that I should join up and do my bit to help cover the costs. So, yes, as of yesterday I am a newly paid up member even though I doubt I shall ever get to a meeting. I'v

Have you considered a font manager such as Suitcase. I run this manager (Suitcase 4) and it works flawlessly. I think it's only $130 or something like that. I tested running Helv Neue Light overriding the system font and it works fine. I don't think it can be done with font book. Otherwise, I

I agree Tim. I also have only been to one WAMUG meeting, but I have been a financial member of WAMUG for years. The financial members of WAMUG have made it possible for WAMUG and the mailing list to continue. Without the financial members there would not be WAMUG or the mailing list! I also kno

It does sound like the shutters are going up. That's a pity. But as a 'lurker' of some 12 years or so I too should say farewell while the opportunity is still there. In particular, 'farewell' to people who, like Eugene have lived on the fringe of the WAMUG pool but contribute knowledgeably if i

Re: Offsite backup

Thanks Ronni, yes, I was confused. Originally I was thinking "Online Time Machine" but that is too expensive as far as I can see. Neil's suggestion of offsite with swapping a couple of drives seems the way to go. I have not only my own stuff but also critical material belonging to other people

Re: Offsite backup

Hi Severin, Are you meaning "Online Backup" or "Offsite Backup". By mentioning iCloud I presumed you meant "Online Backup"? If so, you need to check the security of each service and the price. Most are very expensive especially for the amount of Data you are thinking of storing. And remember to

Thanks, Neil. Even though I do not have an alternative site, well maybe I do?, I might nip in to OfficeWorks tomorrow, that is a price not to go past for an extra drive on the shelf, as if I needed any more. An offsite Time Machine would be ideal. I am sure you are snug and warm inside, it i

Hi Severin, If you have an alternative site to store it, you can also go with the rotating disk approach - disk 1 at home, disk 2 offsite - and rotate them on a weekly (or other) basis. Officeworks Albany are doing a really good deal on the 500GB WD MyPassport Studio (FW800 & USB2.0) - I bought o
