This special will run only while stock lasts so if you want a low-cost external or backup drive - grab these while they are still about - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/firecube/firecube.html -------------------------- Scott is going to sell his G4 Dual Processor 867MHz 1.25GB RAM DVDRW SuperDrive included. This machine is under warranty until 4/9/05 - "The G4 comes with 160GB of HD storage. The main drive is an 80GB RAID (2x40GB ATA-5 Seagate Barracudas) running on the ATA-100 Bus. It also comes with the upgraded 64MB ATI Radeon 9000 Pro video card. It cost around $5000+ when I bought it because the video card and superdrive were optional extras. The G4 is in exceptional condition and still has the protective plastic coverings on the front to protect the chrome inserts. I have never had any problems with it. Please give me a call on 0418 946 387 if you would like to know more." - Scott Palmer If you need a top flight machine at reasonable cost, especially if you are into video/multimedia give Scott a shout. ---------------------------- It looks like only a matter of days before Apple releases their Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. We've previously tested the Microsoft keyboard and mouse but found both to be terribly frustrating - hopefully Apple will do a better job! Very often we'd need to reseat the battery in both the mouse or keyboard otherwise nothing worked - this is not what you want from either a keyboard or mouse. We are importing both Bluetooth keyboards and mouse on trial directly from Taiwan so if these are reliable and solid products, that we can price well below the Apple or Microsoft product, we will be releasing both of these in the near future .... stay tuned. Bluetooth modules are now capable of a range of 100m but these particular modules are still quite expensive so we are sticking with the 40m range modules for the present - just a reminder these are in stock at $69 - http://www.zytech.com.au/comm/usb/index.html Oh .... and yes we still have $29 MS optical wheel mice in stock - http://www.zytech.com.au/usb/mouse/index.html ------------------------------ There's been a lot of talk just recently on several of the lists with people having drive and speed issues on their various machines. If you are using a Mac ...... please, PLEASE go out and get a copy of DiskWarrior 3. You don't have to buy it from us, but please use grab a copy and run it regularly .... every week if you can. We wouldn't see 90% of the problems people post if you use this piece of software in combination with other good maintenance practices. On a regular basis run one of the several utilities that execute cron tasks in OS X. We use MacJanitor but there are a number about and you can just do a search on VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Next go to Apple Disk Utility and select the FirstAid tab and click on repair permissions. If you really want to get finicky you can also run software like System Optimiser which updates all the Unix prebindings, cleans out cache files and other tasks but this is only an optional extra - again go to VersionTracker, etc as there are several utilities that perform these tasks. Then after you have performed these 2 or 3 maintenance routines, reboot either from your DiskWarrior CD-ROM or another drive/volume with DiskWarrior 3 installed and run DiskWarrior over your boot volume. First of all you'll be amazed (and horrified) at how many minor (or even major) errors it will find on your drive and when you reboot you'll be amazed (and happy) at just how fast your System loads and continue to be happy when you don't need to post to your favourite group seeking help on remedying the terrible problems you have with your computer. DiskWarrior is truly a brilliant piece of software that will keep both you and your Mac happy. You can buy it from any Mac outlet or we can supply it by going to - http://www.zytech.com.au/firewire/drives/firecube/firecube.html Keith Palmer Zytech Marketing Pty Ltd 7 The Strand Bunbury 6230 Phone: 08-9791 5556 Fax: 08-9791 5900 http://www.zytech.com.au All pricing includes GST If you do not wish to receive this mail update please reply and place "UNSUBSCRIBE" as the subject title
