This makes for an interesting read:

http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/microsoft-learn-from-apple-III.ars/1

I'm not a technical person the way developers are, but it's clear to  
me that a company that develops and actually uses its own software  
before releasing it to developers, coupled with a plan for the future  
to actually progress forward and not stay mired in the past is a  
company you can be proud of, IMHO at least :)

Oh Wonder of Wonders:

Some COMCAST types just visited & said there's an outside chance I/we 
might be able to get broad band access via cable.

Oh, Wonder of Wonders!!!

So, preplanning - our need is to have internet access for 2 Mac 
desktops, 1 iBook, 1 Toshiba laptop, and 1 PC clone.. (I know, yecchh, 
but you do what you gotta do.) 

The Toshiba, iBook, and PC clone have both wireless  & ethernet 
capabilities.  The 2 Mac desktops have only ethernet.

Is there a modem that is also hardwired router and a wireless router?  
Or do I need to have both a modem and a wireless router?  My Google 
searches gave less than satisfactory results.

Thanks, y'all.

Go Penz!!!  Again!!!

Dear Mac friends:

We'll be gathered again tomorrow for our weekly work day at  
Goodwill's Computer Recycling Center in their building at East Carson  
and South 26th Sts. Entrance to the building is on 26th St.; go past  
the reception desk and make the first left. We're on the back right  
of the big room at the end of the corridor.

Last week we completed re-installing our server and network  
infrastructure to allow us to resume NetBooting on FireWire Macs. We  
now have 16 spaces wired for NetBooting.

We already have quite a haul of donated Macs waiting for us, and  
we're expecting 400 more from a school district in the next two weeks.

Looks like it will be a busy summer!

Hope to see you there.

Message-ID: <C46E1B8D.198F5%paul.furiga@wordwritepr.com>

Dear fellow Mac enthusiasts,

After much anticipation (and what I thought was an appropriate ?waiting
period? for bugs to be worked out), I purchased Leopard over the past
weekend and installed it at home and office.

On my home network, I am having a shared printing problem and I am just
flummoxed. The answers on the Apple support site and in the discussion
forums aren?t satisfactory. Several indicate there is a shared printer
problem using Airport-connected printers, and others talk exhaustively about
the inability to use printers connected to other machines via USB on the
network (my problem).

I am going to call the 800 number on Friday, but before I did, I thought I
would ask the wise minds of this group for advice.

Here is the problem:
1. I am using the iBook G3 dual white 600 Mhz laptop that we used to start
our business as a print server for our home network (it?s a happy
semi-retirement and I get sentimental every time I see it). The iBook G3 is
running 10.4.11 and worked well in its printer server role until the
upgrade, with an Epson C88 inkjet and HP 7110 All-in-One cabled to it via
USB. Proper drivers installed, no problems, etc.
2. All other computers on the network are either MacBook (Intel) or iBook
G4. All currently running Leopard, 10.5.3 and in all other respects, working
great. 
3. The printers on the network are shared for the Leopard machines and keep
disappearing from the Leopard machines when trying to print. They can
sometimes be found and ?added? again, but often cannot be
found/added/reloaded as shared printers following the Apple procedures on
the web site support pages.
4. I installed a new wireless modem/router from Consolidated Communications
yesterday; it is wireless as well as a wired router ? didn?t affect any
other network functions and was having printer problem before this so I
think it?s probably not related but I mention it just in case . . .
5. Has anyone else had this weird problem? Any suggestions?

In Console, I see this in the system log every time I try to print (see my
bold):
Jun  5 21:36:12 MacBook [0x0-0x21021].com.microsoft.Entourage[258]: snmpInk:
getHostForPrinter() could not get the host from the device URI.

Any insight kindly appreciated.

http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1811814-1,00.html     
by By JOSH QUITTNER / SAN FRANCISCO

A look at how open platforms that invite innovation by outside  
developers  will be the real winners .... and all three companies have  
great strengths ....


---- clips from pages 3 - 4  -----

Why the iPhone Matters
Apple's calculus is much simpler: it doesn't matter who prevails online 
?Facebook, Google, both or someone else. Steve Jobs simply wants to  
ensure that you use his devices to get there.
To that end, the new iPhone, which is expected to be announced on June  
9, is "hugely significant," says Andreessen, who now presides over a  
company, Ning, that allows anyone to build his or her own social  
network. "The iPhone, a lot of people around here believe?and I think  
this is true?is the first real, fully formed computer that you can put  
in your hand," he says. "It has all the requirements it needs to be a  
viable platform."
Matt Murphy?a venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers  
who oversees the $100 million iFund to seed start-ups that build great  
iPhone apps?goes even further. He claims that the iPhone will  
"absolutely be the driver of the post-PC world." Murphy points out  
that the kit needed by developers to build iPhone apps has been  
downloaded more than 200,000 times, and he estimates that about 1,000  
applications will be available to consumers when the iPhone-apps store  
launches with the phone. "If you look at so many of the constraints  
that have held back the mobile ecosystem, Apple basically takes all of  
those away and provides an open platform, a great device and a user  
base that's rabid for these new kinds of applications," he says.
Jobs' great skill has always been integrating cutting-edge technology  
and making it accessible. Flat-panel monitors, moviemaking software,  
wi-fi, digital-music players, touch-sensitive screens?these have all  
been out there over the past decade or so in ragged and unpolished  
ways. His genius was finding and repackaging them, making the  
technology work to delight the masses. Similarly, Apple's iPhone 2.0  
will popularize "geo-location"?think of the satellite-based navigation

I have no first hand experience, however I have an opinion.

I read many articles about it.  I was quite interested in the  
concept.  I liked the ability to get wireless anywhere without a  
contract.  I have read that the screen is excellent and easy on the  
eyes.  I liked the concept of carrying a hundred pounds of books in  
one light weight package.  (When I travel I always take too many books  
and then don't read most of them and go overweight in my luggage).

I costed out the available books on Amazon and felt that I didn't get  
enough of a discount to have to hassle with the intellectual property  
controls.  You can't make a backup copy.  If you change hardware, you  
lose the book you bought.  I like the convenience of carrying a book  
around and reading whenever I get a spare moment.  It costs a bunch of  
money, just to make you a captive customer of Amazon.  (Of course, I  
buy most of my books there anyway).

Also, I have an XO laptop and I have read that they make excellent  
eBook readers.  If I decide to try eBooks, I will probably start with  
my XO.

I have no firsthand experience with it, either, but have heard very  
few negatives.  Andy Ihnatko makes a few good points that a lot of  
other folks haven't mentioned in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaY91FqM40E

My budget is earmarked for the new iPhone, so this one's on the back  
burner for now.

Speaking of iPhones, anyone interested in a 1st gen 4GB iPhone?

Wow .... you have to see this 2008 WWDC presentation on how the iPhone  
2.0  is truly changing the world as a completely wide open platform  
for developers.

The presentation by Steve Jobs 40%  and developers 60&   runs about 1  
hour and 45 minutes .... but is absolutely great and not boring at  
all ....

============

I'm totally floored and trying to absorb everything I just saw ... so  
let me summarize :


iPhone 2.0 with enterprise support and slews of developers  http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/

MobileMe as the replacement for DotMac with "push apps" in the  
clouds   http://www.apple.com/mobileme/

iPhone 3G starting at $199 for 8GB coming on July 11th     http://www.apple.com/iphone/

Some very cool apps for your Mac and your iPhone.

I am still highly recommending you see the 2008 WWDC Keynote by Steve  
Jobs and many others.    http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html

2008  is a pivotal year for Apple as they:

1. reach out to small business and enterprise customers

2. make the iPhone worldwide and lower the price

3. move DotMac to a fully cross-platform web based MobileMe  
productivity suite that is "Exchange for the rest of us ..."

4. and most notably attract record numbers of developers, developers,  
developers ....



to put this in perspective, I refer you back to one sweaty CEO from a  
larger company back in  2006    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE

Subject: [NPMUG] How to Block Cellphone Spam
Message-ID: <165606.6230.qm@web35506.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

In today's NYTimes, David Pogue had some important advice for those whose cell phone accounts include "data."  See the article below.

John Bauerlein


How to Block Cellphone Spam
By DAVID POGUE

If I told you that today's e-column would change your life, would you mind that it's sort of short?
The story goes like this. A few weeks ago, in my blog (nytimes.com/pogue), I wrote this:
"OK, now I'm really, REALLY annoyed. Within a week, my wife and I have both started getting spam text messages on our Verizon cellphones. I know that this is nothing new, but it's new for us, and it's apparently getting worse.
"According to Wikipedia, this sleazy practice is described as 'mobile spamming, SMS spam or SpaSMS, but is most frequently referred to as m-spam.'
"It's actually far worse than regular e-mail spam, for three reasons. First, you generally can't delete it without opening it first.
"Second, you have to pay for it. (And, of course, the senders pay nothing, since they can send text messages from a computer's e-mail program for nothing.)
"Third, there's no way to stop it. You can't install an anti-SMS spam program on your cellphone.
"If you're not feeling helpless and livid already, if you're not already storming your carrier and Congress, I can think of only one reason: you haven't been m-spammed yet. But your time will come."
Shortly thereafter, I heard from an AT&T representative who revealed the presence of an astonishing little-known cellular feature: you can block cellular spam.
"Our customers can get onto our Web site," he wrote, "and set their handset so that it receives no messages from the Internet, the origin of the vast majority of wireless spam."
He also said:
"Text messages sent from the Internet are addressed as follows: [Your 10-digit wireless number]@txt.att.net.
"What spammers try to do, of course, is attempt to guess your number, largely by trial and error. This brings me to the second capability we offer our customers. Let's say you want to block spam, but still want to receive messages originating from the Net that you would actually find useful (airline schedules, hotel reservations, etc.). For this purpose, we let you replace your wireless number with an alias. It could be some quirky name, or whatever you like. [You share this address only with people you know.] This could disrupt the guessing game spammers play to try to discern your number and sent you their junk.
"Though not perfect, our efforts have helped keep spam in the category of minor, though annoying, phenomenon. Thanks for listening."
The beauty of this feature, of course, is that it blocks ONLY text messages from the Internet. Your friends, using cellphones, can still text you.
As it turns out, Verizon Wireless offers these features, too. Sprint and T-Mobile don't go quite as far, but they do offer some text-spam filtering options. Here's how you find the controls for each company:
* AT&T: Log in at mymessages.wireless.att.com. Under Preferences, you'll see the text-blocking and alias options. Here's also where you can block messages from specific e-mail addresses or Web sites.
* Verizon Wireless: Log in at vtext.com. Under Text Messaging, click Preferences. Click Text Blocking. You're offered choices to block text messages from e-mail or from the Web. Here again, you can block specific addresses or Web sites. (Here's where you set up your aliases, too.)
* Sprint: No auto-blocking is available at all, but you can block specific phone numbers and addresses. To get started, log in at www.sprint.com. On the top navigation bar, click My Online Tools. Under Communication Tools, click Text Messaging. On the Compose a Text Message page, under Text Messaging Options, click Settings & Preferences. In the text box, you can enter a phone number, email address or domain (such as Comcast.net) that you want to block.
* T-Mobile: T-Mobile doesn't yet offer a "block text messages from the Internet" option. You can block all messages sent by e-mail, though, or permit only messages sent to your phone's e-mail address or alias, or create filters that block text messages containing certain phrases. It's all waiting when you log into www.t-mobile.com and click Communication Tools.
As soon as I heard about all this, I went to the Verizon Wireless page for my own account and turned on the "block" options.
And you know what? We haven't had a single piece of cellphone spam since.
You're welcome.

[Forgot to include the list on this reply]

Hope this isn't too late. I've been having fun at WWDC and not been
checking email.  :-)

I have a Kindle. And I love/hate it.  As far as reading on it goes:
its very nice. The screen is extremely easy to read for long periods
of time. There's no flicker of any kind like on a monitor, and you're
not staring at a lit screen, so there's no more eyestrain than reading
a book.  But like a book, you'll need external light to read by. And
the integration with the Amazon bookstore over the built-in cellular
system is fantastic.  I bought and downloaded a book in seconds while
sitting at the airport waiting to go to WWDC.

The physical design of this device is awful, however. Its a big clunky
piece of plastic.  I've always been a substance-over-style engineering
type, but the physical design of this thing is so bad its offensive
even to me.

That said, its still great to carry around a ton of books in a package
the size of one book. I'm hoping there will be a version two that will
be physically better, but the reading experience is fine.  There's no
mention from Amazon on when or if a 2nd version will be coming out,
but it doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon.

I've also tried the Sony Reader device, the PRS-505. Its much nicer
physically.  Its smaller and has the same good screen. However the
cellular connection to the Amazon bookstore makes the Kindle my choice
over physically nicer Sony unit.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [NPMUG] Wireless Neworks
Message-ID: <49A0C351-8B3A-4A5D-BEF9-5998011E5027@mac.com>

The good news:
I purchased my second Mac in six months last weekend, so now the score  
here at my home is OSX-2, WinXP-2.  That's two 20 inch 2.4 Ghz each  
with 3GB.

The bad news:
I moved the original Mac from the basement, where it was wired to my  
Linksys WRT54GS wireless router, to the dining room upstairs.   
Configuring the Airport connection was not a problem.  However, I do  
not broadcast my wireless network name and have WEP security enabled.   
The wireless Mac does not seem to be able to remember the connection.   
I have added the WEP password to the keychain, but invariably each  
time I have to go back to enter the network name and password, the  
keychain box is no longer checked.

Any ideas?

Signed,
Wandering in the Wireless World

Thanks in advance everyone,
Bob McCullough

Yep, one of my kids, post surgery, dumped a drink on a 12 inch 2005 
G4 dual USB iBook.  The keyboard is shot; corroded silver ribbons 
between the plastic layers, not cleanable.

Anyone parting out a machine or know a good source for a new/used keyboard?

I also need a print head for a Canon i850 printer if anyone knows 
where to get one-

Thanks!

  I'm not  sure if you've been warned of this from any other

Adobe since first being mentioned as far back as  May 24, 2008  .....  
and the professional lists I subscribe to still have a high level of  
people frustrated .... so therefore I thought it was mentioning  
here .....

for now .....  stay with 10.5.2, don't update to 10.5.3 ...... if you  
use CS3 and share files to a server ....

Message-ID: <5284C338-EFDD-40BD-A458-28FB8BB4B3B9@mac.com>

Dear Mac friends:

We will gather at the Goodwill Computer Recycling Center on Friday,  
June 20, for our regular weekly work day. There's usually someone in  
our area from 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.

Goodwill is at 2600 East Carson St. on Pittsburgh's South Side.  
Entrance to the building is on the South 26th St. side. Go past the  
receptionist and turn left at the first hallway. We're on the far  
right side of the big room where Goodwill clients are busy sending  
Windows PCs to Computer Heaven.

We've received many keyboards and mice along with the donation of  
nearly 400 Macs from the Keystone Oaks School District, and we're  
again in a position to set up a keyboard and mouse cleaning and  
testing bench. If you don't feel you want to dig about the innards of  
a Mac, or wipe and image its hard drive, we now have a job for you  
again.

Hope to see you there!

My sister in law is having publish problems with iWeb 06 running on an iBook
with 10.3.9, described below.  First is my recommendations which still
caused problems which is in the response at the bottom.

Anyone had similar experience?

Janet, If you continue to get error messages this is the way to repair the
problem.

At the bottom of this page is a screen shot from my laptop, showing the path
to the web pages stored on the iDisk.

You're web page is stored similarly on your iDisk. To fix the problem,
delete the folder containing your page from your iDisk and then empty the
trash. Next, go back to the iWeb program and publish. This should create a
whole new folder from the information in your iWeb program. I think the
problem comes from trying to update something that is corrupted inside the
current folder. I remember having to do this way back when I started using
the program.

This screen shot looks different than yours because I am using the newer
system software 10.5 and your laptop is 10.3.9.

Good luck! Bruce

Bruce, The picture of the finder path was very helpful. Thanks. I did as you
said. Actually my trash emptied itself. Then I published again and the red
lights (to be published) all turned blue. Very exciting. Only, there came
back an error saying that the picture I put in with Sarah's post card didn't
go through, why didn't I try going under file and using "publish all." So it
did, only mine said to "publish all to. Mac" The program worked away and the
home sign turned red but I thought that was because I accidently moved the
photo on the home page. 
Then, all the red (not published) icons, that I had
had when this publishing adventure began 9 days ago, returned with the
message:

"/web/sites/: Web/WellsWood? spring
2008/E6C9C158-38B1-11DD-80FD-000A95BC2ADE-files/DSC01252. jpg"

The jpg is a picture of crab apple blossoms. I don't know what the rest
means. Should I delete the file in the finder box again? Change the
pictures? Never use "publish all to. Mac"? Still puzzled, Janet

Message-ID: <299715FE-41E1-4670-96A9-C70B2094BDA1@mac.com>

Dear Mac friends:

Many thanks to Charlie Hutchens, Rich Fitzgibbon, John Hamill, Tucker  
Trainor, Dave Sevick and John Bauerline for joining me today at the  
Goodwill Computer Recycling Center on the South Side.

We're definitely settled into our new, smaller but AIR CONDITIONED  
digs at our new location on Pittsburgh's South Side. Since we re- 
installed our Apple Xserve two weeks ago, we're really hitting our  
stride cranking out our rehabilitated Macs. Did I mention it's air  
conditioned?

Today, we finished 17 Macintoshes for the Goodwill ComputerWorks  
store, located just 30 yards from our workspace. We're delighted to  
find our smaller workspace has not effected our output.

Our all-time total of refurbished Macs now stands at 1,236.

It's a great time to be looking for a quality, refurbished Mac at  
Goodwill. RIGHT NOW at ComputerWorks (2600 East Carson St.) there are  
just over 20 G4 OS X eMacs, over 30 OS X slot-load CD iMacs, 15 OS 9  
tray-load iMacs, 13 G4 OS X Graphite Towers, 2 OS 9 G3 Towers, 1 OS 9  
WallStreet PowerBook with added wireless, and one pristine G4 Cube  
with a 15-inch LCD Studio Display. You can see our finished machines  
lined up in the window along East Carson St.

We've recently received a large donation of eMacs and iMacs in  
excellent condition from the Keystone Oaks School District, along  
with many keyboards and mice. Our critical shortage of USB keyboards  
and mice is now temporarily over.

Now that Goodwill's big move from the old CRC to the South Side is  
now complete, the number-crunchers are beginning to count up just  
what we've been doing for them since we first joined them at the end  
of March 2007. We hope to be able to share some numbers with you in  
the coming weeks.

We will gather again for our normal Friday workday on June 27. We'll  
be taking a two-week break, pausing for the July 4 holiday, and again  
on July 11. We plan to resume operations on Friday, July 18.

There's no coincidence with us taking off on July 11 and Apple  
releasing the new iPhone for sale on the same day. Honest. I know for  
a fact that I have a dentist appointment that day.....

Message-ID: <16705696-2FE0-4C6C-92D2-81B17765229E@peterdavidcommunications.com>

Question -

Was copying an address from a File Maker Pro document and pasting  
info on Address Book card - Something I do frequently.
My Address Book went blank - no cards left, no info.
Had not intentionally backed up Address Book.   Looked for systematic  
back up file and found file shown in 3rd screen capture. Tried to use  
that file to revert to previous data, but Address Book would not allow.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
P.D.D.

Message-ID: <3B857449-C852-4C9E-9E1F-D79C7CDFA03F@mac.com>

Dear Mac friends:

With the welcome arrival of more G4 Macs that we have seen before, we  
find ourselves in need of 2.5-inch external Firewire hard drives to  
help us diagnose G4s that won't boot with our OS 9 diagnostic CD.

We current have one FireLite Firewire drive with a startup volume  
with which we can boot the G4 eMacs we are now seeing. We need more.

If you have a small capacity (10-20 gb) external Firewire drive  
you're no longer using, please let us know.

Many thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <B892AE22-96B4-45D6-81E4-B26075326C42@davesevick.com>

It is with great pleasure I can report to you that we have met and  
exceeded our short term goals in our strategic relationship with  
Goodwill of Southwestern PA.

On behalf of all the user group volunteers from all over Pittsburgh  
and used computer donors I  have some official numbers to report.

In March 2007 we moved our operations from Ambridge, PA to the  
Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh at the Computer Recycling Center.

           See our recycling history HERE.

Today we see our volunteers working diligently each week at the South  
Side of Pittsburgh location of Goodwill of Southwestern PA.

We have five great work benches built by Hosanna Industries.  http://www.hosannaindustries.org/

We have a CAT6 network capable of handling Apple NetBoot on a Tiger  
XServe running Tiger OSXServer. http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/client.html

We have been able to serve folks all over PA, WV, OH  .... well as the  
Gulf states of LA, TX, MS .... and now Kuala Lampur, Malaysia ....


================

The refurbishing of Apple computers from March 1, 2007  through April  
20, 2008 ( 16 months at Goodwill ) has generated:

  $29,333.85

Most of these sales were for computers costing only $25 - $100 each.


================

Our total recycling number since 2001 is 1,236 computers.

We are in possession of more than 900 more computers today that need :

1.  Refurbished for reuse in the community
2.  De-manufactured down to component parts of glass, metal and  
plastic for proper eWaste disposal.


Many thanks to our leader in recycling, Bob Donaldson and his team of  
volunteers.  And a special thanks to Goodwill of Southwestern PA for  
this great strategic partnership.

Message-ID: <77C5AA81-CB29-4AD7-8826-037899E40441@mac.com>

Dear Mac friends:

We will gather for our regular weekly workday at Goodwill's Computer  
Recycling Center at 2600 East Carson St. Feel free to arrive anytime  
after 8:30 a.m. Enter on the South 26th St. side of the building, go  
past the reception desk and turn left at the first hallway. We'll be  
on the far right side of the big room at the end of the hall.

We will be doing some special training on Friday. We'll be showing  
our colleagues Don and Steve from Goodwill how to diagnose and  
refurbish eMacs and iMacs. This is special as they will soon have a  
new assignment to spend part of their days at the CRC doing what we  
do once a week: Get Macs ready for Goodwill to sell.

Now that we have more donations of excellent-quality Macs than we  
have ever seen, the time has come for Goodwill staff to get their  
feet wet refurbishing Macs. We literally have several hundred Macs  
waiting for overhaul.

We'll also be hosting some visitors who have heard of our efforts and  
want to see if our Macs can be used in their organizations.

Hope to see you there!

My cell phone is below if you need to reach me.

Hello, Dave et al.

The "cell phone popcorn" thing is a hoax, according to this Snopes.com
(urban legends) article.  At the of the article, it is noted that
these videos come from a maker of bluetooth headsets. A shameless act
of fear-mongering and self-promotion! :)  When it comes to urban
legends, Snopes.com is your friend!

Subject: [NPMUG] After 12 responses,
	I can say the popcorn cell phone thing is a hoax .... but there is
	a bigger story here .... the audit ....
Message-ID: <14CC3F13-9FE7-435E-8378-7E098F7DEAA1@davesevick.com>

Many thanks for the 12 responses I have gotten back from you all since  
I posted this request for help at 10:23PM last night.

Many references to   http://www.snopes.com/science/cookegg.asp  and  
other sites, from you all are much appreciated  ....

=========

There is a bigger story here.  This was an audit.

In case you were wondering why I just could not Google this  
myself .... well, I could.

I was actually running a test .... and you all responded  
wonderfully.   Not one person said anything sarcastic to me like "try  
Google you dummy ..."  or "you should know better" or anything that  
would "talk down" to me ....   That was very refreshing and rewarding  
for me to see.   The worst experience is to post a question to this  
public forum only to have someone YELL AT YOU privately or  
publicly ... when all you seek is help.   At any given time the world  
is always 95% smarter than me ... I don't need to be reminded of that  
with a rude remark from our list.  OK ... I hope you see my point  
here.  I'm being proactive and want to show you how good you all can  
be ... and were last night and this morning.

Reason:
Another Apple computer colleague in Canada was talking to me about  
doing the same thing with a listserve for his Apple community at  
MacWorld SanFran in January ..... considering using MailMan software  
for a  listserve for all Apple folks .....

I told him about some of the negative and positive things about  
hosting a listserve.   The biggest negatives are "flame wars" where  
people get off-topic and begin to argue publicly. That can spin out of  
control.  The consequences are so harmful that it would necessitate me  
closing down the listserve ... which I can do with the click of a  
button online.   We all went through that experience last year.

However, I am very pleased to report:

1. The first person to write back to help me did so within 12 minutes  
of my 10:23PM post and provided me  the snopes.com address and other  
links.

2. All posts were directly to me privately with helpful comments and  
links, and not one person overrode the "reply to user only" format and  
replied to the whole list instead.

*** Except for Marty who just now posted to everyone ....  it is a  
hoax ....   :-)

Thanks everyone for behaving and being so helpful ... I will be using  
this audit as an example for any new list member to reassure them.....

Subject: [NPMUG] Final words on the "popcorn audit" ... some suggestions
	from list members
Message-ID: <C70BBCC3-54AA-4C20-8CBF-B22970E8B6FA@davesevick.com>

1.  One member pointed out email programs like "Google Mail" may not  
immediately allow "reply to sender only"  and just automatically  
"reply to all" when a reader attempts to post a response to the list.   
Good to know.

2.  Replying to the entire list is OK at times when you have something  
to tell everyone ... for instance, Marty's mention that the cell phone  
popcorn thing "was a hoax"  was indeed helpful and appropriate to post  
to all.

3.  I was asked to remind people to post the final answers to a  
question more often.  So if people have helped you .... please  
summarize your situation so the list can benefit.  I think most people  
are helped and tend to move on and forget to tell us all "what  
worked".  So, if you can, please share your successes and give credit  
to those who have helped you.

4.  One reader noted that if the post might have come from someone  
other the list owner .... perhaps the responses might not have been so  
kind .... I think in general our members are very helpful and I  
expected this type of positive feedback toward anyone ... good point  
though.

5. Nobody was seriously miffed that I ran this audit ... I'm glad.

6.  I plan to use the "popcorn story" often as a positive example of  
our list membership  ... attentive, positive, helpful, friendly  
people .... here to support each other.

Message-ID: <750E480A-DC15-4DAD-A36A-E66F4E0609BC@davesevick.com>

Hydroxy booster demonstration held at Fresh Cup N. Warren

John Stoneman believes in water power, and he set out to prove his  
point. The rainy weather barely kept from crashing the party.

The Allegheny Region Macintosh User Group held a meeting at Fresh Cup  
in the North Warren Commons on Wednesday evening, and despite the  
threat of rain, guitar maker John Stoneman of Bradford was able to  
demonstrate his "hydroxy booster" in the parking lot. Stoneman showed  
the various components that allow him to use an electric charge to  
split water into combustible hydrogen and oxygen gasses. Stoneman  
created and ignited a sample of the gases using the current from a car  
battery. Using a jar of water to catch the bubbles, Stoneman was able  
to cause small, controlled explosions using a lighter. He claims to  
double the fuel mileage in his car by attaching "Smack's booster"  
design to the engine. Stoneman maintains a web-site concerning hydroxy  
technology:

www.hydrogenoxygengas.com

Those in attendance at ARMUG were also treated to a first-hand  
demonstration of Apple's iPhone, plus an update of the latest computer  
news from Apple. At the recent Woldwide Developer's Conference in  
California, Apple unveiled a new 3G iPhone and details on its new  
MobileMe service and the pending MacOS 10.6 computer operating system.

The Allegheny Region Macintosh Users Group meets monthly, alternating  
between Fresh Cup internet cafe in North Warren on even-numbered  
months, and the Labyrinth Press Co. in Jamestown on odd-numbered  
months, typically on the fourth or last Wednesday of the month. The  
next meeting is scheduled for Jamestown on July 30.

Questions on ARMUG can be directed to group moderator Walt Atwood at  
(814) 726 - 2774.

... and pretty soon you're talking about a lot of iPhones.

Apple may sell more phones this year than predicted, according to  
market analysts.

Message-ID: <1FD5F9D8-5E32-482C-B78C-2BF07A6B447E@mac.com>

Dear Mac friends:

Many thanks to Charlie Hutchens, Rich Ftizgibbon, John Hamill, Tucker  
Trainor, George Price, and newcomers Tony Auretto of Tastar Data  
Systems, and his friend Wayne, for joining me today at the Goodwill  
Computer Recycling Center.

Had we realized we were on the verge of a record, we may have not  
taken a lunch break.

Today we rehabilitated 23 Macs, just six shy of our all time daily  
record of 29. 19 were eMacs and four were iMacs.

This brings our all-time total to 1,259.

The Goodwill ComputerWorks store is well stocked, and there's another  
warehouse sale in the works. I'll send out a notice when I hear of  
the details.

For the first time, there are rehabilitated Macs available that are  
capable of running OS X.5 Leopard. The 1.0 and 1.2 ghz eMacs we've  
done in the past two weeks can run the current Mac OS after you add  
to the 256 mb RAM in them now.

We'll be taking a two-week break for the July 4 holiday and the July  
11 iPhone holiday :-)

We'll resume our weekly work sessions on Friday, July 18.

Subject: [NPMUG] Class action settlement for Apple laptop power adapters
Message-ID: <C930BC3E-B1B3-4B84-9D0A-01CC02760C68@pitt.edu>

Hi,

I saw a legal notice in the July 2008 issue of MacWorld for a class  
action lawsuit that has now been settled, regarding power adapters  
for certain iBook and PowerBook computers.  If I understand it  
correctly, Apple has not admitted any liability, but has agreed to  
provide compensation to people who bought replacement power adapters  
when their original adapter failed.  It covers only specific Mac  
models, and the cash payment is only for replacements that were  
bought within three years of the purchase of the computer.  The claim  
form must be submitted before October 8, 2008.

You can get more details at:

The "Smack" apparatus described on  <www.hydrogenoxygengas.com> appears 
to have the trappings of a perpetual motion machine of the first class, 
namely one that violates the first law of thermodynamics. It takes more 
energy to break the molecular bonds of water and separate the 
constituent elements into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas than is recovered 
by recombining those elements by burning them and converting them back 
to water. Perhaps this is another test from Dave.

Hello,
	This week I received a postcard with this settlement notice.  Because  
I did not have a problem with the Power Adapter I knew I would not  
file a claim.
	Thanks Peter for letting everyone know.

Well...
I just got back from watching the new Pixar movie, and man is it  
awesome.

I won't give anything away, but had to share this:

Those of you who are long-time Mac Fanatics will recognize the voice  
behind the movie's one character Otto (the Auto-Pilot) and it's quite  
a trip down memory lane. :)

Also, everyone here is going to clearly recognize the sound Wall*E  
makes when he finishes charging his batteries.

These are the two big "Apple references" in the movie, but I spotted  
many many more.

Go see it :)

Charles

------ Notes from Apple  -----


Summary
The Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update is recommended for Mac OS X 10.5, 10.5.1,  
10.5.2, and 10.5.3 Leopard. It includes general operating system  
improvements that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security  
of your Mac.

For information about security updates, please see this article.

Products Affected
Mac OS X 10.5.1, Mac OS X 10.5.2, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.5.3
Important: Read below before installing.


It is recommended that you back up your system prior to installing any  
updates.
The installation process should not be interrupted, even if the  
progress bar remains unchanged for several minutes. If a power outage  
or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone  
installer (see below) from Apple Support Downloads to update.
You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system  
software modi?cations installed, or if you've modi?ed the operating  
system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application  
software installation.)
If issues occur during installation--for example, if Software Update  
quits unexpectedly--please see thisarticle.
Installing the update
To update to Mac OS X 10.5.4, use Software Update or the standalone  
installer. You only need to use one of these methods to update your  
computer.

Software Update

Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for  
the latest Apple software using the Internet, including this update.  
(Software Update might have linked you to this article to learn more  
about the update.) If your computer is not up-to-date, other software  
updates available for your computer may appear which you should  
install. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer  
when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be  
installed prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than  
once to make sure you have all available updates.

Standalone installer

Download the update installer and run it manually. This is a useful  
option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to  
download the update once. These versions of the standalone installers  
are available from Apple Support Downloads.

The Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update is recommended for all versions of Mac OS X  
10.5 through 10.5.3.

The delta update lets you update from Mac OS X 10.5.3 to 10.5.4
The combo update lets you update from Mac OS X 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2,  
or 10.5.3 to 10.5.4
