    Oh yes sorry it looks like I do still have the cookie for 'MacMuppet', but I am now 'FlashMac' - there were some login problems I think, the problem being my memory . :o

    Serious Problem with Brand New iPod!

    Well, I'm sure you'll all be relieved to know it seems OK. Phew! It was a long, boring trip back and I checked it as soon as I came in - it took a while to come on when I hooked it up but then the battery was flat. It kick-started iTunes ok and the iPod Update seemed to take a half-minute...

    London Store opening

    BBC News report: BBC News Technology section report .....doesnt look like anybody got an iPod in their lucky bag - I'm not surprised as due the way we're stiffed on the price of pretty much everything here it was probably too expensive to do. From what the guy says he got in his bag, I...

    iPod Color - Yay or Nay

    Well I'm all for it. It looks gorgeous - any idea how long the U2 one is likely to be available? Will it last until chrismas? I would very much like a photo-ipod but I can only stretch to the 20Gb...

    Just a little background speculation from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3945709.stm Disclaimer: This guy has been known to be pretty obtuse for a technology correspondent....

    *Bump* Just found this pre-configured applescript to upload your current Mail into GMail - I was naturally looking for support for Mail or Entourage POP3 (no such luck) but thought someone might make use of this... http://www.saltedwound.com/archives/002419.php

    Update apple software

    While we're on the subject; can anyone tell me how to uncheck updates to install? Like some kind of pathetic optimist, I cheerfully selected 'Airport' and 'iPod' software when I installed this machine (or at least I think I did) so it pops up ever time there are new versions of those softwre...

    What do people really think about Microsoft Word?

    Its also worth mentioning that many people grow up with Ms Word, its very common in schools etc, and most non-techy people don't like change. I remember being surprised how intuitive it was to use a browser other than IE for the first time (years ago now) - I think a lot of people assume a...

    Best camera for the Mac

    I have a Canon Ixus V3 - it works nicely with my G4, again only launches iPhoto (or Canon software if anyone uses that) on direct connection; obviously the memory card mounts as removable media in a reader - this is good as there is no obvious way to get the .avi file off if I have made a movie...

    Where the blazes is Keycaps?

    Thanks Delta! - I had thought of that, but thought that was too easy - suppose I should have tried it but I don't like to wast my user's time! Well, that saves me a software reinstall anyway - thanks again.

    Where the blazes is Keycaps?

    :confused: I have an OS 9.2.2 machine on which Keycaps won't start - but can't find where it is in the system Folder to replace it or wwhere it is on the CD to copy it from in fact! My other OS 9 machines only have it in System Folder\ Apple Menu Items, but a search yields nothing, even...
