It's interesting that these people who presume to be speaking "for the rest of the group" are insufficiently acquainted with this long-running debate to realise how many of us have repeatedly defended the rights of a genuine Mac-head to offer stuff for sale. This group is - fortunately not a frequent target for spam, is pretty light on traffic, and hence there can be no reason beyond personal pettyness to object to Andrew's monthy list of gear. For myself, I find only the objections objectionable. But Usenet's a free forum, and if folks want to display the narrowness of their minds, and expose their foolish expectations that Usenet will feature only posts that interest them - well, Usenet's a free forum ... Emma > > > Matt <matth@brz.org.au>: > > > > Use eBay? [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Emma Amen.... or should that be "A-woman"?! Well said. Lighten up, fellas. If this group was plastered with stuff for sale, you would have a point. It's not. One day you just might see for sale something here at a fair price that you desperately need in a hurry.

In all that time, you've been the one and only person who has consistently defended his right to use this small and dying forum for his benefit. (..and note that I wasn't the person initially complaining this time..) >> This group is - fortunately – not a frequent target for spam [..] You're obviously on a filtered feed. Checking the last ~700 messages on my newsserver for a.c.mac, about 25% are FS posts-- over 5-10 times that of the other (non-dead, filtered) aus.computers.* newsgroups.

It's also about the least frequently used > for discussion. I wonder why.. If you look at just this one thread you'll find a number of people speaking out against your intolerance. If you know about filtering, then why aren't you filtering what you don't want to read? It's simple enough, and after the 10 years you claim to have been around it's odd you haven't managed to do it. And if you feel this forum is dying, why don't you launch an interesting (and positive) discussion point, and not revive this sad bickering.

I resent that remark. I too, have *always* defended Andrews right to flog his wares in this NG.

And checking the past 20 odd *years* worth of posts made to ACM, only 18 posts are yours, a good proportion of which are complaining about Andrew. So what stupid point are you trying to make here? Signaturedee > Learn to use KFs FFS. Of course I do-- it's generally only the follow-ups from people asking what rational reason he has for not using eBay I get to see. > And checking the past 20 odd *years* worth of posts made to ACM, > only 18 posts are yours, a good proportion of which are complaining > about Andrew. An incredible bit of detective work and fact-finding there. You used Google Groups, which honours the X-No-Archive flag.

If there's one thing I can't tolerate, it's intolerance :-) All the best to you and yours for the holidoze. Emma > Thanks for joining in, Rifty. If there's one thing I can't tolerate, > it's intolerance :-) Me too! Just can't stand it! :) But I also do understand the annoyance of people with what they feel is spam. I've been in newsgroups online for nearly 20 years now (starting when I had a 300 baud modem and each character came onscreen about as fast as you could type.) Invariably, Mac users as a group are incredibly helpful people and it is rare that I haven't got useful assistance from someone over almost that long with aus.computers.mac. > All the best to you and yours for the holidoze. > > Emma Compliments of the season to all in this group. Now we can have a long irrelevant discussion as to whether religion should be brought into a Mac group. But then owning a Mac is a bit like a religion, isn't it? And as for Christmas hey, let's keep religion out of Christmas I say! :) Cheers to all, Rifty. Serious question..... I have a MacPro in a big fat box which I have never looked at closely except to plug things into various ports. It has space for 3 more internal SATA drives. If I bought one of these (and I gather there are cheaper alternatives to Apple ones) how hard is it to get into the box and install it? I am a real chicken at attepting to open computers still under warranty but these are surely designed to be opened and things dropped into spaces. Does anyone do this sort of thing routinely?

Hi Rifty Apple often supplies instructions on how to upgrade memory for their gear - might be worthwhile checking the Apple site or googling for upgrade memory for MacPro If found it will tell you how to open the box, and more relevently if it is on the Apple site then there should be no problems with your guarantee for opening the box Installing HDs is a cinch 4 screws and thats it, apart from the cables. When you look where the other HD cables cme from you should be able to see if an adaptor is needed, or if there is a spare socket to plug your new HD into I haven't installed any SATA drives, but have done lots of IDE drives in both Macs and Window boxes cheers - and all the best for a Merry and Safe Christmas to all David I have a Mac Pro and adding drives is dead easy. I use Seagate 7200.10 or 7200.11 drives at the moment. I have 3 of the 4 bays filled with about 1.2 TB total and the fans just tick over. I found when I filled the 4th bay the fan noise increased a little. The 2 non-boot drives sleep a lot - one is for disk images & the other for tv shows . Some hard drives can be a little noisy, or set up a hum in the case. If I don't like one I use it as an external mirror in a firewire case instead, so all internals are backed up at least once ......

Yes, but spam is unrelated garbage. Andrew's posts are not unrelated, and due to his unfailing regularity, we all know where we can buy [!] a version of Filemaker Pro 4! Like with Radio National's summer programs, we know the words off by heart! It's harmless, obvious and avoidable, and if these complaining dudes are as established as they claim, they ought to know how to kill-filter posts. And the posts are clearly labelled; they don't have to read them! > I've been in newsgroups online for nearly 20 years now (starting when I > had a 300 baud modem and each character came onscreen about as fast as > you could type.)

Can't quite match you there! But yes, our mac group is generally friendly, and I - for one - would like to keep it that way. > > > All the best to you and yours for the holidoze.

Does anyone do this sort of thing > routinely? Yes. It's unbelievably easy. Nothing like cracking the case on an SE/30 which was my Rubicon. As far as my knowledge goes, it's even easier on your flagship than my G4 tower. Drives have two connectors - power and data - and the plugs are moulded in such a way you CANNOT go wrong. If you want to be cautious, make sure you discharge any static from your body by first touching the power supply casing, don't touch anything you don't need to, and restrain the urge to remove dust. Tiptoe in and tiptoe out, and you'll be fine. Cheers Rifty. > Perhaps he would stop if the rest of the group asked him to, but I think > it's just you. > > Posting stuff for sale locally is fine by me. One has to wonder about guys that whinge about what others posters do or do not do. We are all free to choose whether or not we read any particular post, and it is very easy to simply ignore any particular post(s). In the case of Andrew I have seen his ads placed in this group every so often for the past few years or so. And up until recently I didn't bother reading them as there wasn't anything I needed. However when the need for an item arose it was damn handy to have a local contact, and even better, he had just what I needed, at a fair price. Item was as described, price for the item and postage was as agreed, and it was delivered as quickly as reasonably possible. So, now I have what I need I will go back to simply bypassing his adds - no biggy, no problem for me, but perhaps there is someone out there who just happens to need an item he has for sale, and now knows that he is not a rip off merchant or dodgy seller. So, I say leave him alone and expend your efforts on worrying about something important like global warming or whales or whatever.
