Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / August 2007

Was in Greece last week and using the MBP with a three to two pin
adapter when I noticed I was getting a very mild buzz type shock when I
touched any part of the top case surrounding the keyboard.  Removing
the mains power or insulating myself (i.e. sitting on wodden chair and

Does anyone know of a good template to use as a certificate to award at
the end of a training course. I'm going to modify the original flyer
for the course but when I went looking around for a template today the
iWork site I usually use didn't have anything.

I posted about this a couple of months ago, and smugly thought I'd found
a solution to the problem of Mail trying to synchronise with several GBs
of Public Folders on an Exchange server.
I did find a way of stopping the stuff actually getting downloaded (just

Don't know if this has been mentioned here (a quick Google suggests
not). Nokia have a beta app to transfer music and photos from a Mac to
their phone, called Nokia Multimedia Transfer, at:

I'm quite surprised - I'd given up hope of this happening. Still,
versiontracker dutifully reported the upgrade and the only change noted

The game isn't exactly performance-sensitive anyway, but the the nice

I made a mistake just now. After composing a very clever, witty, erudite
and much researched feedback letter in a web form, I clicked on the
subject to edit it, and hit backspace. Unfortunately the subject wasn't

I've had my MBP a couple of months now and I love it! But waking it up
sometimes takes an age, as long as five minutes sometimes :(
I've set it up to require a password to unlock the screen, which pops
pretty snappily, but then it just sits there beachballing. The HD or CPU

I see that a whole market has sprung up while I wasn't paying attention:
Internet radio devices complete with speakers and wireless, which are
perhaps the first genuine Internet appliances for domestic use, and
retailing for £50-£200.

I've just reinstalled OS 9.2.2 on my beige G3. This OS supports CDR
burning as a Finder Extension; some digging through the Extensions
folder reveals a set of CD-RW drivers, one per drive manufacturer.
The Drive Burner utility reports that Lite-ON 16x 52x 32x 52x combi

OSX, permissions, how-thin-is-your-keyboard, iPhone, Aqua this, graphite
that. You know, all the basic business functions I do could probably
still be done on an SE/30. I loved that old thing. It was my little
beige friend and we went everywhere together.

It's not a new report, I suspect but CBA to Google, that the use of Macs
in "Escape to the country" has been commented on before. But I noticed
during a very idle moment today that they hav e taken to sticking a
large logo for the programme over the Apple logo on the MBP they use to

Opening this week I see.

I feel a trip coming on.

Any reason why the following DDR DIMM shouldn't work in a PPC Mac Mini:
