I have a Power Computing Power Tower Pro 200 Mac clone.
I also purchased a Sony TRV 9 digital camcorder. I need to
know what and where to purchase the items to successfully
link the camera to my Mac clone. Both the computer and
camcorder are very satisfactorily. The how to get them
together is my question. The EEE1334 technology is available
or so stated Sony before I purchased the camera. I need
specifics at this point.
Thanks

No competition as far as I'm concerned. The Epson's output quality has to
be seen to be believed especially on photo grade glossy
paper...photo-realistic doesn't quite sum up the effect.
As far as ink cartridges go, I've had an Epson 600 at home now for a
year, and run hundreds of prints through it and never had a problem with
nozzle failure. We do have the Epson 3000 at work, and have run thousands
of prints through it, and had nozzle failure on the black once, which
Epson fixed under warranty on site within 3 days of the problem being
diagnosed. (They actually replaed the entire printer which was quite
amusing...)
Another factor is advertising. Anyone seen any suppliers running full
page stock lists for HP lately? I don't think so... The Epsons have been
so phenomally popular esp. with the iMac that most UK suppliers barely
even mention any other inkjet manufacturers in their listings.
For more advice try UK MacUsers website at www.macuser.co.uk and search
their database of product tests. They recently tested about 15 different
printers including the bigger epsons, and the 740 came out top on value
for money etc. Go for it!
(and no, I don't work for Epson...)
Cheers, Dan Thurgood.

Uhhh...the part he didn't see? Those addresses are only posted on the digest

This is more of a suggestion then a solution.
About a year ago in the hopes that one day I would be able to play really
cool graphics intensive games and also hook up my external VCR to my
computer so that I could watch movies while typing up documents without the
necessity of turning my head to see the television, I purchased a 540
Picasso Graphics processor for my Starmax.
http://www.softhut.com/mac/mp540.html
6 months later I was playing really cool games, but I still had to turn me
head to watch the television, so I began planning on obtaining a Paloma
(video input): $ 169.95, to make my dream possible. It was ordered, and
I've been waiting for the module to arrive ever since, there was some kinda
problem with their actual functionality.
http://www.softhut.com/mac/hwmodules.html
Nowadays you could try the 850 module, and see what happens. But for me
this year I'm planning on waiting till Mac World in July, and then just
going down the street to the Javits center to check out/obtain the
necessary merchandise.

>Hey! Perl - my favorite language!
veru much off the list, but I thought (some) people here would know:
What are good resources (especially books) to learn PERL for CGIs? I saw
some books in Barnes and Nombles (one of the visual learning serires that
didn't look too bad) but don't know about them.
What I want is something fast and easy since I don't have much time to
learn it nor do I want to become a PERL God, just good enough to build
and debug decent CGI scripts.
Thanks.

sounds like Quicktime picture viewer is intercepting the attachment and
making itself the preffered app for that type (since it's coming in MIME
format Quicktime can easily do this).
Check the Quicktime prefs and mappings as well as eudora's mappings for
helpers and Internet Config (if you're using it).

Adaptec sells a PCI card, the 8920, to do that. They list it at $299 on
their web site. They also sell the 8945 which is a combo IEEE1394 and UW
SCSI card for $699.
They also have specs for another card, the 8940 that does firewire, but
I didn't find it on their online store.

Hi all,
thanks to everyone who helped me with this problem. I tried all the
recommended solutions, but true to form, it was the least-likely sounding
one that worked... namely the printer share names were too long.
Shortening them made all the difference and suddenly everything works fine.
It just hammers home the point about how different the two Windows versions
are. I'm not used to Win95/98 and so haven't really appreciated NT, taking
it for granted, but I'm beginning to realise how much better it is compared
to it's lesser cousin.
Anyway, thanks again to all those who replied. Much appreciated.
Cheers,

I ran across this once too on an IBM StinkPad runing Windows 95 and
found that you can manually type in the printer's name and that will
work. It just won't show up when you browse for it.

First let me apologize for the series of really dumb questions I'll be asking in
the next few weeks.
We just got a Dell Server with Back Office Small Business Server and have a
programmer modifying some service system and accounting software for a network of
currently 4 PCs (10 user license).
Without much of a problem we were able to set up Outlook so that the PC users could
use email.
Now I want to add several Macs to the network so that they can share printers and
email (internal for now).
The good news is that I installed Mac Services without too much trouble (we're
supposed to call Dell for support but thus far they've just provided noise where
Mac services are concerned... don't get me started about they're screwy support on
my 3500 laptop).
Connected my mac to the network, no problem with setting up printer services, set
up shared folder accessible from my Mac and the PCs in about 5 minutes, very nice
so far.
Now comes the first problem. installed Outlook Express on my Mac, go to the
preferences area and options for connecting to the local server which are present
in the PC version are not in the Mac Version. Is there a version of Outlook (not
Outlook Express for the Mac) is there a server ready version and were do I get it?
Am I missing something in the Outlook setup for the Mac?
More generally, the only reference to Mac Services in the BackOffice Help and
Online files are in of all things "troubleshooting" and hardly any help at all.
Can't find anything very useful on the Microsoft Web Site. Are there FAQs, web
sites, books, covens, cults, or secret societies where I can info about Mac
Services under NT?
TIA
Tony

Keep at it - your Mac will work on the server just fine.
Outlook is not the same as Outlook Express. You can find a just released
version of Outlook here:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/exchange/exchange-public/fixes/Eng/Exchg5.5/
SP3/MAC/macout82.bin
I just downloaded this to install myself. Based on the comments that
I've seen so far it doesn't support PC/Mac calendaring - that is the only
drawback.
