My tumble dryer died on Monday afternoon. I've been looking around the shops and those things are more expensive than I recall them being in the past. There's one retailer I haven't considered yet, forgot about them until late yesterday after they closed for the day. They used to be a grocery clearance centre, but now they deal mostly in whitegoods of an unknown brand and general hardware as well as potatoes & eggs. I'll check the out in a couple of hours when they open for the day.

The Weekly Poo
Basically, it's just a recording of a cow pooing. New cow each week.
@hazardwarning I have a Nikon D5100 with four lenses & I get confused as to which settings are best for which effect. I recently discovered a website where I can, for $10 per lens, buy cheat sheets (as PDFs) for pretty much any setting available. The sheets are designed to be read on a smartphone or printed individually.

When I ran Applejack on the G3 Pismo PowerBook, I couldn't get it to work, after each keypress when trying to enter the word applejack, a zero would appear & the command wasn't recognised. Then I realised it was version 1.4, intended for Jaguar (10.2) & Panther (10.3) versions of OS X.
Installing version 1.6 of Applejack fixed the problem, it's in used now.
Discussion on the Mac user group forum re the difference in terminology between using the Terminal App & single user mode made me remember an old utility app that was run from single user mode. That is Applejack & I know I'll have to install it on the G5 PowerMac & the G3 Pismo PowerBook. It is already on the G4 MDD PowerMac & might need to also be added to the G4 eMac. I'm not sure about the Titanium PowerBook, I need to do a bit more checking.
It's a really handy utility, repairs startup drives, repairs permissions, removes corrupt preferences, cleans out system & individual user caches and removes swapfiles.
It can be run manually or automatically, if AUTO is entered instead of auto, it goes into deep clean mode.
A way to determine if it's installed is to open Terminal app and enter 'man applejack'. If it's installed Terminal will open a user manual for the app.
Every 2 months I compile a crossword for the Mac User Group magazine. Here's the latest one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/90j96z5neh7r9f2/ausom-march%202017topublish_march.pdf?dl=0
Since getting home, Mum's made me three cups of tea, the first had to be chucked out cos the milk was off.
She must have forgotten she'd given me the 2nd one because she brought in a 3rd one a minute ago. That's fine, I like tea the way she makes it.
