achually miss c - solid doesnt give a shit about the mac, I dbout he will even try to use it when he gets it. He bought it to sell on and is achually using this thread as a marketing tool to advertise the mac.
Mr jools I do have a question for you, I have one of those airport express base stations to print my music through, today I decided to change it so I can also print through it - the printer I am using for this is a dymo 330 turbo. When I go to print it doenst print though, all it does is come up with a error on screen, but under airport options its shown as a wireless printer under airport options and bonjour . Any ideas?

I must admit that wireless networking is something I know next to nothing about, not having one myself or ever used one!
I would suggest disconnecting and deleting the Dymo printer from the 'Print & Fax' preference pane, re-connect it via the Airport Base Station, then re-add the printer in the 'Print & Fax' preference pane.
The Mac may have got confused about the location/connection of the printer.
Other than that there's not much else I can suggest!

The Spam filter in Entourage 2004 is under the Tools menu > Junk E-mail Protection
You then choose the level you want. It learns and gets better as time goes by.
Any reason why your friend isn't using Apple's Mail program? I find it better than Entourage and is much better integrated with the OS. For instance, the system wide Address Book is available in Mail, whereas with Entourage you need to maintain a separate Contact list. It's very easy to migrate all your messages and contacts to Mail if he decides to switch.

jools, as I think you know I recently bought a airport express, but sold it the otherday due to me getting annoyed that when I as using high levels of bandwith when playing music on my hi-fi it kept cutting out (as my macs old it doesnt have a 54mbps card but a 11mbps card). So as I thought the idea was pretty cool I went out and ordered a roku m1000 (probally 1 of the 2 compatable wirless music reciever thingies) anyway not being very clever I went out and ordered it pretty quick (should be here in like 12 hours) but I didnt think to check if id have the same problem as with the airport. Do you think it would be likely? As the aiport express just recieved music, but the roku achually uses the mac as a remote itunes server basically, can you see it stopping etc or slowing down my interent? Cheers

Luke: If you're streaming between one point and another, other things can be slowed down IF the connection is saturated, that means if its being used to most of its capacity.
Ideally you'd want to look at an 802.11g card for your mac, that way you'll have plenty to spare while streaming and your internet shouldn't be effected. (I just went to a wireless router for my main pc and laptop, absolutely loving it! Both are g however, bandwidth hasn't been a problem as I share lost episodes from my laptop to my main pc)
Not sure about the mac side of things but you might also have a setting either on the mac side or the airport side (if it allows settings?) for QoS (quality of service) - Using QoS you can reserve bandwidth on a connection so no matter how much you throw across your local network it always reserves some. (So for instance for your internet)
Hope that gives ya something to go on at least

@ gigs, yep your right. Idealy id like to upgrade my card to a 54mps airport extreme card, but unforchantly due to the age of my mac its not possible, it won't make alot of difference as in about 3-5 months im plannning on upgrading my mac before uni, to a mac book pro (just waiting for a 17" model lol)
