User Group News

Well here’s my gripe for the month. I am a

Cube user and have been very happy with it.

Yes, I joined the Cube User’s Club site. Yes it

still works like a charm. I’m using OS X almost

exclusively. I only go back to the Classic mode

to play “Forty Thieves”– on which, according

to Shelly, I spend too much time. At any rate,

I’m using OS X 10.2.6 at the time of writing.

I bought a UMAX Flatbed scanner about a

year and a half ago. It has a USB connection,

and I no longer had a SCSI port to attach my

old scanner. I bought a slightly better scanner

because it scans transparencies and ﬁlm as

well as pictures and text. What I realized after

updating my driver, that the scanner worked,

but it used the Classic system. This did not

really matter to me. It worked very well. As I

upgraded my OS, both 9 and 10, to the present

levels, OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.2.6, I found that my

driver and scanner no longer worked.

I was unable to ﬁnd an updated driver on

line, and after e-mailing and calling the com-

pany repeatedly, I ﬁnally received a response.

They are not supporting the UMAX line for

the Mac, with very few exceptions. They just

don’t care. I pressed and they suggested ways

to upgrade that involved spending more than I

had paid for the scanner in the ﬁrst place.

Of course, Brad came through as usual by

suggesting the best solution. I bought a new

scanner, as he suggested, EPSON Perfection

1260, which met both my scanning needs and

my pocketbook. The old scanner went to a

grandchild who has a (whisper) PC, and I plan

to send a copy of the July FORUM including

this message to UMAX as well. 0

AppleScript. “What’s that?” you say. It’s a powerful,

easy-to-use, English-like scripting/macro language

for automating tasks on your Mac. “But, I’m not a

programmer. I don’t know how to write computer

code!” Well you don’t really have to know how

to write programs, because there are many ready-

made scripts available, but if you want to try your

hand at it, you do have to know a few simple rules.

Our guest speaker this month is Ben Waldie and

he will show us how easy it is to get started using

AppleScript and what some of the simple rules are.

Friday, July 11th at 7 p.m., Building 300,

Technology, Old Westbury.
