	I've been into all this in some detail, and it is nothing to do with
the paper. Spattering is inherently independent of the paper type, and the
bleeding was noticeably worse from the DJ500 using identical paper to that
used in the BJ330.  This appeares to be due to the DJ500 using more ink (it
gave a noticeably blacker result). It appears that there is some considerable
variation in the print quality of the DJ500 depending on the particular
instance of ink cartridge. I don't know whether BJ330's vary much, all I know
is that the example from the BJ330 was difficult to tell from a laser printer
output, while the DJ500 (tested with two different cartridges) was obviously
inferior.  I certainly wish this wasn't the case !

Denis,

Your local Apple University Consortium office (i.e. ourselves!) can help
you
solve this problem.  You can use Apple's revised "LaserWriter Utility"
to achieve what you are after.

	I went along to this as well, and ws quite impressed with the
show. Last time I saw the Joys was just after the release of Psycohum.
Now they seem a lot more comfortable with the material. In particular
they seem to be extending songs, wheras last time they could have played
a copy of the album and I wouldn't have known the difference. 

	It was Suzie's birthday, so the obvious happened, and she seemed
quite happy, taking some photo's of the crowd.

Well, it's almost the end of the year, and time once again for me
to try my hand and predicting the ten biggest selling singles of the
year.  These are my predictions only, and for comparison, you should
check out the top 60 of 1992 that will be shown on RAGE, Channel 2,
on Boxing Day morning.  Last year, I had quite a good run, correctly
guessing singles #1, #2, #3 and #4, and being between one and 3 places
out for the remaining ones in the top 10 .  I seem to have a good prediction 
year, then a bad one, etc.  So don't expect these predictions for the 10
biggest of 1992 to be that good, since I can't have two good
years in a row! :-)

Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT:   These are my predictions only, and are not guaranteed to
             be exactly the same as the list put out by A.R.I.A.

NOTE:        Some records which are really selling well at the moment,
             like:
                    END OF THE ROAD - Boyz II Men
                    THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY - Wendy Matthews

             may enter the top 10.  I have calculated the above up till
             Dec 11th, so some records may sell very well in the last
             two weeks of the year, which I have not accounted for.
             Also note that THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE (#10
             in my chart above), is still top 10 on the weekly charts,
             so it could easily move up another couple of chart
             positions on my chart above before the end of the year.

Enjoy!   And don't make too much fun of me if my predictions
for the top 10 of 1992 are totally wrong! :-) :-)

Well you almost got it right! Not that private unfortunately.  

Anyway I'd like to make one point which I feel is very important to do with the JJJs'. Apologies to the person who believes this should be in aus.politics but 
this thread seems to be getting a lot of air play here. Surely you must know 
how to drive your news reader NOT to select these JJJ articles! 
	One point I have not seen discussed yet it the fact that JJJ are 
broadcasting national and that they regularly play "first cuts" ( For the those who don't know , thats a first release of some new/recorded band ) so for the
lucky ones that get to air , they are being heard by a very large audience... 
This has to be a great BONUS for Australian Musicians. It's hard enough now to 
try and get recognition when you have to compete against the commercial radio 
stations for air play. NO commercial radio station I know about has ever played
a local unsigned band because they wont take the risk of loosing/turning off
listeners. Now before you flame, I do think commercial music is great and I 
don't have any fav's when it comes to music. I like it all but I cant stand the interuptions by bloody adds and the fact that the JJJs' will take a "punt" and 
play something different makes it interesting to listen to.

If the J's go , it would be a very very sad day for the Australian music
industry ( listeners and players ) as all you'll get to here is what SELL's. 
Has anyone mentioned the fact that a lot of "top" notch Australian Musicians
first got air play by the Js' - Midnight Oils' a good example. 
The funny thing about listening to the Js' is that they'll play something new
then 6 months down the track you hear it on commercial radio ".... And now for 
the very LATEST from xyz ... blah blah blah... 

my 2 cents worth..

	" All the way with JJJ " sound fresh ;-)

Does anybody know why the program "AM" broadcast in Sydney on 2BL is not also
broadcast on the FM band? Could ABC FM be used for this? This would avoid
encroaching on those committed to the much debated JJJ.

For a moment I forgot what group I was posting to. Time for a music question.

    Anybody know the name of the male vocalist in that one hit (Video
    Killed The Radio Star) wonder band "The Buggles"?

Well, as it's the end of the year and everyone seems to be
reviewing the last 12 months - I'm offering to to the donkey
work for a 'best Australian Artist release' for 1992.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's how I'm going to run it:

	Each person has 5 'points' or 'votes' to assign

	You can allocate all 5 points to 1 release, 1 each to 5
	different releases, or any combination you like that uses 5 points

	CDs, vinyl, cassette, flexi..etc are all accepted releases


Example:

	"Accindentaly Sold Out" CDEP by "Frente" 5 points


	Email your selection to me, by 29th December & I'll summarise
	the responses before the 31st.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last year saw about 70 responses - so it should be fairly
representative of the readership (maybe the active readership, as I'm well
aware there's no way of knowing exactly how many access this group!)

before the 31/12/92, I'll post the email addresses of participants,
or just the name if anyone objects to that.

regards,

I agree. When it comes to projects like the Frankin River Dam.

But are you seriously suggesting we go private on everything and end up
with a system similar to that in America. Sixty channels of the same
bland rubbish is not "choice". Spending 11% on your gross domestic 
product on health care is probably not "economically ratonal" either.

I agree.  If any government tried shutting Triple J down, they'd probably
