iMac question....

[SVPirate]

Oh, another word of sagely advice for G3 iMacs is get a nice low-noise fan and fit it under the 'handle' on the top to pull the hot air out from the unit, they are known to over heat in some circumstances, which in turn seems to damamge the analogue board (the high voltage PSU/CRT driver) and causes the machine to fail.

Mingle, you' have very... ummm... unique views as a person! :-)

Well, you're from "down under", so I guess things would appear upside down from our view :-P

BTW, I agree with what SVP said about cooling. Enjoy your Mac!
