That's what I'm thinking too, fugu-- thanks for the link.
Grr. I love my mac, but it's just so expensive. . . and the warranty (which was extended) expired in December.

quote: scottneb, I have a 17-inch iMac, too - a G5. How do you like yours?
I absolutely love the thing. I kept my 1.3 GHz WinXP machine around in case I had a compatibility problem and have never even turned it back on since the iMac arrived. My favorite feature is the File Vault that encrypts your Home Folder based on your password. I also love the built in Fire Wall and the ease of using it. My wife finally got started on Photoshop, which she gave up on when using the PC.

Heh, I haven't used FileVault. I am worried that I will forget my password and lose my stuff forever. Posts: 5771 | Registered: Nov 2000

Scott, did you ever find out what was wrong with your computer?
My iMac G5, bought when they first came out back in November, has been having system freezes with increasing frequency. I took it to the Apple Store yesterday and was told that the system freezes are kernel panics, and that I will probably need the midplane assembly replaced.
Hope it doesn't take too long, I miss my nice computer. My hubbly's IBM laptop is old and slow.

Just for the record, I just got a call from the Apple Store and they are, in fact, replacing the midplane assembly of my iMac - the tech said it should take a couple of days.

My iMac had a problem with the fans making WAY too much noise. It wasn't, as they said, "whisper quiet." They sent me the midplane assembly and I did the install myself in about two hours. I'm very surprised at how easy it was to replace such an extensive part.
