... the whole 2006 white line.

And how do you keep them clean?

Soft cloth with window cleaner

You should check the ingredients of that window cleaner. It's OK for the body, but the screen can get messed up with some chemicals.

I actually have saved enough so far to afford a white MacBook, however, after using one belonging to a friend of mine I have discovered that I just cannot handle a 13 inch screen. So, I go onward to "Pro"... should have enough to afford it after selling my eMac.

Ha, while on that note, anybody want to buy a 1Ghz eMac? :)

I use it in a low density solution, never applied directly on the screen, but put on the cloth first, then I use the cloth to clean the screen.

Oh that's a nice setup chevy

The 24" still looks like a behemoth to me. I'd love one though :P I'd have to be sitting quite far from it too.

I lost 1,000 dollars trying to get one, but I still managed to buy a MacBook within a month of the incident. You save properly and you'll have one soon enough.

I don't know what y'all have against eMacs - I really like them!

Yah, so do I, I love mine, but I've had it for about 4 years and its getting out dated

I like the eMac also. The only two things going against it are the unfortunate capacitor issue and the weight. Other than that, I think it's a beautiful Mac, especially with a bright and crisp flat CRT. Makes the G3 iMacs look ancient with their curved CRTs.

I second that.

Apple wasn't the only one affected by this problem. IBM, Dell, Asus, ABIT, and a bunch of other manufacturers went through it as well.

you, I just realised, thats whats the problem with my iMac G5.

If that's the case, then Apple might be able to repair it for free.

The only thing I ever needed to repair on my G3 iMac was the battery, as it was completely broken and leaked...
So it wasn't on all models.

PS: The AppleCare link is to Apple Australia, just FYI...
