    Got a new (old) IMac

    I notice there's this loose? connector when I took off the outermost bottom panel, but taking that panel off, I don't see any obviously missing components. I wonder if the RAM is bad. http://www.fairbrothers.com/IMG_7077.JPG http://www.fairbrothers.com/IMG_7080.JPG

    Got a new (old) IMac

    Well, got the CD door to open, anyway. No luck with the (left) Alt key, though. Just shows the backlight. When I put a CD in the drive, it pops back out after a minute. Nothing on the screen. I'll have to look around and see if I can find a Mac CD somewhere, but CD's are supposed to be...

    Got a new (old) IMac

    I was lucky to get an IMac at an auction the other day. This is kind that looks like a half-globe on the bottom, a silvery post then holds up the ultra-flexible monitor. The model number is "M6498 EMC No.: 1873." Copyright 2002. When I plug it in the monitor glows with a soft white light...
