what will happen when it turns out that I was the 15th person to order
this machine?
A sudden drastic increase in the sale price quite possibly :( Or perhaps a
sudden appearance of a certain keyboard-less, mouse-less Lisa on eBay.
If anyone on the list gets it and bought it for parts, I'd be
interested in purchasing the rear case panel off of you! That, or does
anyone know of anything else that uses that exact screw latch? The main
problem with my back panel is that the latch closest to the PSU (and
nearest the dead-man switch) is missing, with part of it's mounting area
borke as well.
Just curious but have you checked to see if the latch is a standard
industrial part? I wonder if Small Parts or someone like that might have
it. I'd be willing to bet that Apple bought it from someone that
specializes in that kind of part.
