What kind of crap attitude is that?
What kind of crack is that Sellam.
It's a pretty defeastist and lazy message for this group. I'm just not
accustomed to people being too lazy to find the right tool, too scared
to
open up a case, and too insecure to attempt any sort of inspection of a
computer.
1 - I am not working - I can't afford to replace whatever I may break
2 - It's working well with it's 2mb of memory under OS 6, I don't really
*Need* OS 7.
Perhaps if it were not for these, I would chance it. I know All in One
macs are
pretty cheap (except I live in Tulare CA, A long ways from anywhere)
Just because I don't want to take a chance of
RUINING the ONE Mac SE I
have. EASY for you to say. You've got random machines stacked to the
roof. I've seen them.
You want another?
Yes please - or perhaps a powerbook - tradya
There are dangerous voltages on the analog board
of that machine.
Perhaps even FATAL voltages.
You're more likely to get hit by a car than get zapped by your
Macintosh
if you take simple precautions, like unplugging it from the wall for
example.
Yes I already know to unplug it and let it sit unplugged overnight or
for
a few hours at least. The CRT is a big capacitor and if it is not
properly
drianed it can throw you across the room. (well at least TV crts can.)
On top of that you know nothing of my electronics
repair skills, I
know
what my limits may be. I would not want to break one of the SIM
holders.
Take a chance.
like I said - easy for you to say
