Never mind, I figured it out. Found out that Apple doesn't know how to
make power cords but HP does :-)

I was in a surplus store this morning and some guy walked in with an
iMAC and said
"Here you can have it." and walked out! I brought it home
and hokked it up but I can't even figure out how to turn the darnned thing
on! Can anyone help? It's a model M5521 350MHz G3 "Blueberry" iMAC.

Ouch! That hurts. I always thought Apple had decent cords. Well, then
again I always thought these clear-plugged ones that came with my
iMac were a bit strange, but it oughta glow nicely when it arcs :-)

The only acceptable apple is the one you eat after
lunch.
Ordinarily I'd agree but I'm not turning down any free computers.

Same here - someone offered me a Celeron-400 system for
free - IIRC the
reason was "it's too powerful for our network". What, a C400 with 90MB RAM
and 8GB HDD is "too powerful"?
One Intel PRO/100 Ethernet card later and it's sitting on my network running
Bugzilla and playing MPEGs. "Windows? Only windows 'ere are the ones that let
the sun in!"
Later.
