Yesterday, I came home to find that my Mac's screen was dark and the power supply was making an ominous clicking sound. I brought it in for servicing and just heard that the analog board needed to be replaced (includes power supply). Cost?? $125 parts + $40 labor. Order time?? Uh, two days to, uh, two weeks... I bought my mac (an original Fat Mac) almost exactly four years ago. I haven't had any problems with it until now. (Although I did have the power supply on my Dataframe 20XP die on me.) Is this a common problem? Are the repair people giving me a straight deal? Thanks in advance for any adive. Going cold turkey in Ohio... -=- Marc Sarrel sarrel@cis.ohio-state.edu | "Language is a virus from Department of Computer and Information Science | outer space.
