but I seem to have gotten one of the infamous grey screens of death iMacs. The ones they produced right before they came out with the ultra thin iMacs have a heat problem- causing the logic board (I think) to get to hot, causing the screen to go grey. I am going to have to take it in. Oh well, I paid $65 for it- that was for postage and insurance. I switched to Apple when they made the first flat screen iMac (with the hemispherical base). That was the first and last Mac I paid for. My dad has used them since 84, and buys a new one every two years. He then sends me his "old" one. This is the first time I have ever had a hardware problem.
