iMac cursor turns into a bomb — #2

iMac cursor turns into a bomb — #1

I've never seen it myself until now, but I've heard of it. The cursor turns into a little bomb icon. So weird. http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0324pe1.jpg

Anybody Have A Quark QC10? — #3

Doesn't look home-brew to me... my guess would be that they used the same back panel for both the SCSI version (as pictured) and the Smart Port version for the IIc. The IIc version…

1400c keyboard in a Duo? — #2

Without major hacking at the cables (if its even possible), its impossible - the cables are completely different.

1400c keyboard in a Duo? — #1

They are subjectively (I didn't measure, just put the books next to each other) the same width, and without the function keys, approximately the same height. Anyone have a clue on…

Retro fitting an iMAC — #2
