Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

what the hell are you people talking about? the company wants to spend $6k giving me garbage? gently caress that i'll take actually good poo poo instead. fine i'll figure out a way to make it $6k instead.

if you guys think apple scamming apple fans is worth scamming companies too i guess that makes more sense anyway

They're actual braindead morons man. ALl they want to do in here is pose as Knowers of Good Opinions.

I don't believe calling you a moron (correctly) sometimes is as worrying behavior as you defending apple in every thread of this lovely forum in the most boring product cultist way for years on end.

really appreciate the offer but i guess i should make a note that right now is a bad time since i have some medical challenges in the way and am trying to avoid having one shipped to me, but thank you!

I'm in Edmonton, so that might not be that much shipping.
I'll make it 50 if you install the replacement display yourself.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
there’s also an iMac G4 on SF Bay Craigslist for cheap

and someone has been trying to get rid of an eMac (calling it an “Apple eMachine”)

I bought an old imac because I am also a sucker, but the flyback transformer is arcing so it's clearly on its last legs and I'm not sure if I'm able to swap in a new flyback from ebay without blowing something up. :(

It sounds like the flyback starts arcing on almost all of the CRT iMacs when they get older so don't get one unless you're willing to take it apart and fiddle with high voltage guts
