The hardware test disc probably won't say anything since it is working but you never know. Are any of the machines at the college like your new iMac? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Probably don't need the keyboard and mouse either but I'd say bring 'em. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Pisses me off I do understand they want to check it out to make sure that something else is not the problem - but gheess , known reoccurring problems the parts should be in stock at all times . _________________________
