The iMac is back!

I haven't been (completely) lazy over the past 2 months, its just that our iMacG5 was having some serious problems. Whenever we would use it, it would work find for 10-15 minutes and then effectively freeze with the spinning beach ball (similar to the hour glass in Windows). Anyway after much wranging at the Apple Store in both Boulder and Broomfield, the Broomfield store replaced my motherboard, power supply and hard drive for free. So I took it home quite happy until I discovered this did NOT fix the problem. I took it back and they discovered I had a bad SATA cable from the motherboard to the hard drive itself. So remember, always verify you have good cables before spending hundreds of dollars on other components. Luckily Apple had to learn this lesson the hard way and not me.
