eMac: Apple censors messages on discussion boards!

Well THAT worked! I guess he was replying about the same time I started to peel the backing off that Intel sticker I bought at the trick and joke shop.

Looking forward to it ehMax! Let us all know if we can assist in any way.

Given the original topic of this thread...thought you all might give a hoot about this:

As reported by MacWorld UK.
Apple has admitted that there is a problem with "a small number" of its eMacs.

Apple’s KnowledgeBase technical issues database describes the problem as "a popping sound followed by a visible flash” inside the iMac's case that prevents its operation.

The problem occurs after the power button is pressed. The eMac was originally developed for schools but was later also offered for sale to consumers.

Apple is advising that owners of eMacs suffering from this problem should use an Apple-authorized service provider to remedy it.

Macnutt I think we should be mice and squeak after every ehMax post too bad we don't have a mouse smiley we could label "squeak" instead of eek. Hmmm maybe sq

Sounds good MacDoc! I honestly think that we've gotten his attention and he will be devoting some of his limited spare time to setting up the new forum.

I recommend a 3 day ban for anyone who bumps a thread over a year old for the hell of it.

Or, use vB to lock all such threads. Anyone who absolutely has to reference one can start a new thread with a link.

Very good idea.. HowEver...
