I had some problems with my iMac over this past summer that resulted in them giving me a brand new 20" one in exchange, only to be found to have an inferior screen to my previous one and not at all acceptable to my needs as an illustrator. Anyway, I was able to pay a small bit more to upgrade to a nice 24" screen which seems to be working very well.<BR/><BR/>I think this may be the first time I've actually posted on your blog, but I want you to know how much I enjoy your very informative articles along with the accompanying artwork. I check in here at least a couple times a week and really appreciate all of your tremendous effort in creating such a valuable resource. Merry Christmas to you, Leif, and I look forward to what you've got lined up for us in the New Year!<BR/><BR/>PetePete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-61811872277579200142008-12-19T18:42:00.000-05:002008-12-19T18:42:00.000-05:00Hey Bruno, They do teach that stuff at my art scho...Hey Bruno, They do teach that stuff at my art school!

Fortunately I reported the issue on the very last day of my AppleCare agreement. Not my usual luck, to say the least, but I'll take it! Anyway, they replaced the logic board and one of the processors. I got it home and the drive bay was still overheating, causing the fans to pick up again. It still works, though, so since I'm in the middle of a big project I'm going to take it in when I'm done. They're going to replace the entire housing this time, I'm told because some of the wiring related to the problem is part of the housing assembly. By the time they're done I'll practically have a new machine.<BR/>I really enjoy your blog, thanks for all the work you put into it. Good luck getting back on your feet!<BR/><BR/>Steve D'Amico<BR/>http://stevendamico.blogspot.com/Steven D'Amicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076658038647341125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-30706083389030840282008-12-18T21:32:00.000-05:002008-12-18T21:32:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to hear you lost last your scannned imag...I'm sorry to hear you lost last your scannned images.

My G4 went down after 10 years of use (costs work out at .5 euro per day so a pretty good bargain from Apple I think) so found a G5 on French ebay for 250 euros that will stand in in until Santa brings me a new shiny Mac. Great blog as it reminds me of working for various ad agencies in London from the end of the sixties.
