No. But as I think I stated, I didn't want to just replace the hard
drive. Though that's not the problem, or so I'm told. But if it had
been I'd go with the external TB drive that could be moved to the new
computer when I bought one. Now it looks like I need the new computer
anyway, so the question is mute. Now I need an external enclosure for
my old iMacs hard drive. The old enclosure I've got doesn't work with
the newer iMac drives. At least I have all my data available and not
lost. Only $ lost buying a new computer. But I'm kind of happy about
that. I have an excuse to buy a new intel iMac.
By the way. This iMac was the shortest lived Mac I've ever owned.
I'm still using a clam shell laptop. It's working fine. My iBook G3
(white) is giving me problems, but that's my fault. I replaced the
hard drive and wasn't careful enough putting things back together. It
still works, but is a little flaky at times. Good to know, I'm not a
Mac tech. pro. So no need to apply for that job position.

my hard drive in the iMac had finally died. Now I'm
wondering if I should/could get an external firewire drive and have
it run the OS on the iMac, or just buy a new iMac. Any thoughts?
Depends on how old your iMac is. Tell me more.
