John: Are you serious? The install disks are keyed to a specific iMac serial number? I bought all 4 of my PowerPC G5 iMacs at the same time. I have two different sets of iMac G5 disks that I have tried, and neither one is working. You know, I have loved using Macs from the first time I laid fingers on one, but these white iMacs have been the biggest PITA. Between bad capacitors on the motherboards and in the power supplies, burned up hard drives, bad pixels in the flat screens AND a bad stand on one of them, I have had more trouble with these particular machines in the 4 years that I have had them than I have with my 20 year old collection of IIsi Macs! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
