ROTFL! Yup Yup Yup! Precisely the reason I haven't bought a converter box or a new TV yet. No point in trying to get the landlord to put an antenna up when I'm leaving soon, and I'll be able to get discounted cable in the new apartment. If it were just a matter of getting TV, I could stick with my ancient RCA for a while, at least until the digital cable switchover, but it doesn't take care of my monitor problem. *sigh* Is there some way to use the RCA as a monitor for an MDD? or my MBP? AND still use it to watch TV once I have cable? You don't want to use an analog TV as a monitor for a computer. The image will be fuzzy at best. If you use it at 640x480 it might be passable, depending on how soon you want to start using glasses or change to a more powerful prescription. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Re: G5 PowerPC iMac on it's back?
Thanks, Jim ... Sorry if this is a duplicate reply. Thought I'd thanked you earlier, but don't see my post. I'll set up a small fan and give it a try. Jean Cooling air enters through the perforated vent on the bottom of your iMac and is blown out the top slit on the back by the three fans. Of course, some of the heat rises by convection too, so there's that to be considered. If I were in your situation, I would elevate the iMac so that there is plenty of room for air movement around it, and then point a (quiet) oscillating fan directly at the air intake vent. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
