You might want to unplug it as well. If it is not the power supply, it
is something else with a lot of juice running through it. You have a
potential fire hazard.

True enough, but tripler type flybacks are commonly enough

Yes, people have been killed screwing around with flybacks. You are looking
at the potential discharge of tens of thousands of volts if you touch
certain things together. At the least you are looking at the worst case of

Monitor clarification on G3, G4 computers
We have just received about 20 G3's, but they were told the CRTs were dangerous
and hazardous and so had to be disposed of in the special trash.
So we have no monitors.
As I understand it, the G4 uses the same as the windows and so monitors are
