Hey there- Yes, it was the early first-issue Apple III's that sometimes had to be dropped a couple inches to reseat some of the chips. And I thought it was because they popped out when they heated up, but maybe I'm wrong... Either way, there was a recall and Apple fixed your Apple III no questions asked if yours suffered from that particular ill.
Anyway, I've never heard of any such problem with a IIfx. -Nat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Wheeler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vintage Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 11:28 AM Subject: Re: Dead Mac IIfx > It might've been the Apple III. > > Matthew > > > >Is this the model that had to be dropped onto the table due to > > > the parts coming loose in shipping?
