excellent responses, you guys! i was hoping this was what i would hear back about my duo 2300c. dragoth, sorry to crush your illusions about the aluminum or magnesium spacer frame, but, no, I really think it ain't light metal. it's crummy plastic, colored like light metal. metal rings when you tap it. this stuff doesn't even sound like pot metal. it wiggles and wibbles like plastic and there are no metal tear marks where it gave way under the force of 'godzilla's tearing at it, to get the hard drive out. it just snapped off like plastic does. no tool marks on it like metal shows. what a neanderthal!. couldn't even use a screwdriver to undo the screws. just tore and pried and broke it off!. a person like that doesn't even deserve to own a computer! i wonder what made it stop working in the first place. i bet they got the same speech at the mac store that i got, and decided it wasn't worth it, all they wanted to preserve was what was on the HD. knowing this neighborhood, either it had drug customers and profits from deals on it, or else movie or music industry data in development. hah. as if. i looked at that service up in san fransisco/fremont. i think i'll keep them as a second choice if my first choice gets complicated. but you came thru for me, guys. cheers for all of you. when i got these macs, i was truly scared that i couldn't learn how to use them. i didn't know how on earth i was gonna figure them out alone. but the same thing they say in 12 step meetings applies here: 'no one can do it for you, but you can't do it alone" janet
