Diaper? Heh. There's no effective way to do that and not defeat the rather elaborate cooling system. And, the danger from leaks isn't so much to the CPUs as it is to the power supply, which lives directly underneath the CPUs and cooling system. In fact, Apple already has installed a diaper-like absorbent pad on the metal plate that covers the power supply opening. But it's only effective in catching the first drops when a leak starts, which means frequent inspections are your best bet. Or upgrade Apple's pad with one made from a spare pair of Depends. :^) Jim Scott -- 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.
