Screen Burn In
Hi My new eMac is working lovely, but I have noticed a dark square in the middle of the screen. All three machines took a while for the screens to work properly. The two 800's were very fuzzy and slightly green tinted for about 5 minutes and then it wore off and has been fine all day. The 1.25 was fuzzy and green too which has cleared up but it also looks like the Mac OSX start up screen (with the box in it that loads) has burnt into the screen slightly. It has gotten less as the day goes on but is still quite noticeable, leaving a dark shading in the centre. Will this disappear eventually? Can I do anything to help it? I picked up a bunch of iMac G3s a while ago which hadn't been turned on for a while and the screens needed 'warming up' and then they were fine, so I think these eMacs haven't been used for a while.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I keep seeing rumors that new mac minis are close. Nov 10? In about a year my wife and I are moving to mexico for a bit. Not sure if have a PC and a Mac will be very portable. Also, I checked out Pystar machines. I like what they want to do. But psystar has no iLife support and I am not sure how their customer service is regardless of the price. I think the mini will work fine.

DLink G122 Keeps Disappearing

Re: DLink G122 Keeps Disappearing
I don't mean to sound negative, but mine started doing the exact same thing. If you have a Windows box, try it with the windows driver and see if it does the same thing. When mine did that, Dlink ended up declaring that a fatal electrical short had occurred, causing the device to short out when it heated up. So, if you have a Windows box, try it and see if you get the same result.

Failed Backup
Hello, I bought a 259GB external disk to use for backing up my internal 80GB HD on my eMac, which is using OS 10.5.5. One of my friends on the email circuit recommended that I divide the disk into two partitions, one the same size as my internal HD ( 80GB ) and the other what was left. They said I should connect the larger one to the Time Machine so it will be constantly up to date. I should backup the smaller one every month or so to bring it up to date. Imagine my surprise today when I switched to the smaller backup partition and got a message that I needed 42.4 GB and I only had 41.5GB, so I couldn't backup. Any suggestions?
