YUK!!!
At first I saw the side view and thought it was a new Gillette razor.
And not a mention of the G5 iMac design which is far more elegant.

 WOW man that styling  is so... so... so 80's Marantz  stereo system
 colours meets  Gennex (generic brand TV hifi) ergonomics. it also
 looks  like it's supposed to have espresso taps on top rather than a
 screen.
 
 
 seriously if I was back at high school (circa 1984) and this picture
 was doing the rounds as the future of computers I probably would have
 been impressed, 20 years down the track I'm gob smacked that anybody
 can come up with a design THAT BAD!

That is the most hideous looking computer I've ever had the displeasure of
viewing. It's like they took the iMac and ran it through an ugly machine.

anybody know if I have FAX set to receive and the lid is closed, but

I assume you mean 'turned on, not slept and logged in', in which case 
I would suspect the answer is yes. Not that I've tried it.


Have fun,

JBL Speakers

2004-09-24 Thread Ken Woods
Hi all,

Anyone care to comment on why a set of JBL Creatures Speakers would suddenly
be only providing sound from the left speaker (no right speaker or Sub)?

I have checked the preferences and all seems to be ok!

Is there anywhere else I should check before panicking.

Thanks in advance

Ken W

(I'm assuming the connection here is analog)

Have you tried the speakers from another source (discman, etc)...

Could always be the speakers...

Or check the computer output with a pair of headphones.

Cheers, Anton.

Swap them over left to right and see if it is a speaker problem.
