Re the grooves on the underside for carrying the G3 iMac... when I got
my iMac about 5 years ago and had to take it on the bus, and then carry
it a couple of blocks, I improvised by folding a couple of store
brochures on the underside of the handle and that saved my fingers. It's
a slot-loader
It is a cooling issue, but I think I can live with it unless I
absolutely need to keep my iMac on for more than 4 hours (by that time
I would probably be found walking in slow motion to keep up with the
speed of this ancient machine)
I am still too used to my fancy PC desktop where I can do 15 thi
Wow, but I agree the slot-loader's handles seem much more flimsy. It's
probably because they nixed those handy little vents above the handle
area. Anyways, getting back on topic, from what I can see it looks
like it should be easy to cut away that hand-sheild part. Mounting a
fan in it, ho

I do have some massive cooling issues. It usually crashes about 2
hours into anything. (not that I use it for much, but it has crashed
when transferring files 8 times, to the point where I have to copy 1gb
at a time, and pray that it doesn't overheat)

Unless it's getting really, really hot, enough to crash your system, I
