Which reminds me, I cannot help but sing the praises of Terry's Tech Service based out of Parkhill, Ontario about 45 min NW of London (well, he's actually out on a farm just outside Parkhill). Even *with* shipping, the cost of repairing our laptop was less than what CPUsed charged to *look* at it (plus, I've never seen a computer problem that Terry couldn't fix... well, if it was worth fixing, he's the first to tell you that fixing something big on a Mac Plus (or iMac Rev A for that matter) probably isn't worth it (but he'll do it if you really want ;)). <http://www.terrytech.on.ca/> (PS don't rely on his web site for too much unless the web page actually says it was updated in the past month... he doesn't pay much attention to it) I've been availing myself of his services since 1992 when I had a stuck shift key on my Mac SE's keyboard. The local Mac stores wanted $100 just to look at the keyboard and wouldn't guarantee they could fix it. A new keyboard would've cost $130 so that was a non-sequiteur. I took it to Terry and for $6 he popped off the switch and soldered on a new one. $1 for the switch and $5 for the 8 minutes it took him to do the work. That keyboard would still be in use today if it weren't for someone spilling beer on it three or four years ago. Eric. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
