The other 5 have been diagnosed by ComputerLand as defective power supplies. The best guess here is that Apple had a row of bad units from one of their suppliers, and let the defective units through. At least they have been very concerned & indicated great willingness to swap out the bad units. Still, that's not an encouraging percentage. Write if you want, and I'll provide follow-up details. -- Bill Douglass, TCADA "I dreamed I was to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet." L. Anderson
