Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone on this newsgroup lives in Childers (in QLD)?
My sister lives there and has just been given an old iMac 350 which is
running Panther. She just rang me saying it won't start up any more
(gets to the grey apple logo and no further).

A bit of a long shot I guess, but it's frustrating when she says all
her friends have PCs and nobody there even knows what a Mac is, let
alone have a clue how to run Disk Utility or some other simple
troubleshooting steps before I drive four hours to look at it for her.

Anyone??? I'm sure they can give you some free zucchinis or something :)

G'day Jeff

I live in Townsville - am President of NQMUG - and we try to help Mac
users wherever they may be. I would bet that your sister only needs to
re-install the Operating System. It may well have become corrupted while
moving, or something as silly as that (I have known this to happen -
true!). We are at www.nqmug.org - I know your sister may not be able to
contact us via the web, but there are phone contacts on our site for
just such an eventuality.

Thanks for your post. I think the issues are sorted for now, but I'll
keep nqmug in mind for the future!
