Wondering how to carry your new G5 iMac?

[Doctor Q]

Thank goodness that iMeowbot came through for us and found the previous thread. Nice work, iMeowbot!

I thought there'd been a thread on this as well, but did a search...and nothin'...

I know why you and I couldn't find the previous thread. We just don't have enough experience in these forums. We may need to double our participation to improve our competency.

Actually, I see why we missed it. The previous thread linked to a MacBytes story instead of the knowledge base article itself, and nobody quoted the text of the article. No wonder my search terms didn't hit!

Don't know how to pick up and carry your iMac G5 without hands? It's easy.

Before moving your computer, kick madly at the cables and cords, trying to pry them loose without tipping the computer over.

Pick up the iMac G5 by biting the top edge with your teeth. You'll need to bite hard! Viciously fling the computer in the direction you're moving it. Go to where it lands and begin again, until it's wherever you wish.

Here I was thinking you threw it like a frisbee.


Technology is incredible.

Unplugging all the cables is silly. Just move the whole desk or table that the computer sits on, and then you can keep all the cables connected. And if you are worried about the power cord, simply use a big noisy propane-powered generator instead of an A.C. outlet. That way you can move the generator when you move the computer. With this kind of convenient portability, I'm sure you'll be the envy of all your friends. 😀

I think I'll wait for the after-market anti-gravity sides so I won't have to lift it at all. 🙂

the original iMac (every single G3 iMac) has a carrying handle on top.

Uh...I don't remember there being a "G2 iMac" so what is this original iMac you are talking about?

I phrased it that way in an effort to prevent useless smartypants comments like yours, but obviously that didn't work.

anyhow I don't want to get any more pedantic than the example you quoted. just read it again slowly to yourself, and consider that parenthetical phrases usually refer to what immediately precedes them.
