Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my iMac. I bought it in January of 2005. It has a gorgeous big screen and runs all the software I really need.

In December of 2005 it started acting fritzy until it stopped working entirely. Bringing it into the Apple Store, they determined it was a motherboard failure. In went a new motherboard and it has been working like a champ ever since. I wrote about buying a new backup drive and extra storage last week. I started a backup and it was working like a champ--until the computer shut down on its own. I restarted the computer and tried again--boom, it shut down. This cycle went on until I finally just gave up.

On the Web, I found out that the power supplies in this model are particularly screwy. In the computer will go in the next day or so for repair. Thank goodness my wife convinced me to buy Apple Care when we bought the computer.

If this keeps up, all the parts will slowly but surely be replaced!
