How about some Apple II related hacks? This is the computer that
started the whole thing 'way back when'! Would be nice to see a
few hacks of Apple II's. Maybe "vintage hacks"?

Hello!
I don't know if this is an appropriate forum for asking about Imac problems, but if not, maybe someone can point me in the proper direction. My Imac (G4 800Mhz running OS 10.2) has just started to emit a non stop clicking sound from the speakers upon booting - in fact it sounds like a moped! Sometimes it stops when programs start up, sometimes not. It all started after making changes to the screen saver. I have it set on 5 minutes. When I came back after supper, the screen saver had not turned on. Very strange. Any help would be much appreciated. Is there any way of knowing if this is a software or hardware problem?

I usually try to keep my Mac(s) running the latest/greatest OS and upgrades. However, as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be an immediate advantage to getting OS 10.3. Noting a previous post on this site, that the latest Safari upgrade is only for 10.3, I realize that the company's policy is to push the new and ditch the old (I was going to type ASAR (As Soon As Reasonable) but who is going to define the term "reasonable" here?). Therefore if I want to stay with the newest upgrades, I have to get it. If I don't, and I don't, I'll probably wait for 10.3.2.
