Anthony S. came over to drop off something. He checked out the iMac while here anyhow. Neither of us are familiar enough with its bootloader (yaboot)... he made some progress but it's being temperamental. Meanwhile, the LCD has vertical lines -- a new panel isn't cheap -- and it is possible that the CD/DVD drive is at fault. This computer probably isn't worth fixing. Fortunately there is another iMac that he and I rescued yesterday, so we'll see if that one is in better shape.
