Of course the OS is another insult, going by thalo...

Pick up the iMac G5 by grasping both sides of the computer. Carry it to wherever you wish.

I’m confused. Can I also carry it to where someone else wants it?

Groannnnn...

If I wasn't suspended from Apple Delusions, I'd start a topic about that, lol.

I'm still on hold waiting to find out how to put this damn thing down...

Don't know how to pick up and carry your iMac G5? It's easy.

Actually, they might have a good point. Some people might assume they need to levitate it.

Now, onto our second lesson: How to look at your iMac G5.

Darnnit, John. You're skipping ahead. First we will need to tackle the obvious implications of this Apple instruction:

Before moving your computer, make sure all cables and cords are disconnected.

That is, we'll discuss: How to disconnect a cable (the same procedure will apply to cords)

FAQ: Is disconnecting painful?
Answer: No, not usually. Not if you pull quickly and get it over with in one stroke.

How to look at your iMac G5.
--------------

If the room lights are off, turn them on now.

If you use any sight-enhancement equipment (such as eyeglasses or contacts) please don them now (refer to the instructions that came with the device).

If your iMac G5 is sitting on a desk, then sit down in front of it. (Note: Chairs can sometimes become separated from desks. Apple will not be held responsible for any injuries caused by users hitting the floor. Always refer to the instructions that came with your home when using desks and chairs.)

Sit so that your line of sight is perpendicular relative to the horizontal width of the desk. It may be difficult to acquire your iMac G5 if you are seated aglance or akilter or are otherwise not facing it squarely. This is also sometimes referred to as “sitting up straight in your chair and facing forwards”. [Please see Tech Note 4516 for further information on sitting correctly in a chair.]

Your iMac G5 should now be in plain sight before you. If you are still having trouble seeing your iMac G5 then make sure both of your eye lids are in the open position.

Do you realize how many people will be saved from tripping and dropping their new iMacs.

Kudos Apple for keeping on the ball.

“This will save you from dragging all your peripherals trailing and jangling behind you as you move into the other room of your choice. This will also save you from being able to actually DO anything with the iMac once you reach the other room of your choice. But you will be able to sit there in the other room of your choice and admire the gleaming beauty of your iMac. And, after all, haven’t we at Apple proven time and again since 1997 that the sacrifice of functionality is a small price to pay for beauty?”

All I want to know, is do we get a banana if we move the computer without injuring it or ourselves?

Yes along with those software coupons the new iMacs come with 4 banana redemption coupons.

“This will save you from dragging all your peripherals trailing and jangling behind you as you move into the other room of your choice.

Well – gosh – I probably don't even deserve a banana then. I can't think of how many times I've moved something (computer, vacuum, whatever) only to be whiplashed back because a cable was still connected or because a dangling cord got snagged on something. Admit it. I'm not alone.

And I hate plugging and unplugging stuff. If I think I can get away with it I'll drag a dangling keyboard and mice around if I think it will same some time. Admit that too. You've done it.
