RE: just ordered my mac!!!

Well it's here! I'm typing on it right now!!! It *is* a noisy
little f*cker but like I said, this box is for graphic design
only- my windows music box is down in the studio- and
it's got a NICE quiet fan on it!! I'm sure there's some
quiet 3rd-party-made fans for G4s out there? gotta be...
funny tho b/c I got this thing yesterday, set it up last nite,
and all I got was a fuckin grey screen!!! I messed
around, checked connections inside&out. figured it
prob. needed to be booted off a disc, like you would a
PC. Only I couldn't get the drive to open- not w/ key
commands or paper clip! In true macintosh-user
fashion, I called Apple support this morning and I was
right- just had to reinstall the OS. You hafta hold down
the eject key, not just tap it, to open the drive on start-
up. Quite a common problem I guess; the grey screen. I
can only imagine the apple-support calls, 'HELP!!! My
computer is broken!!" HAH HA HA.
But for real this thing is sick tho. Gotta admit Apple puts
a lot of thought into design, ease-of-use, etc.. very
smooth to use. But how do I turn off this stupid lady's
voice?!!
