OT BUT>>>>>>> My imac g5 2005 is dying, I don't know how long we have, but currently...... video card failure.......... it aint pleasant! So we are probably looking at an enforced new purchase....... eek...... not affordable, surely!! Outrageous inbuilt obsolescence?? So, I dont suppose anyone is looking to sell theirs, lovingly looked after, imac g5 or newer at extra ordinary ably reasonable cost ( ie; less than on the bay) ???

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
