The screen is also very dark when first tuned on. Is this fixable? Or do I need to buy a new one? Thanks.

Computer's F11 Key Doesn't Work?My F11 button on my computer does not work 99% of the time. Because of recent updates on my computer, most of the time the box to write the chat in while playing games is all but cut off. The button doesn't work unless by chance. There is a link to do it another way, but that is only on screens with the tool bars at the top. The game page doesn't have those links. Anyone have any other suggestions? If we get the screen to enlarge , it surprises us so much we don't remember how we did it.

Apple Lost My RAM?Just a warning to people who own Macintosh computers and need to get them repaired. I sent a G4 iBook in for repair and when it returned, it was missing the 512 of RAM that was in the secondary RAM slot. The logic board was replaced, so it certainly had to be taken out to make the repair, but the tech never noted that it had the 512 MB of RAM.
