I have an iMac... one of the round ones with the moveable flat screen on the neck... with an 80gig hard drive... I bought it in Dec 2003. It works fine. It only has 7 or 8 gigabytes of space left on the drive. And I run 10.3.9

I probably only shut it off once a week or so. SOMEtimes, when I start it up, it goes "DOOOOOOOO" in a high pitch for a few seconds, then a few seconds later I get the normal Mac start up "DAAAH!"

What is going on?

Sounds like you're holding the power button too long and it's going in to programming mode.

AHA... sometimes that is exactly what I am doing... thank you...
