Overheating iMac

 A few years back I did something silly even though I knew I should not do it.  I had a CRT iMac in my room that didn't have a seperate monitor switch and I wanted to get some sleep.  Because the display was too bright for me to get to sleep, I covered the iMac with a couple of towels and of course it overheated and would not turn back on.  I then searched Apple's knowledgebase and it told me to open up the unit and find a red PMU (Power Management Unit) button to reset the motherboard.  I did this and all was fine, thank God!

Printing from Parallels Desktop

Last month I installed Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop on my mac but I could not print anything.  I even installed the correct driver from my CD to no avail.  Then I remembered that I had to configure Parallels Desktop itself.  The instructions on how to configure it are below:

SOLUTION:

• Look at the bottom of the window to the right and you'll see a printer icon.
• Select it and now simply choose your printer in the pull-down menu.

Notice the printer icon between the floppy and speaker icons.  Click on image  to make it larger

Red light, green light

A few nights ago I was watching TV then I noticed my Nintendo WII's power light was red.  I thought there was a problem with the console, but looking in the manual told me that WIIconnect was just simply off.

The status lights are as follows:
