    Computer Advice for iMac

    I'm not fully computer savvy, but I do use my mid 2007 iMac every day & it really is a help to me. I've suddenly developed a 'whirling dervish' coloured spinning wheel. It comes up frequently & on this site it has slowed up my scrolling down the page etc. I've got masses of memory...

    Gorilla Gripper

    Thanks to everyone. Most grateful, but although it looks a good bit of kit, no one has yet bought one so I have no member's personal experience to call on. Will mull it over for a couple of weeks, but should I decide, I will relate if it is worth it. Thanks once again
