My G3 800 went out last week for repairs too. Shortly after I bought a new
G4 iBook, my G3 started emitting a burning smell from under the keyboard...
I don't know if it's the logic board, but fortunately I've got an AppleCare
contract. I'll be curious to see if it is indeed the logic board, though, to
