No - no apple care contract. But we have had it for almost 4 years and
no problems at all.
But, as I opened it up to try the battery thing, lo and behold - the
desktop appeared again. Maybe it was tired from everyone home over the
holidays -
Thanks for the posting info, and I will make sure I will write down the
apple number too - nothing like looking at a blank screen wondering how
to call someone for help and no access to search a number.
Thanks for helping Woody -
Ellen

I assume that you don't have an apple care contract with mac or you
would have called them
for help. They have walked me through several problems. I would
suggest that you take the battery
out and then put it back in. It might solve the problem - it sure
would not hurt anything.

Here is a list for G4 users - I'm not on it now, but posing your
problem there may get you
results. http://lowendmac.com/lists/g4books.html
