[Imc-tech] Re: [Imc-space] electrical problem in production room

[Mike Lehman]

Darrin,
Thanks for letting us know about this. I have reattached the box to the
wall, rewired it, and it is OK now. The Mac was booting up as I left and
it looked as if all the quipment it was connected to is OK.

Everyone should use caution with this box when pulling plugs out of it.
Please hold the box itself and pull the plug gently. The wall is a very
thin wallboard making it difficult to get wall anchors to hold it if
cords are yanked out of it.
