Just bought emac; where turn on button?

If it makes you feel any better...

I just helped my parents acquire their first computer - a G4 iMac. When it arrived, they managed to hook it up, but couldn't find the "on" button either...

On second attempt they did find it, so were saved having to get my help with that. 🙂

I think the tilt/swivel stand is a good idea. We bought our first eMac without it for our daughter because she didn't want the stand. She is is her twenties and can easily man-handle...well, "woman-handle" the heavy eMac to change viewing positions. When we bought another for my wife, we opted for the stand and it has made minor adjustment to accommodate older eyes very easy.

I put a piece of red plastic tape on my eMac, just above the power button, and used a marker to draw an arrow on the tape pointing to the power button.
(Bear in mind, the eMac was originally designed for schools as an education-only model --- hence the e in eMac --- and the power button was deliberately hidden off at the back to cut down on inquisitive fingers poking at it.)

hehe lol. It's just to the right of the I/O ports.

The eMac Swivel stand makes it a bit easier to find.
