Thanks to all the replied.  I have ordered the iMac and I guess I 
will see how it works.  I'm really not grounded at all.  Just an 
electrical ground to the third wire outlet.  I do have a 
counterbalance wire on he antenna.

I have moved the antenna as far away as I can and have no other 
option on that (How I wish I had the tower I had before I retired - 
with a Sommer seven band antenna)!! I haven't tried to tune on 6 
meters yet, I will try it.

The LCD studio display (15") does not have a power switch on it. 
Before I got it positioned pretty well, RF would turn on the Mac G5 
if it was plugged in.  I don't have that trouble now, especially at 
low power.

I really appreciate the help.
