A friend of mine's G4 iMac combi-drive is also on the blink. The problem
started when the Japanese police took his computer into custody - they
were looking for evidence of illegal activity. The blockheads couldn't
figure out how to open the tray. Apparently they must have forced it
with a screwdriver or something as the front flap won't close anymore
and the thing pops out on annoyingly odd occasions. They also took his
printer into custody too as it was 'part of the set'.
They returned it to him (well actually told him to travel to Osaka and
pick it up himself) a few weeks later.

Apparently if he'd had any child pornography, that would have been OK -
owning the stuff here is quite all right. Various police agencies around
the world have been trying to bring Japan into line with the rest of the
world but Japanese politicos have been resisting the move as it would
interfere with their lucrative business.

Japan can be a weird place at times.

I never knew that "the rest of the world" was in agreement on what
threats are worth grabbing our computers.

Heck, my own country's three branches don't seem to be in agreement
here.
