This is my first Mac, and I worked HARD to pay the debt of getting this machine. I got it home, set it up, when I turned in on at the back, nothing happened. Is there another switch besides the switch above the power inlet for the Performa??? I used a standard PC power lead, or does it need the genuine Apple lead to supply power???

I would imagine he didn't press the "Startup/Shutdown" (I don't know the official name) key on the keyboard. On the older Macs, it's shaped as bit like this: <|

Fine.
It's got a floppy disc drive! ARRGHH!
Nothing wrong with older Macs, especially if you're on a tight budget as the original poster seems to be. I happen to love all the older Macs I just recently picked up a Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One for, and it's great. Oh and mine has a floppy drive and a Zip drive.

I had to work at this persons house to get it. Padwan awnsered the prob: Since I never turned on a Mac before, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD TO TURN IT ON BY THE KEYBOARD :eek:!!! It was built AUGUST 1995. It and has a CD-ROM. Look, I know it's old, but I can't afford a newer macintosh, and wasn't prepared to pay hundreds of bucks for an apple, since I had used one for 2 minutes (to try and shut it down!!!).
It has either a 500MB HDD or a 1GIG one, I don't know.
Has a REALLY low 8MB OF RAM, but CAN be maxed .out to 64MB OF RAM
My first Mac, a Performa 5200CD model Won't Boot
