Mac Trouble - Part Deux

Well, I've definitely learned more about Macs over the past few weeks! I was finally able to get the computer up and running in 'safe mode' so that I could attach my new La Cie d2 160GB Extreme HD (love it!) to the thing and do a complete back up of all files. Whew! Then I was able to get the install discs that came with the computer to finally work, and did a complete re-install of the OS.

Everything was up and running and seemed to be working fine for about a week. Then....boom! crash! Damn thing locked up on me completely during a software update and when I attempted to shut it down and reboot, it never came up again. D.E.A.D. - DEAD!

Thank God we have an Apple store here in SF as David and I was able to take down there, wait about an hour, and hand the thing over and say 'Here. Fix this!'. Although the tech couldn't get it to boot up either (told him so), he made an initial diagnosis that it was a probelm with the logic board. Hmmmm... Hopefully we'll get it back in a week or so. Hopefully.
